“The Americans are gaining time to carry out a ground operation against Iran. Now, very active work is going on with all of Iran’s neighbors to see who will be able to become a participant or provide space for it. This is what the ongoing shadow negotiations are about. How Islamabad will present itself, how many times the commander of the Pakistani army will go to Tehran and come back is not important. this is done to divert attention, and the Iranian side already clearly understands this, that’s why they announced that they do not consider Pakistan as a mediator. The main preparatory work is going to carry out a ground operation. Trump is trying to do it, at least to save his face. If this also failed, and there are all chances that this will also fail, Trump has no choice but to simply resign,” Grigor Balasanyan thinks.

The international expert emphasizes that, although the Americans and the Israelis attacked Iran twice during the negotiations, the Iranians, being an Aryan people, usually keep their word, and when the foreign minister of an entire country comes to negotiate with them, they accept him in the same way, but even the world’s No. 1 superpower does not think to negotiate in parallel, “negotiate with one hand and pull the sword out of the sheath with the other to kill the other side.” purpose”.

According to the international expert, “the world no longer takes US President Trump seriously” especially after his recent speeches, and “Iran was a very tough nut to crack” for the United States and Israel.

Grigor Balasanyan is confident that after confronting the world’s No. 1 superpower and its ally and coming out victorious from this confrontation, Iran is not only acting from a position of actual strength in Iran-American negotiations, but it can also act from a position of strength and dictate its terms in matters related to the programs planned in Armenia and related to the Armenian-Iranian border, particularly TRIPP. Pointing to the sad experience of the Gulf Arab countries, which were considered allies of the United States during the Iranian conflict, Grigor Balasanyan warns. “Now is not the time to play friendship with the United States.”

According to the international expert, as a result of the war, Iran is becoming a leading state in the region, that’s why “Erdogan’s cover does not come out”.

“We will be the first to gain from the strengthened withdrawal of Iran, Aliyev’s appetite will be shut down very quickly,” added Grigor Balasanyan.

Regarding the topic, Grigor Balasanyan also expressed his point of view about the meeting between Putin and Pashinyan in the Kremlin on April 1 and the famous meeting that took place in front of the cameras. conversation, including regarding the discussion of the subject of Artsakh and the possible consequences of Putin’s transparent hints.

The international expert notes that after Putin’s speech in the Kremlin, problems with several types of Armenian products exported to Russia began to arise.

The international expert criticizes other parts of Pashinyan’s speech as well.

“Was it necessary to go to that meeting so unprepared? What does it mean: the Armenian-Azerbaijani border corresponds 100 percent to the borders of the Armenian SSR and the Azerbaijani SSR?  What does current Azerbaijan have to do with Soviet Azerbaijan? What does Soviet Azerbaijan have to do with this Azerbaijani constitution? Well, was it possible to go to the meeting so unprepared, was there no one to tell that person? Who wrote the text? Have you looked at the constitution of Azerbaijan? He is the Prime Minister of Armenia, we put the personality aside. The Prime Minister of Armenia goes to Moscow, meets with the President of the Russian Federation, participates in interstate negotiations. Why are you putting that person in a bad situation?

Have you not read the constitution of Azerbaijan, where 1991 is written in black and white? The constitutional regulations of Azerbaijan of October 28, which is the first, Azerbaijan considers itself 1918-20. Successor of the Democratic Republic of Azerbaijan, and secondly, Azerbaijan 1922-1992. considers the years of “Soviet occupation”. On what basis do you draw this border? This Azerbaijan does not consider itself the successor of Soviet Azerbaijan, therefore, with whom have we negotiated for so many years, that is, a self-proclaimed, in Russian, “samazvanets” (“samozvanets”), someone came and sat at the negotiation table, and in these 30 years, hasn’t someone said: what are you doing here, dear, who are you representing, who are you, the leader of which country are you in 1918-20, so when the question comes You will come and sit at this table to decide the question of whether the Kazakh region belongs to Armenia or Azerbaijan. You have no connection with Artsakh, because in 1918-20 There was no Artsakh on the territory of Azerbaijan, what are you talking about, who are you talking to?” said the international expert.
