Levon Shirinyan: Armenia should submit new model of security system for South Caucasus

Political analyst Levon Shirinyan said that Armenia should submit a new model of security system for the South Caucasus. The country should offer recognition of all autonomous regions, which have factually become independent states, Shirinyan told a press conference in Yerevan.

At the same time, the Armenian expert noted that Yerevan should work with Moscow on this. “Russia should understand that if it does not want to lose the South Caucasus, it should recognize the independence of all autonomies,” said Shirinyan.

He added that Armenia should treat cautiously the format of three states (Armenia, Georgia and Azerbaijan), as two of them will always be against the third. “Georgia and Azerbaijan will oppose to Armenia, as was the case in 1918-1920,” noted Shirinyan.
