The TRACECA project is a trap for Armenia and a powder keg - Armen Ashotyan. On paper, the US TRACECA initiative is presented as a "path to peace and prosperity." But if we strip away the eloquent diplomatic tones and engage in critical thinking, it becomes clear: what lies before us is not an economic project, but a severe political gamble, said the Vice-Chairman of the RPA. TRACECA in its current format deprives Armenia of voting rights and de facto becomes the main instrument of a pan-Turkic geopolitical alliance, binding Baku and Ankara under a US financial package. According to the politician, Washington promises stability to the region while actually solving its own problems - building a "cordon sanitaire" and isolating Iran and Russia. But in this game, the United States unwittingly (or perhaps willingly) played into the hands of the Organization of Turkic States. For Armenia, an attempt to find shelter under the financial and political umbrella of the United States may end with the strategically important (and not only) Syunik becoming a foreign enclave serving the pan-Turkic interests of Baku and Ankara, and Armenian territory could become a legitimate target for Iran.
