In recent days, Trump's use of the name "Artsakh", the use of the term "ethnic cleansing", and his communication with Catholicos Aram are in direct contradiction with the official positions of the Armenian authorities, and I am sure that all this is being watched nervously in Yerevan.
international scientist Suren Sargsyan wrote about this on his Facebook page.
"Of course, it is unacceptable to ignore the pre-election factor here, but today Trump is outlining his possible foreign policy with his own hand, which, according to the created environment, we can influence.
When I say we, I mean, first of all, the Armenian community, the church, the Armenian lobby, Armenian-friendly politicians and organizations. Among the endless mistakes, another mistake made by the Armenian authorities and the Armenian ambassador to the United States is not to build adequate relations with the Republicans. was to be avoided at all costs.
Moreover, it is absolutely not important whether Trump will win or not. After all, in 2 days there are also congressional elections, where the possible victory of the Republicans will have a serious impact on the American political agenda. It doesn't matter to me who will win on November 5, I am sure that working with any president will open up horizons.
All this interests me exclusively on a professional level. I also think that the Armenian government's and Armenia's state/national interests are significantly different from each other and, as a result of all this, there will be a need to work with any American government in an alternative way," the internationalist wrote.
Earlier, it became known that the former president of the USA, the Republican candidate for the presidency, Donald Trump, called the Catholicos of Cilicia Aram I at the house of Mets, reaffirming his support for the Armenians of Artsakh and the efforts to establish peace in the region.
He also praised the American Armenian community, describing it as strong, intelligent and dynamic.
The Catholicos of the Great House of Cilicia, for his part, expressed hope that the new US administration will seriously address the Artsakh problem, in particular, the issues of the right of return, international guarantees of security and status of the Armenians of Artsakh, and responsibility for ethnic cleansing.
