YEREVAN.- Armenian authorities should conduct a practical policy to counter the geopolitical challenges. The second President of Armenia Robert Kocharyan stated this in an interview with the “Hayots Ashkhar” newspaper.
According to him, this is the case when discussions are needed in certain circles, which may lead to some ideas that can become a guide for the implementation of practical policies. He noted that today the situation in the region is much more complicated than during the years of his presidency.
"At that time Turkey was more predictable, because it wanted to become a member of the EU, relations between the US and Iran were tense, but not to that extent. In addition, we must take into account the factor of Syria. That is, a number of new factors,complicating the situation, have appeared. In addition, all this is happening against the backdrop of a global confrontation between the power centers of the West and Russia. Today, it is much more difficult to pursue a complementary policy, since this field has been greatly reduced."
