What Armenia Did and Did not Lose as a Result of the Ceasefire Declaration in Karabakh
Tbilisi. The Georgian Foundation for Strategic and International Studies publishes a blog post by Kakha Gogolashvili, the organization's chief researcher: What Armenia Did and Did not Lose as a Result of the Ceasefire Declaration in Karabakh
“To conclude, we can point out that the outbreak of hysteria in Armenia, accusing Prime Minister Pashinyan of making a “treasonous deal” and equating the result to a “catastrophe,” is incorrect. This is a panic reaction of the society caused by confusion and an insufficient understanding of the results. In reality, Armenia has managed to conclude the situation with relatively small setbacks if one can say this considering that thousands of soldiers and civilians have died. However, when I say this, I am speaking about political outcomes. As for the long-term humanitarian consequences, they may turn out to be beneficial for Armenia as opening up roads and other communications of regional importance, which the declaration entails, will bring significant economic and social benefits for Armenia if actually implemented”, - is said in the organization's website.
