`Zerkalo': Moscow to Intend to Turn Armenia to Russian Enclave
08.02.2008
At least political scientist Mubariz Ahmadoglu thinks so
`Armenians are more fearing Azerbaijanis than Turks. Actually while
discussing the issue of `genocide of Armenians' at US Congress
Azerbaijanis adhere more active position than Turks. It makes
Armenians almost furious'. This statement was made by the head of the
Center on political innovations and technologies, Mubariz Ahmadoglu,
at annual briefing dedicated to analysis of events of the passed
month in South Caucasus and in the world.
Accordingly to tradition introduced by him political scientist drew
attention to neighbors, situation of which attracts more and more
attention on the eve of presidential election. Situation in Armenia
is aggravating with the speed of light. `You won't believe but all
going on there remind African countries where everything can be
expected. Thus, most recently Ter-Petrosyan blocked the road of
presidential cortege of Kocharyan. Can you image it in any other
country? I have never met it myself but in the countries of far
Africa', underlined M. Ahmadoglu.
Continuing the issue of elections in Armenia M. Ahmadoglu added that
Ter-Petrosyan is more acceptable for Armenia and for neighbor
countries. Ter-Petrosyan is favorable for Russia, however, Kremlin
prefers to see Serg Sarkisyan in the presidential chair, he holds.
`It is understandable as Russian politicians stake on Sarkisyan
hoping to turn Armenia to the likeness of Kaliningrad enclave',
stressed M. Ahmadoglu.
Is this stake invented by Russia? Answering this question M.
Ahmadoglu said: `In case Ter-Petrosyan wins election, he promises to
open railway communications with Azerbaijan. Actually it can be
profitable for Russia as opening of railways would serve for evident
closeness of region and north power'. Accordingly to him during the
time of Soviet period 85% of products for South Caucasus were
transported through this route. Given circumstance would serve as
cement sticking together Caucasus and Russia. But apparently Kremlin
can't get free from imperial intentions.
Accordingly to M. Ahmadoglu Moscow is blind not only with regards to
future president of Armenia, but it ignores what Armenians do on
south borders. `Armenians of Krasnodar recently have become more
active up to applying to European structures for any reason', noted
political scientist. Accordingly to him, Russia attaches no
importance to it but it would be good to do so `as Armenians want to
split North Caucasus'. He added that unfortunately Russia takes such
warnings as anti-Armenian statements. `Following orders of the States
Armenians do their best to destroy North Caucasus and Russia doesn't
want to understand it. When we speak about it Russia takes it as
anti-Armenian statements coming from Azerbaijan', said he.
Analyzing situation on North Caucasus from where as political
scientist believes every day there come hot news reminding military
chronics M. Ahmadoglu continued making not comforting conclusions.
Particularly, he warned that in case situation in this part of Russia
doesn't change for better then the threat of North Caucasian
disorders will penetrate South Caucasus. `Russia can't control
situation in North Caucasus any more. Stability in our region any
time can be shaken', said he.
Judging by statements of Mr. Ahmadoglu, it turns to be that Russia
and Armenia are just bitter enemies. Following M. Ahmadoglu version
Russia wants to turn Armenia even not to `advanced post' but to
Russian enclave in South Caucasus. And Armenia in turn is striving
for destabilizing situation in North Caucasus that is to break down
Russia. At the same time both states are actively cooperating not
only as CIS member-states but also within the frames of Treaty on
Collective Security that is they are military and political allies.
As party to Treaty on Collective Security Armenia unlike Azerbaijan
has chance to acquire weapons following Russian prices, but we pay
for Russian weapons following world prices.
These countries are so hostile that Russia is going to help to
construct the second atom station in Armenia. And due to this
cooperation Armenia declines profitable proposal of EU. `EU doesn't
finance projects realized by two countries and for this reason it
won't finance construction of atom station as Armenia is going to
construct new station jointly with Russia', declared EU commissar on
foreign relation and European policy of neighborhood, Benita
Ferrero-Valdner, in Yerevan. She also underscored that Metsamor atom
station is old enough and should be closed. `We allotted 30 mln Euro
for maintenance of security of station however it is necessary to
close it', she underscored. Such are hostile relations between
Armenia and Russia.
And comparing Armenia with Africa in connection with blocking the
road of presidential cortege of Robert Kocharyan, respected political
scientist just went too far. We don't know how often it happens in
Africa but most recently anti-globalists blocked all roads leading to
the venue of meeting of president to break summit of G-8 in civilized
Europe. And as a consequence presidents had to get the venue with the
help of water means.
Authors highly value the role and merits of Mr. Ahmadoglu in
information war against Armenia. However we would like him to be more
cautious while selecting facts and arguments the number of which is
large enough...
