  1. From the Armenian perspective, these are all valid points and steps in the right direction. Sadly, we have to be prepared to be deeply disappointed, as Clinton or the US Administration will only pay lip service to these points. Clinton’s visit is nothing but a show.
    1- The NATO summit in Chicago was a farce. Nothing happens in NATO without the tacit approval and consent of the US.
    2- The boycott of the Summit by Armenia was a political gesture, morally correct, but had no effect,as Armenia is not a member of NATO, and geopolitically is not high on NATO’s agenda or interests.
    3- Turkey, unfortunately, continues to have a larger involvement in the NATO alliance’s forces. Immediately after the summit, NATO announced that Turkey will have 10 major-generals and 5 lieutenant-generals in the NATO Military Command.
    This, in addtition to the 24 NATO bases in Turkey, gives the Turkish government
    a lot of leverage in NATO.
    This certainly is not a pretty picture. I have no idea what it takes to tip the balance in our favor.

  2. Good Luck..

    1.Turkey is a member of NATO..It has 40 nuclear war heads on its soil..And we know who the true rulers of Turkey are. Both Banking and its Military don’t we?
    2.There’s LOTS OF OIL that both the British and the Israeli’s invested in Azerbaijan..
    3.Georgia is pro US and anti Russian.
    4..And unfortunately the Obama administration has proven to be horrible for Armenia’s interest. I wouldn’t hold my breath to Clinton doing any of those things.However a Republican Neo-con will be ten times worse.

    Politics is about opportunity. It is never about morality

    The only real option for Armenia is to strengthen itself militarily to deter a war or to defend itself in case of war, and quite relying upon political hand outs from both the US and Russia…

  3. Vart,

    Let me tell you what it takes to tip the balance in your favor. Armenia must soften its uncompromising attitude in the Caucasus.

    This is hurting Armenia a lot. The only lifeline Iran is crippled by the sanctions. The other day I read that Iran has halted the construction of the railroad to Armenia due to lack of funding.

    A landlocked country of no natural resources with a dwindling population, corrupt system. What else could be worse than this?
