IRAN, ARMENIA FIND SOLIDARITY IN ISOLATION

Voice of America
March 12 2013

By James Brooke
12 March 2013

YEREVAN - While the West seeks to isolate Iran over its disputed
nuclear program, landlocked Armenia seeks to build relations with
its neighbor -- without violating international sanctions.

In all of Christian Armenia, there is only one mosque: "The Iranian
Mosque," restored 15 years ago by Iran.

The mosque offers classes in Persian and is an essential landmark for
visiting Iranian VIPS, like Iran's President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. He
came to Yerevan 15 months ago to meet with Armenia's President Serj
Sarkisyan.

The West seeks to isolate Iran, believing its nuclear program is being
used to build a nuclear bomb. Iran denies the charge. But Armenia
is positioned between two historic enemies -- Turkey to the west and
Azerbaijan to the east. Armenia has no trade or diplomatic ties with
the two nations. Instead, it trades north with its Christian neighbor,
Georgia. Now it is trying to expand trade and investment to the south,
with Iran.

"Armenia is the only neighbor of Iran where the regime or the
government in Iran feels quite comfortable, and is actually keen to
increase relations," says Richard Giragosian, director of the Regional
Studies Center, a Yerevan think tank. "From the Armenian perspective,
there is a shared sense of isolation, where both Iran and Armenia feel
surrounded by either hostile or rival states and feel under blockade
or sanctions."

Looking for alternatives

Iran and Armenia are linked by a narrow border -- a 35-kilometer long
stretch of the Aras River.

A two lane mountain road links Armenia with Iran, a nation with an
economy and a territory about 50 times the size of Armenia's.

With the highway slow and often dangerous, Armenians look for
alternatives.

Iran expert Gohar Iskandaryan says a top priority is to extend
Armenia's Soviet-era railroad south.

"Once Armenia can find investments, we can connect our railway to
the Iranian rail network and have access to the Indian Ocean and
the Persian Gulf," says Iskandaryan, an Iran expert at the National
Academy of Sciences of Armenia.

One bright spot

Six years ago, Armenians started to heat their homes with gas coming
through a new pipeline from Iran. Now Armenia wants to build an oil
pipeline from Iran and two hydroelectric power plants on their shared
river border.

But Iskandaryan says sanctions over Iran's nuclear program could
block funding for these projects.

"This is not only Armenia's choice," she says. "It's an issue for
the big powers -- the United States and Russia."

While sanctions have hurt Iran's economy and cut trade with Armenia,
Giragosian sees one bright spot.

"The Iranian government has actually banned the import of luxury
items which includes laptops, makeup and cosmetic products, to even
chocolate," said the think tank director. "Therefore, it will only
encourage the rise or emergence of somewhat of a black market where
Iranians coming to Armenia for tourism purposes begin to start to
acquire these now-prohibited consumer items." Some Iranian tourists
to Armenia are looking for more than lipstick.

Arayik Vardanyan, executive director of Armenia's Chamber of Commerce
and Industry, says they are buying apartments. "Many Iranians are
coming," says Vardanyan. "And that could mean that they are searching
in advance for places they can leave to if war breaks out."

The ebb and flow between Iranians and Armenians goes back almost
3,000 years to the construction of Erebuni, a hilltop fortress that
gave its name to Yerevan. If modern-day leaders have their way,
these two ancient neighbors will continue trading and visiting,
paying little heed to the outside world.

US SAYS ARMENIA STILL NOT ELIGIBLE FOR MCA PROGRAM

http://asbarez.com/110706/us-says-armenia-still-not-eligible-for-mca-program/

Monday, June 17th, 2013

Prime Minister Tigran Sargsyan with Ambassador John Heffern on Friday
(Photolure)

YEREVAN (RFE/RL)~WArmenia is still not eligible for renewed large-scale
assistance from the United States which is conditional on political
and economic reforms, U.S. Ambassador John Heffern said on Friday.

Heffern cited the Armenian government~Rs stated efforts to combat
endemic corruption, saying that they have not been deemed satisfactory
by a U.S. government agency managing the Millennium Challenge Account
(MCA) program.

The program is designed to reward developing countries committed to
good governance with targeted economic assistance. Armenia qualified
for the scheme shortly after its launch in 2006, getting $177 million
in MCA funding for the rehabilitation of rural irrigation networks.

