There is no clear description that would describe Armenia's current foreign policy, the second president of Armenia Robert Kocharyan said in an interview with three TV channels, answering the question how he would describe today's foreign policy, News.am reports.

“To conduct the right foreign policy, we must understand what is happening in the world.  I strongly doubt that the government today correctly assesses the global changes that are taking place in the world today. It is obvious that there are two processes today, one is the formation of a multipolar world, which is a fact today, and the role of powerful regional states in this region is significantly increasing in the process of formation of that multipolar world.  It is obvious that there will be significant competition between Russia and Turkey in this region, and when there is no unipolar, dominant state, then, of course, these factors change. There is another process on which the attention is much less. After the collapse of the Soviet Union, a unipolar world was formed under the leadership of the United States, and then economic globalization was linked to another, in theory, neo-globalism.  Globalization is not only economic, but also the value system is being globalized, civilizational, cultural differences, so to speak, the Hollywoodization of the world, I even use the term - Sorosization of the world. This is not about Soros, it is figurative, it is broader,” he noted.

“Thousands of dollars have been spent on creating a large number of NGOs whose main goal was to advance this thesis on globalization,” he said.

According to Kocharyan, now that trend has changed, and people believe that civilizational and cultural diversity is the strength and value of this planet, for which we must fight.

“Most of today's government came from NGOs that were formed from the second track of that globalization and pursued that policy, and now they are taking the whole country to where everyone is fleeing from now on,” he said.
