Published in News Digest

By empty (9/19/2006 issue of the CACI Analyst)

Leader of the opposition Democratic Fatherland Party Petros Makeyan believes both Armenia-USA relations and Armenia’s authority in the world “are in danger.” According to him, the USA has good relations only with the countries that are devoted to democracy and respect human rights, which for Armenia is an abstract concept. “Disrespect for Armenia” by the USA, says Petros Makeyan, is confirmed by the fact that the USA, opinion of which is very respectable in the UN, allowed introducing the issue of “frozen conflicts” into the agenda of the 61st session of the UN General Assembly under the GUAM initiative.

Besides, Petros Makeyan states that if the main for Armenia political vectors (recognition of the Armenian Genocide in the Ottoman Empire and the Nagorno Karabakh conflict) are settled, Armenia will disappear from the geopolitical arena and stop being interesting for world powers.Moreover, appointment of the new US ambassador to Armenia will not bring about radical changes in the Armenian-US relations, Makeyan believes.
