ArmInfo. No changes are expected in Armenian foreign policy with comming of Nikol Pashinyan. First of all, due to the fact that the peculiarities of the Armenian foreign policy completely exclude the possibility of its dictation by personal positions of anyone. The director of the Caucasus Institute, Alexander Iskandaryan, expressed such opinion to ArmInfo.
As a result of mass peaceful protests in Armenia, Prime Minister Serzh Sargsyan resigned. On April 25, the talks broke off. Prime Minister Karen Karapetyan and leader of the protesters Nikol Pashinyan. The authorities call the demands of the opposition too high, and the protest leaders state that the revolution has not been completed as long as the RPA remains in power. Peaceful protests have been going on for two weeks now.
"In my opinion, this is a much deeper process, based on geopolitics, the geographical location of Armenia, of course, the presence of Karabakh issue and the related security needs, mainly in weapons." Recently, Pashinyan himself virtually ruled out Armenia's withdrawal from the CSTO and the EAEU. And before all these events, the pro-Western party "Enlightened Armenia", and not the "Civil Treaty" of Pashinyan, reiterated the need to withdraw from the EAEU, "he said.
At the same time, Iskandaryan practically does not see parallels between the Armenian and Ukrainian revolutionary scenarios. So, the Ukrainian conflict and its central figure - Viktor Yanukovich, first of all, carried the foreign policy load. And the matter of the Ukrainian conflict was Ukraine's choice of civilizational orientation in the form of an Association Agreement with the European Union, which was actively opposed by Moscow. Meanwhile, according to his estimates, in Armenia there was no talk about the choice between the vectors of development both under Serzh Sargsyan and under the new authorities of the country. In this light, Iskandaryan is convinced of the exclusively domestic political motivation of the Armenian protests.
