"Trump's route" will not work, the South Caucasus will catch fire in three years — Dudakov

The United States is still skeptical about the agreement between Yerevan and Baku, American scholar Malek Dudakov said.

Probably, the United States will be able to control to some extent one of the flows passing through the new corridor in the South Caucasus, but now there is no special resonance about this, Dudakov said on Sputnik Armenia radio.

As for the South Caucasus in the global geopolitical strategy of the United States and the American administration, the mass media component is the basis there, the expert noted. Recently incarcerated in In Washington, the deal between the leaders of Armenia and Azerbaijan Nikol Pashinyan and Ilham Aliyev regarding the "Trump route" is an attempt by the American president to demonstrate how he managed to end the conflict that has lasted for decades in 5 minutes with one "snap of his fingers," Dudakov said.

"It seems to Trump that he has found a wonderful strategy. The tutorial is this — let's promise all the warring countries — Armenia, Azerbaijan — American investments. American PMCs enter the disputed territory as some kind of security guarantors — and that's it, peace and stability are coming," the American expert said.

According to him, this is definitely a short-sighted approach, since it is obvious that there will be no American investments. After a certain time, the region will catch fire again, but it will happen three years later, after Trump, who will score some points in his piggy bank to receive the Nobel Peace Prize, Dudakov is sure.
