Ричард Гирагосян:

Позиция Армении в карабахском процессе укрепилась в 2011 году по сравнению с позицией Азербайджана. Такое мнение выразил 27 декабря журналистам глава Центра региональных исследований, политолог Ричард Гирагосян.

По его словам, это хорошо заметно по результатам встречи президентом Армении и Азербайджана в Казани, где так и не было подписано никакого соглашения. “Позиция Еревана оказалась более честной и гибкой, в то время как позиция Баку лишена стратегии и дипломатии. Позиция Азербайджана максималистская, им нужно все”, - отметил политолог.

Говоря о дальнейшем развитии ситуации, Гирагосян определил как вызов для карабахского процесса тот факт, что на пост президента России претендует нынешний премьер-министр Владимир Путин. Гирагосян подчеркнул, что, невзирая на личный вклад Путина в дело разрешения конфликта, стиль Путина отличается от стиля Медведева проявлением меньшего терпения и оказанием большего давления на стороны. Кроме того, политолог указал на возможность большего сближения России с Азербайджаном, чему не сможет противодействовать Армения. “Россия очень сильна в Армении, и у Армении слишком мало рычагов воздействия на Россию, если ее позиция станет не проармянской”, - отметил Гирогосян.

Chinese leader Xi Jinping welcomed Russian President Vladimir Putin as an “old friend” as the two began a series of meetings Tuesday at a time when their countries face both overlapping and differing challenges from the United States.

According to AP, Putin addressed Xi as “dear friend” and said that Moscow’s ties with Beijing are “at an unprecedentedly high level.” Following their formal talks, they planned to have another meeting over tea with some of their top aides. The talks come the day after both attended a summit of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization in the nearby Chinese city of Tianjin, and the day before a grand Chinese military parade in Beijing to mark the 80th anniversary of the end of World War II.