The U.S. Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC) also planned to
allocate another $60 million for the reconstruction of the country~Rs
rural roads. But the MCC scrapped that allocation shortly after a
disputed February 2008 presidential election that was followed by a
harsh government crackdown on the Armenian opposition.

The Armenian government has been trying to secure renewed aid from
the MCC since then. Prime Minister Tigran Sargsyan met with Daniel
Yohannes, the corporation~Rs chief executive, when he visited
Washington last December.

~SThe MCC has about 13 indicators,~T Heffern told journalists in
Yerevan. ~SThere are two really critical ones, one of which is
anti-corruption. For a country to be eligible for an agreement with
the MCC, they have to pass those two indicators for sure.~T

~SAs the deputy foreign minister said, Armenia was very close on those
two indicators. It came up a little bit short on the anti-corruption
indicator. So it~Rs really important that Armenia focus very much on
that area,~T the envoy said.

The authorities in Yerevan have repeatedly pledged to tackle bribery,
nepotism and other corrupt practices in earnest. Prime Minister
Sarkisian announced a new anti-corruption drive last November,
urging civic and opposition groups to get involved in it. The latter
dismissed the offer as unserious, however. They claim that President
Serzh Sarkisian is not prepared for a genuine fight against corruption
because it would endanger his hold on power.

Armenia occupied a lowly 129th place in Berlin-based Transparency
International~Rs 2011 Corruption Perceptions Index (CPI) of 183
countries. It ranked 123rd of 178 nations surveyed in 2010.

Armenia facing high debt payments in 2013
1 March 2013

IMF and World Bank are responsible for almost two-thirds of the debt

Armenia has been judged by the IMF and World Bank to be at low risk of not being able to pay its debt, despite the fact that government foreign debt payments are expected to be 18 per cent of government revenue this year. This assumes the economy will grow by more than 4 per cent and exports by 8 per cent.

Furthermore, the government only accounts for half of Armenia’s foreign-debt. Including the private sector, debt payments this year by the whole Armenian economy will be a huge 32 per cent of exports.

In 2012, the IMF and World Bank said that they would start to take account of debts owed by the private sector in their assessments of debt sustainability. Whilst their assessment of Armenia recognises that “the significant private external debt stock constitutes a source of vulnerability”, they take no account of this is their assessment of Armenia’s ability to pay its debts.

One reason for the IMF and World Bank’s positive outlook on Armenia’s debt is that they are together responsible for 61 per cent of it. Other creditors to Armenia include Russia (14 per cent), Japan (11 per cent), the Asian Development Bank (5 per cent) and Germany (4 per cent).

ARMENIAN PRESIDENT SLAMS AZERBAIJAN AND TURKEY

12:12 26.06.2013

Statement by President Serzh Sargsyan at the joint press conference
with the President of the Republic of Poland BronisÅ~Baw Komorowski

Distinguished Mr. President,

Ladies and Gentlemen,

I am glad to be here, in the friendly Poland at the invitation of
President BronisÅ~Baw Komorowski, and I am deeply touched by the warm
Polish hospitality.

Today, we've held substantial and productive talks with President
Komorowski on the strengthening of bilateral cooperation, prospects
of development as well as on a number of international issues of
mutual interest. We noted with satisfaction that recent years in the
history of the Armenian-Polish interstate relations have been marked
by the upward development of bilateral ties, high-level official,
including presidential, visits and frequent contacts.

We've spoken about the process of implementation of the agreements
reached during the 2011 visit of the President of Poland to Armenia. I
am glad to state that we observe progress in all discussed areas
which testifies to our mutual desire and readiness to develop the
Armenian-Polish cooperation.

We concurred with President Komorowski that there has been laid a
good basis for the cooperation in the political, economic, cultural,
decentralized, military and technical, cultural and educational,
tourism and other areas of mutual interest, noting at the same time
that there is potential to expand them further. The documents signed
today prove it.

I will not conceal my admiration with Poland's economic advancement.

Economic growth registered by Poland during the global financial and
economic crisis is impressive and instructive indeed.

Trade and economic cooperation with Poland is significant for Armenia,
however I wouldn't call its current level satisfactory. With
this regard with attach certain hopes to the activities of the
Armenian-Polish intergovernmental commission and Armenia-Poland Trade
and Industry Chamber-Fund.

