Expert: Armenia must counter Turkey in framework of Eurasian integration

Armenia must carefully follow the Eurasian integration process, which rests on rapprochement between Bolsheviks and Kemalist Turkey at the beginning of the 20th century, Armenian political analyst said.

Levon Shirinyan stressed the need to convey the importance of ‘Armenian wedge’ to the whole world.

In this context, the expert underscored the importance of the issues of Javakhk and Nakhijevan, urging the Russian partners to disclose the details of transfer of Nakhijevan to Azerbaijan under the Treaty of Kars.

Dwelling on the Eurasian Union, Mr. Shirinyan noted strengthening of the Russian presence as its true goal.
