Great guest! Amazing credentials! I admit I was pleasantly surprised with an American policy maker interview. I liked "Armenia should not pivot in a single direction". And, I also liked the porcupine policy.
It was very intresting interview especially idea and thought from a person who work for different USA administration. Thank you Mr. Hakopian for this kind of quality program. As some of commenter said it would be very nice for Armenia government to have this kind of advisers.
Israel is smart in that they would've put a man like Edward into their administration to build relationships outside Armenia. It's a shame though that Armenia is more guided by what Moscow wants and it doesn't seem like that attitude has changed in 30 years
Neutrality is one of the basic principles of Switzerland's foreign policy. According to this principle, Switzerland is prohibited from taking part in armed conflicts and joining any military alliances. Switzerland has been officially recognized by the international community as a neutral State since 1815. Why don't we follow this direction?
We have many western educated Armenian political scientists. Armenia does not allow diaspora Armenians especially dual citizenship to be “running the country”.
Very interesting guest, as usual! The ending story is funny, however makes me think how come having such talented and influential people in Soviet era we've lost so much.... Sad, really. Mikoyans made so much for the USSR, but very little for Armenia....
That story at the end is really special. For a moment, they were no longer two officials on opposing sides of a crisis, but two sons of the same great nation, proud of each other's success. In those few seconds, three millennia of shared history made obvious the utter absurdity of the artificial division imposed on them. Where there are Armenians, there is Armenia.
Fantastic interview! We need more great minds like Mr. Djerejian in the Armenian and American governments. Just one question Eric, why do you say Armenia is in Europe? Did you go to geography class in America? 😂 Armenia is in West Asia… and to answer your question, are we to white and Christian for the left and too dark for the right? Yes! Definitely. Absolutely. Thanks for this important and thought provoking show. Love from HayAngeles!
I I think he is wrong armenia should develop great relationship with Europe just be part of Europe at same times Develop a nice relationship with turkey, Russia, Iran Most important adapt, European values, and lives with them And do business with others
Is this diplomat really representative of US. He is acting not in interest of US but like "useful idiots" promoting russian-turkic propaganda about Armenia must be neutral and fo holistic policy. Why are you not giving up your US Citizenship and living in holistic turkey.

Liked the Mikoyan story , whenever two Armenians meet , anywhere , any-pole , anytime , there is always a laughter of pride , and not pride of laughter .. the later superfluous!!
Perhaps Armenians can stop making shyte up about themselves first and foremost. I listened the interview until the interview started his b/s about Armenians being ethnically cleansed as if close to 700,000 Turks have not been ethnically cleansed from Karabag in early 90s.

I forgot to mention I liked what he said about the Kennedy era, "They were statesmen" 👍👍👍
You get as much attention as cognac and apricot, that punch was the best and brutally honest statement I ever heard about Armenia.
Good interview.
This is great! Love that CIVILNet covers diasporan voices, something rare.
It was very intresting interview especially idea and thought from a person who work for different USA administration.

Porcupine policy is the right thing..The man is learned.He is a master.He should be your PM
As usual, wonderful Eric. Thank you so much!
This interview should be included in Civilnet Gold Series
Great interview, Eric.
great interview , well answered questions asked, thank you
The man speaks gospel truth.Its a multipolar world.
Edward Djerejian is 86 years old now (born in 1939), and he looks great.
Best interview and most impressive guest yet.
Hopefully he's there to provide some high level advice as well...
I loved it 😍 thank you 🙏 ❤❤

Can we convence this fellow to be President of PM of Armenia?
He's an American citizen.not constitutional
I would make a provisional exception.
Why?
Ask yourself the question vs. Current EurAsian leadership.
We have many western educated Armenian political scientists. Armenia does not allow diaspora Armenians especially dual citizenship to be “running the country”.
Great guest!
Thank you Erik!
And it made my day - Mikoyan was holding his hand inside cause of gun… 😁
Best interview Eric.It is a man like this you need as the Armenian leader.An open minded man who could play both sides
Mikoyan story was great 👍 😅😂
Thanks for insightful interviews, Eric.
👍👍👍🇦🇲

Erik, thank you very much for great guest! I know him and respect him a lot. It was awesome story at the end:) ...
Loved it

great Interview!
The audio quality of the guest is bad.
Eric's face at 2:31
First cones national ideology strategy without which neither security nor any cooperation is possible.

Develop a nice relationship with turkey,
Russia, Iran
Most important adapt, European values, and lives with them
And do business with others

Use Russia and Use USA the man should be your PM
He's 86. But he obviously is not suffering from dementia. 😉
3+3 is a deathwish
Mikoyan is not Armenian, bolsheviks didn’t believe in nationality.
Thats why Armenians lost. Dashnak and the communist Armenians were not clever and nationalistic enough
@@owlmirror178 there is no nationalistic communist per se, it is against their political views, they fought against any nationalistic movement.
Edward Djerejian is Turkish......With support (like they support israel) of the west and russia Armenia can win from Turkiue.

Mikoyan killed thousands of Armenians just by his signature, he didn’t believe to any national idea he was communist by hearth.

He is a great person. He is founding director of Baker's Institute at Rice University.
