Pashinyan is following the pro-Turkish path that Saakashvili pursued: Tigran Kocharyan

The path that Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan is taking is the pro-Turkish course once pursued by Mikheil Saakashvili, former president of Georgia. This was the assessment of Tigran Kocharyan, media expert and editor-in-chief of the news agency, speaking live on Alpha News.

“Everyone familiar with events in Georgia during Saakashvili’s presidency knows very well that within a short period of time, Turkish capital penetrated Georgia significantly. Then Adjara became a kind of ‘province’ of Turkey, where Georgians were stripped of many rights, for example, the right to hold senior positions in business. Then Azerbaijan and Turkey became the owners of the dominant share of the Georgian economy. The same fate awaits us,” Kocharyan noted.

According to him, in order to become a member of the European community, a country must at minimum share a border with a European country.

“If, for example, Ukraine has a border with Poland, and Moldova has one with Romania, Armenia has no such border with any European country. For that to change, either Turkey or Georgia would need to become EU members. But both countries are currently very far from that path. In effect, one could say that by choosing the ‘European’ path, Pashinyan is turning Armenia into a part of Turkey, and the country’s status as a subject is being reduced to that of an object,” Tigran Kocharyan stressed.
