Areg Galstyan: Armenia conducts a policy of reaction, not prevention

According to objective factors, the Armenian factor should be number one in Russian politics on several indicators. According to political scientist, americanologist, candidate of historical sciences Areg Galstyan, historically and today, Armenia's political positions in Russia are in a favorable position.

However, another question is to what extent does Armenia use these positions? According to the political scientist, despite the fact that the initial positions of Armenia and Azerbaijan are radically different, Azerbaijan compensates for all this with its diplomatic and lobbying work.

“Azerbaijan is actively working with the media. I do not want to idealize the factor of Azerbaijan and to humiliate that of Armenia. However, Armenia is a member of all those integration structures that provide quite serious political opportunities,” Areg Galstyan explains.

"It is offensive when you see the inconsistent policy of Armenia, for example, in the case of the EAEU, when Kazakhstan moved the summit scheduled in Yerevan to Moscow in order to please Azerbaijan. Astana has its own interests, which it successfully implements, so do Moscow and Minsk. And where are our interests?” the political scientist asks.