We mutually agreed on the need to strengthen the cultural relations
and as Mr. President said, we have already reached agreement on the
events to be organized next year. We have certainly discussed critical
regional and international issues. We have spoken about the prospects
of cooperation in the framework of the EU Eastern Partnership whose
co-founder, meticulous implementer and supporter is also Poland.

Unfortunately, there are still problems in our region, conditions
which impede the full realization of the opportunities provided by
the Eastern Partnership. Regrettably, for some Europe still remains
a market rather than a system of values. It is really ludicrous when
one of our neighbors, which has declared its adherence to the European
way of life, at the same time glorifies a scoundrel which committed
a revolting murder on ethnic grounds, threatens to shoot down civil
aircrafts and to deprive through a war the nation, which has been
living on its land for millennia of that right. Another neighbor
of ours - Turkey, which has also been striving to join Europe and
is a member of the EU Customs Union, since almost day one of our
independence shut down our border and refuses to maintain relations
which are but normal between the neighbors in the 21st century.

With Europe, the pivot of our negotiations is mutual accessibility
of our markets, free movement of people; however Armenia's border
with the EU Customs Union remains under lock. We anticipate a full
and unequivocal assessment of the inadmissibility of such conduct.

I once again express thanks to Mr. President for the invitation and
warm welcome.

At the joint press conference with the President of Poland
BronisÅ~Baw Komorowski, President Serzh Sargsyan responded to the
question of a journalist on what is the attitude in Armenia toward
the integration processes. Serzh Sargsyan said, "Strategic nature
of the Armenian-Russian relations is no secret. We have been living
side by side for many years and for some considerable time - in one
common state. During centuries, good, friendly relations based on
mutual respect were formed. We are friendly nations; we have a common
history and are proud of that history. Armenia and Russia are members
of the CSTO; with Russia we have extended military-technical and deep
economic relations. The largest Armenian community resides in Russia
and the members of that community are much respected people. We have
never made a step aimed against Russia and have no complex which would
compel to make such a step. We are the nation which is a carrier of the
European values and our goal is to advance our society based on that
very values. Armenia is a country which has registered an impressive
progress in the framework of the EU Eastern Partnership. We build our
work based not on "either-or" but on "both" principle, and I don't
see any incongruity here."

On the question whether Poland will assist Armenia in the process of
Eurointegration, the President of Armenia responded, yes, Poland has
been and is assisting us. We need that help and assistance.

The next question directed to Serzh Sargsyan was on the importance of
the international assistance to the reforms conducted in Armenia and
prospects, particularly now when Armenia has been moved from the list
of the low-income countries to the list of the middle-income states
and thus has lost a considerable portion of international donors'
assistance.

Responding to this question, the President of Armenia underscored that
Armenia needs technical, material assistance, also in the form of
exchange of experience, etc. and anticipates such assistance. Serzh
Sargsyan spoke about the large-scale reforms undertaken in the
customs and tax structures, improvement of the business environment
and underscored that it is impossible to implement all these reforms
without substantial investments. The President spoke also about the
large-scale program to be launched on January 1, 2014 which envisages
providing competitive wages to all those employees whose salaries
are funded through the state budget and to all employees in general.

Underlining that the main burden of the reforms mentioned above
naturally rests with the Armenian authorities, President Serzh
Sargsyan, at the same time, stressed the importance of investments
and assistance to that process.

Re: Armenia's Economic Pulse

While reading this next article keep in mind that it is not Russia who puts preconditions on Armenia but it is the EU and the USA who do it by saying you cannot be in EU and Russian custom union.

ARMENIA WEIGHS FOREIGN ECONOMIC PARTNERSHIPS

Institute for War and Peace Reporting, UK
IWPR Caucasus Reporting #693
July 2 2013

Some experts warn of dangers of getting too close to Moscow, others of
abandoning its protection.

By Vahe Harutyunyan - Caucasus

Armenia is under mounting pressure to choose between two different
directions - pursuing closer economic ties with the European Union, or
joining a customs union with other former Soviet states. Analysts in
the country warn that either choice could pose significant risks.

On June 24, Energy Minister Armen Movsisyan became the first senior
Armenian official to say it would make economic sense to join the
Customs Union, a grouping that currently consists of Russia, Belarus
and Kazakstan. He told the Regnum news agency that membership would
allow Armenia to buy natural gas and nuclear fuel at cheaper prices.

