Political scientist Hakob Badalyan writes:
"Nikol Pashinyan, who is in Washington for almost two days, has done only one significant statement in this time.
"If you ask what the most effective way to support Armenia from the US point of view, I will say that inclusion of peace in the South Caucasus would be very important in the list of priorities of the US political elite."
He made this statement during the event organized by the Save Armenia initiative, which was attended by Armenian and foreign representatives of various organizations.
In fact, what does it turn out? Nikol Pashinyan de facto states that peace in the Caucasus is not a priority for US. Otherwise, why should he state that it would be important to "include" the US political elite priorities? If, "including it would be very important," it will mean that it is not included at the moment.
I do not think that Pashinyan uses words, so to speak verbs and times without attention.
It turns out that Nikol Pashinyan will have or unwilling that the issue of peace in the Caucasus is not a US priority.
Let's go a little, a few months, 2024, Yerevan. US Deputy Secretary of State James Oh Brian states that the average corridor is a priority for the United States, Azerbaijan-Armenia-Turkey, from Central Asia to the Mediterranean Sea.
Pashinyan's statement in Washington means a hint that the average corridor for the United States is a priority, but it is not a priority to be peaceful only.
This was also before the change of the administration, whether Pashinyan thinks that this is the case after the administration's change. As I have noticed, it seems that the traffic team has not yet had any significant refreshment to the Caucasus. Most, Marco Rubions discussed the process between Armenia and Azerbaijan with Turkey.
In fact, at least he has not discussed this issue with the Foreign Ministers of Armenia and Azerbaijan. Of course, the rubion is super busy with more important issues, but it is a pointer. "
