Why did the “governor” of Russia come to Karabakh? |
Appointed “state minister” in the separatist regime in Karabakh (this post is in the illegal separatist government of Karabakh Prime Minister Russian billionaire Ruben Vardanyan recently gave an extensive interview to the Russian newspaper “Kommersant”.
In his interview, Vardanyan was anti-Azerbaijan Unlike his predecessor, Artak Beglaryan, who made statements and even abused them, he avoids such statements. In his words military there is no showing of revanchism intent.
The main focus of the new leader of the separatists Karabakh of Armenians social– aimed at economic security.
“…I don’t want to reveal the action program step by step… it is very important that these decisions are balanced and not hasty and thoughtless. It is very important not to disturb the existing balance in society, not to harm it. The main task is that the person living in “Artsakh” (that’s how Armenians call Karabakh – ed.) feels protected, and gives good care to his children. education be able to give, normal medical to receive services, to be provided with a job and to have the opportunity to realize their wishes”, said Vardanyan.
He also chose very cautious expressions in terms of relations with Azerbaijan:
“…My offer not together that I do, but the coexistence formula means that we understand and accept that we are in the neighborhood of people with whom we have very difficult, complicated relationships. However, we must find such strength and will in ourselves that, at a time when there is still a very serious negativity and danger from the neighbor, accumulated over the years, we learn to build a relationship with them so that they understand that it is more profitable to live together than to try to destroy us.” .
Only one issue is unambiguously mentioned in his statements – Karabakh When talking about the fate of Armenians, their opinion should be taken into account:
“It seems to me that there is only one issue – the future of “Artsakh”, the future of the people living in this land, must be decided and determined with their participation. And in this sense, any ongoing negotiations cannot take place without “Artsakh”… Armenia The leadership of the Republic does not have a mandate to decide how they will live for “Artsakh”.
Until the Vardanyan problem is fully resolved Russia considers it necessary for peacekeepers to stay in Karabakh.
As is known, the president I. Aliyev said that the negotiations on “the status of Nagorno-Karabakh” were closed as a result of the war. The interview ends with an answer to a question related to this.
Vardanyan says that “even if the status is not fully defined according to international law, Azerbaijan management and Azerbaijan people to preserve the status quo (the status quo is that “Artsakh” in the form seen by the leadership of Azerbaijan Azerbaijan will not be included) should be unambiguously understood and accepted”.
How can this be accepted? An attempt to put forward the topics that the renewed leadership of “DQR” agreed to discuss with Azerbaijan? Any signal to the official Baku? Does Vardanyan really believe that there is still some possibility to convince the Azerbaijani leadership to discuss the status of Nagorno-Karabakh? Is there any basis for this?
Israeli publicist Avigdor Eskin (Jerusalem) shared his views on the situation with Press Club:
– Ruben Vardanyan’s arrival in Karabakh and taking the post of “head of the government” of this region should be considered in the context of Moscow’s desire to strengthen its position in the region. The Kremlin acts here as a player independent of Aliyev and Pashinyan.
This does not mean that Russia It is preparing to defend the autonomy of Karabakh in the form it is thought of in Yerevan. Moscow is strengthening its positions and expanding its influence. And then there is the subject of bargaining and compromise. Kremlin Azerbaijan and Turkey will go towards agreement with, at the same time to expand its influence Karabakh he will hold his card.