Of the other former states, Kyrgyzstan is hoping to join the Customs
Union next year and Tajikistan has also expressed an interest in
becoming a member. Moscow is hoping that the free-trade bloc will
become the basis for the Eurasian Union, a broader project which it
plans to launch in 2015. At this point, the Eurasian Union is still a
fairly vague concept, which Western officials see as an attempt by the
Kremlin to regain some of its lost influence.

Meanwhile, Traijan Hristea, head of the EU delegation in Armenia, told
journalists on June 24 that negotiations on a free trade deal were
almost completed. He said only a few technical matters needed to be
resolved before the agreement could be signed at a summit in Vilnius
in November.

However, any decision to move towards the Customs Union could derail
hopes of free trade and simplified visa arrangements with the EU.

"The European Union cannot sign a deep and comprehensive free trade
agreement with a country that is a member of the Russia-initiated
Customs Union," Elmar Brok, chairman of the European Parliament's
foreign affairs committee, said in an interview with RFE/RL in March.

"Not only Armenia, but other member states of the Eastern Partnership
project must make the choice."

The Eastern Partnership links the EU with Armenia, Azerbaijan,
Georgia, Moldova, Ukraine and current Customs Union member Belarus.

Speaking as US Secretary of State last December, Hillary Clinton,
expressed concern about Moscow's intentions.

"There is a move to re-Sovietise the region," she said at a meeting in
Dublin. "It's not going to be called that. It's going to be called
Customs Union, it will be called Eurasian Union and all of that. But
let's make no mistake about it. We know what the goal is, and we are
trying to figure out effective ways to slow down or prevent it."

Kremlin officials deny there is any master plan to restore Russian
dominance over the old Soviet Union, but analysts in Armenia say the
gas price hike, as well as a recent Russian arms sale to Azerbaijan,
are part of a deliberate policy of pushing Armenia to enter the
Customs Union.

The Russian-controlled monopoly firm that holds a monopoly over
natural gas sales in Armenia is raising its prices by 18 per cent from
July, in a move that will drive up electricity prices by an estimated
27 per cent. The steep increase has caused serious concern among
ordinary people - especially the third of the population who live in
poverty - as well as among businessmen concerned at its wider economic
effects. (See Gas Equals Power in Russian-Armenian Relations.)

Armenia has always seen Russia as a close ally, and Moscow maintains a
military presence in the country. In June, however, the Moscow
business daily revealed that the Russians were supplying tanks,
artillery and light armoured vehicles to Azerbaijan, a country that
Armenians have viewed as a threat since the Nagorny Karabakh war ended
in a fragile truce arrangement in 1994.

Commenting on the arms sales, Ruben Mehrabyan of the Armenian Centre
for Political and International Studies said, "It's no secret that
Armenia is practically in a state of war with Azerbaijan, and the
Kremlin is doing this to demonstrate the leverage it has, and what it
can do in the region."

Mehrabyan sees closer integration with the Moscow-led economic
grouping as a risky unknown.

"For Armenia as for any other country in the post-Soviet space, the
Eurasian Union presents a serious threat," he said. "We can't discuss
integration with this union since we don't know what values it is
going to be based on. It might involve hierarchical obedience to
Moscow."

Other analysts, however, say that if there is a choice to be made, it
has to be Russia.

"Relations with Europe and the United States cannot give Armenia what
it gets from relations with Russia," Sergei Markedonov, a Russian
political analyst with the Centre for Strategic and International
Studies, said in an interview with the 1in.am web site. "It's only
thanks to relations with Russia that Armenia is able to maintain
parity in the arms race with Azerbaijan, which possesses oil and gas
reserves. Europe and the United States don't offer Armenia that
possibility."

Aram Sargsyan, the last leader of Soviet Armenia and now head of the
small Democratic Party, said national security was by far the most
important issue, so that the partnership with Russia would always
trump any other.

"Armenia has signed a strategic partnership deal with Russia and
joined the Collective Security Treaty Organisation, which includes an
obligation to defend our country's borders. The United States and the
European Union have not undertaken such an obligation," he said. "And
that's the key issue for us, as we border on Azerbaijan on the one
side, while on the other there's Turkey, which has kept its frontier
closed for the last 20 years and refuses to recognise the Armenian
genocide of 1915."

