What does it mean to raise the price of gas in Armenia? It means making Armenia’s economy completely dependent on Azerbaijan. It is not clear that Azerbaijani gas will be the “alternative”. Now, even if Azerbaijan will provide cheap gas to Armenia, isn’t it clear that it will not be done with charity? It is natural that he will do it with political strategic interest:

And what is the strategic problem of Azerbaijan? State absorption of Armenia. First of all, it implies economy, because say or do what you want, but the nature and logic of the state is the economy, the economic concept.

Now, if our economy comes under the “care” of Azerbaijan, I think it is not difficult to imagine the further “development” of that situation. Azerbaijan will give cheap gas, in return, of course, receiving strategic economic “wealths” from Armenia.

This is what the so-called Armenian-American Memorandum on Rare Fossils is about. if you think that the USA is interested in Syunik in that sense, you are wrong, to say the least. Syunik reserves are not enough to interest the USA. Azerbaijan is interested in them. The US is the “mediator” in both road and other issues. As the way was given de facto to Azerbaijan with US packaging, so it will be in the case of rare minerals. The US will simply get its so-called “commission” price from all of this, and of course the more global political arrangement with Azerbaijan, which is already a larger and strategically significant region in Central Asia. and resource calculation.
