Forecast: In Moscow, Sargsyan will discuss with Putin the Agreement with the EU, his own premiership and Artsakh
ArmInfo.In Moscow, Serzh Sargsyan will discuss with Vladimir Putin the Agreement with the EU that is being prepared for signing on November 24, prospects and the price of its own premiership and, of course, the Artsakh problem. Director of the Armenian Center for Political and International Relations Aghasi Yenokyan expressed the opinion of ArmInfo.
On November 15, President Serzh Sargsyan, at the invitation of the Russian president, went on a working visit to Russia, where he will meet with his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin. "It will be difficult to predict whether or not the agreement with the EU will be signed as a result of the Moscow voyage of Sargsyan: in any case, both parties will make demands: in other words, the signing will force Moscow to meet certain requirements, and the refusal to sign will make concessions to Yerevan
Therefore, the issue of prospects for relations with Europe will undoubtedly be discussed in the context of the Armenian-Russian relations, "the political scientist is convinced.
Yenokyan obviously believes that the issue of candidacy of the future prime minister of Armenia is not determined by society, even within the framework of the ruling Republican Party. According to his estimates, Armenia has reached a state in which it expects to receive permission to approve the candidacy of its own prime minister from Russia. "I do not think that Sargsyan can not become prime minister, he simply has to render a lot of small and large services to the Kremlin for this," the political scientist is convinced.
The issue of Artsakh, according to Yenokyan, is also in the spectrum of the Armenian-Russian relations, in particular, taking into account the observed new regional impulses. According to him, it is about Moscow, Ankara and Tehran leaving for certain agreements, which is obvious, since Russia, Iran and Turkey are the direct neighbors of the South Caucasus.
"In this light, it is more than obvious that our three Caucasian countries are a small bargaining chip in the relations of the above-mentioned three regional powers, the largest of which is the issue of Artsakh, because with other countries, at least for now, such important issues, apparently, no "- summed up the political scientist.