Artak Zakaryan, chairman of parliament's foreign affairs committee and
a member of the ruling Republican Party, denied that Moscow was
putting any pressure on Armenia to join the Eurasian Union. Instead,
he told IWPR, that the government wanted to develop a "multi-vector"
foreign policy.

"We are of course closely monitoring the development of the Eurasian
Union situation. But it's too early to draw any firm conclusions or to
set ourselves any goal," Zakaryan told IWPR. "Armenia has not taken a
decision to enter the Eurasian Union. Yerevan is only looking into the
possibility of joining at the moment."

HOUSE PANEL APPROVES DEEP CUTS ON AID TO ARMENIA, NKR

http://asbarez.com/111814/house-panel-approves-deep-cuts-on-aid-to-armenia-nkr/

Monday, July 22nd, 2013

ANCA Government Affairs Director Kate Nahapetian with the dedicated
staff of HALO Trust discussing demining efforts in Nagorno Karabakh,
and how U.S. aid cuts will affect their work.

Senate Subcommittee Set to Consider its Version of Bill on Tuesday,
July 23rd

WASHINGTON-The U.S. House State-Foreign Operations Subcommittee has
proposed a significant reduction in foreign aid spending for Fiscal
Year 2014, approving a measure, on Monday, that would cut nearly 20%
from both last year's figures and the Obama Administration's budget
request, reported the Armenian National Committee of America (ANCA).

While specific country levels - including allocations for Armenia
and Nagorno Karabakh - have not yet been made public, sources report
that across-the-board cuts are foreseen on most accounts, with some
multilateral programs expected to be cut by up to 60%.

"With Congress considering unprecedented cuts in foreign aid spending,
legislators in the House and Senate need to hear from their Armenian
American constituents about the vital role that our aid programs to
Armenia and Karabakh play in advancing U.S. interests in a strategic
region," said ANCA Executive Director Aram Hamparian. "If you haven't
called your legislators, call them now. If you've already called,
call them again. Make sure they know where you stand."

Following up on today's subcommittee action, the full House
Appropriations Committee will review the foreign aid bill as early as
next Wednesday, July 24th. A parallel process on the Senate side will
begin on Tuesday, July 23rd, with the Senate State-Foreign Operations
Subcommittee taking up its version of the measure.

Armenian Americans across the U.S. continue to contact Senate and
House appropriators to advocate for a broad range of Armenian American
concerns including:

- At least $5 million in U.S. assistance to Nagorno Karabakh - At
least $50 million in U.S. assistance to Armenia - At least 10% of
U.S. assistance to Georgia to be earmarked for job creation programs
in the Samtskhe-Javakheti region of that country.

- Funds for humanitarian and resettlement assistance specifically
targeted to Armenian and other Christian populations, as well
as other minority communities affected by the recent unrest in the
Middle East.

- Language strengthening Section 907 restrictions on U.S. aid to
Azerbaijan.

- Removal of barriers to contact and communication with representatives
of the Nagorno Karabakh Republic.

- Language calling for the participation of Nagorno Karabakh leaders
in the OSCE Minsk Group negotiations

Halo Trust shared a heart-wrenching photo of 12-year-old Karen
Mirzoyan, who is among the latest victims maimed by a landmine which
exploded in his backyard in Karabakh in April of 2013.

ANCA Government Affairs Director Kate Nahapetian travelled to Armenia
and Karabakh last week as part of a mission that included first-hand
surveys of the benefits of U.S. assistance programs for both Armenia
and Nagorno Karabakh. In addition to meetings with Nagorno Karabakh
Deputy Prime Minister Artur Aghabekyan, Foreign Minister Karen
Mirzoyan and Parliament Speaker Ashot Ghulian, Nahapetian visited
with representatives of the HALO Trust, which receives close to half
of the $2 million annual U.S. assistance package to Karabakh for
demining purposes.

HALO Trust offered shocking statistics about the ongoing maiming of
civilians, including children, due to the landmines and explosive
remnants in Karabakh, noting that the injury rate is ahead of even
Afghanistan on a per capita basis. The ANCA has been advocating for
the expansion of U.S. assistance to Karabakh to the $5 million level
to address these concerns.
