ARA ABRAHAMIAN: "ARMENIA NEEDS STABILITY FOR ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT"
- It's hard to assess the situation in Armenia out of the international context. Today the world is in a serious financial and food crisis. The rise in food prices has had an effect not only on newly developed countries but also on the most developed countries of the West. Power-bearing substances has also had a rapid growth in prices. Besides, the world has entered a stage of deep financial crisis. These three factors have first an effect on those countries that haven't yet taken a stable way of development and haven't formed a modern economy.
In this situation, the only neighbor of Armenia that gives the latter an opportunity of entrance to outer world, and provides economic and financial support, is now under a serious threat. I speak of Iran that is now under US and Israeli menace.
The blockade of Armenia by Turkey continues. In the year of presidential elections the warlike announcements of the official Baku become more frequent.
Georgia in its turn has conflicts with Russia, Abkhazia and South Osetia that does not contribute to the strengthening of regional stability. - Do you think that the Russian-Armenia relations and cooperation can ease the negative effects on Armenia that today occur in the world economy.
- Yes, of course. The results of the Armenian President's successful visit to Moscow is a witness to it. Many important arrangements were made over the gas prices and delivery of raw materials to the Armenian diamond perfection plants.
During the visit, the Armenian President met with the Armenian community of Russia and well-known figures of Russian scientific, cultural and business spheres. The President called them to participate more actively in both economic and scientific/cultural life of Armenia, to carry out concrete programs and strengthen the Armenian-Russian bilateral relations.
Not all the political forces both in Armenia and abroad are for the strengthening of the relations between our two countries. That is the reason why it is very important to carry out the arrangements in time and in full volume. - Of course, the Armenian inner-political situation develops both in the context of the world and Russian-Armenian original relations. Which are the challenges to the Armenian authorities?
- Taking into account all those circumstances, I can say that it will be very difficult for the Armenian economy to meet all the challenges without foreign assistance. The opposition that lost the elections does not conciliate with its defeat and does everything to destabilize the situation and come to power by means of rallies and mass meetings.
The authorities of the republic try to meet those challenges by uniting the available resources. Besides, the Armenian leadership tries to form a more effective mechanism to use the opportunities of Diaspora in the settlement of social and economic issues of the republic.
I think that in this stage it is necessary to concentrate the efforts of all Armenians in the world on helping Armenia, the new President and Government to carry out the programs presented by the President during his campaign.
Today Armenia most of all needs stability for its economic development.
I hope that the Armenian political figures, the authorities and the opposition realizing the complication of the issues will be first led by national interests subordinating group interests.
