USA-IRAN RELATIONS AND ARMENIA'S POLITICAL INTERESTS
According to the report of the US intelligence, the Islamic Republic of Iran had stopped its nuclear program already in 2003. This statement caused the Democrat majority of the Congress to demand the White House to revise its policy and relationships with Iran.
Although it is certain that Bush's government shall hardly change its policy on Iran, the discovery of the American intelligence provides an opportunity of improvement in USA-Iran relations. According to US mass media, this is the first time the intelligence publishes an impartial report, without fitting it to the policy of the White House. Not such a long time ago, a falsified report of the US intelligence made possible the Congress' consent for the invasion to Iraq. Only later it came out that Saddam Hussein's regime possessed no chemical weapon, and the government's allegations were merely means of gaining the support of the society and the Congressmen. This time the intelligence appeared to be as impartial as possible, although it concluded that Iran in any case remains a dangerous state.
We decided to refer to this report because of the crucial importance of both Iran and the United States in the foreign policy of the Republic of Armenia. Improvement of relations between the USA and Iran is among Armenia's vital interests. Unfortunately, it is clear that serious positive shifts in USA-Iran issues are impossible until the Neo-Conservator wing of the Republican Party holds the power in the United States. On the contrary, the Democrat Party advocated developing peace dialogue with the Middle Easter states, which will contribute not only the consolidation of the USA's authority in the region, but also the improvement of USA-Iran and USA-Syria relations.
To be reminded, US Congress Representatives Chamber Speaker Nancy Pelosi, during her last visit to Middle East, had a meeting with President of Syria Bashar Asad. This unprecedented action of Ms. Pelosi caused the irritation of the White House authorities and at the same time displayed the serious disagreement of the Democrats with the policy of George Bush.
The current policy of the White House not only caused reduction of US influence in Middle East, but also showed the dependence of the White House on some states. For example, the issue of H. Res. 106 revealed the vulnerability of the world's number one super-state and its dependence on the whimsicalities of Ankara. This situation is resulted from America's shortsighted policy on Iran and Syria.
Positive shifts are possible only in case a political change in the United States and the victory of the Democrats in the presidential elections, November 2008. Therefore, Armenian lobbying organizations should do everything possible to support the Democrat candidate, as normalization of the USA relations with Iran and Syria shall not only stabilize the political situation in our region, but also contribute the consolidation of Armenia's positions.
