Abraham Gasparyan: A new world order is taking shape with the use of tough measures; The fight is going to be intense

A new world order is emerging, taking into account not only the vital interests of great powers. This new order is not being established on the basis of human rights protection or freedom; rather, a more rigid set of tools is being applied, and the fight is going to be intense, political scientist Abraham Gasparyan, Director of Genesis Armenia think tank/foundation, said during the podcast “Special Regime” aired on ABC media.

The experts discussed the regional players with whom Armenia—at the level of new authorities—should cooperate in the future.

“The upcoming Armenian leadership’s boldest step should not be to plead for peace from a position of weakness or beg for diplomatic relations; instead, we must have the courage to propose a long-term non-aggression pact, which will pose a unique model,” Gasparyan said.

With regard to Armenian-Turkish relations, analyst Karen Bekaryan, Chair of the Board of INSIGHT Analytical Center, said: “We are a people who have survived genocide, and the issue has not reached its logical conclusion—global condemnation, the removal of consequences, etc. This brings about security issues, and as long as a crime remains unpunished, it has a tendency to recur.”

According to the analyst, this was evident during the 44-day war when Turkey openly supported Azerbaijan.

It was also noted that there is no progress in relations with Turkey due to a trust issue, primarily driven by security concerns.

“In the context of security, Armenia and Turkey may, on a larger scale, play a much lesser role than the Russia-U.S. agreements regarding this region,” Gasparyan stated.

Gasparyan added that the legal and political foundation being established serves as a basis for the development of public diplomacy, parliamentary diplomacy, and democratic processes.
