Current stage of Armenia

The Geneva meeting was a defeat of Armenia or a sale of something.

Armenia does not decide its policy. Let's recall the September of 2013 when Armenia changed its decision overnight. Head of the “Collaboration for Democracy” centre Stepan Danielyan continues and adds, “By saying Armenia, we mean Serzh Sargsyan”. "After that, the same took place in Ukraine but in a bloody manner. In Armenia, this all happened milder. And a few days later, the US Embassy replied that they respect Armenia's sovereignty,” he recalls.
According to Stepan Danielyan, the European Union intended to sign the Association Agreement with the four post-Soviet countries for Ukraine. “The whole “game” was for Ukraine,” he says. In terms of economics, Armenia has no importance for both Russia and the West. “Armenia is a strategic country in the concept of the Middle East, the South Caucasus and Central Asia," he says.
As for the Geneva meeting of the presidents of Armenia and Azerbaijan, Danielyan believes that the meeting is the victory of Azerbaijan. “It was a defeat of Armenia or a sale of something,” he says. Find the details of the conversation in the program “Paradigm”.
