Political technologist deplores Armenian government's foreign policy
Armenia is a country where public life is dominated by external factors, political technologist Vigen Hakobyan claims.
Speaking to reporters on Thursday, he highlighted that foreign policy is assumed to be a derivative of domestic politics. “Unfortunately, domestic policy in Armenia is a derivative of the external environment, impulses and challenges,” the expert said.
“Developments in Armenia, whose sovereignty is at the lowest level after 2020 when the country is actually under multipolar governance, are conditioned by the activity of external actors,” Hakobyan stated.
The political technologist pointed to Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan's latest trip to Moscow as stereotypical for Armenia’s policy pursued as he attended the summit of CIS leaders but refused to endorse two key statements adopted at the CIS Council of Foreign Ministers.
“The policy pursued by Armenia is pro-Western in the morning, pro-Iranian in the afternoon and pro-Russian in the evening. This is a cunning attempt to trick both Russia and the West. And then it turns out that the foreign policy priority of the Armenian government is Turkey, which I have been saying for a long time,” he pointed out.
