ArmInfo. A single market without strategic partners should be formed in the South Caucasus. Economist and head of the Alternative research center Tatul Manaseryan expressed a similar opinion during a press conference on July 16.
The economist noted that the strategic interests of the allies of these countries - the United States, Russia and Turkey - do not coincide, and accordingly they cannot come to a common denominator. According to Manaseryan, because of this there will never be a peaceful situation in the South Caucasus. "Russia is part of the Caucasus, and this cannot be erased with an eraser, Turkey and the United States cannot," he said, noting that the Russian Federation has a vested interest here.
But first of all, as Manaseryan noted, all of Armenia, Azerbaijan and Georgia should sit down at one table and decide, because no one is interested in them with their small markets.
The economist noted that Azerbaijan must understand that sooner or later oil will run out, since in parallel with the serious development of innovation, its share is decreasing. Georgians also, according to Manaseryan, cannot fully take advantage of their advantageous position, because their neighbors are in conflict. "That is, Georgia should also be interested in a single market in the Caucasus, not to mention Armenia," he emphasized.
