Day.Az interview with famous political scientist Rasim Aghayev.
- A terror act occurred in the parliament of Armenia nine years ago
on October 27 of 1999 and it caused death to Armenian Prime Minister
Vazgen Sargsyan, speaker Karen Demirchyan and several other political
figures of this country. Do you think today there is a possibility
of a terrorist act against the leading politicians of this country?
- As is knownб several political figures, political scientists and
journalists of Armenia blamed the working Karabakh clan, represented by
previous and working presidents of Armenia Robert Kocharyan and Serzh
Sargsyan of organization of the terror act in the Armenian parliament.
In other words, considering that the powers of this country are the
organizers of a terror act in the Armenian parliament, it may seem
that new terror acts against the leadership of Armenia are out of
the question as there is no one to commit these acts. But this is an
unfounded outlook, for since the moment of its consolidation as an
ethnic-political powers Armenians have taken terror as a method of
political pressure on their opponents before anyone else did.
And therefore, the one that once used terror as way to attain the
desired political result will become a victim of terror sooner of
later. Therefore, there is no guarantee that those who committed the
terror act in the Armenian parliament will not fall victims of other
Armenian terrorists.
- Which steps of the working powers of Armenia may provoke a terror
act from the side of other powers in this country?
- First of all, I think Serzh Sargsyan will not take the steps, which
may provoke the wide Armenian public to take radical measures against
him. He is aware that if he agrees to return the occupied lands of
Azerbaijan in exchange for the agreement of our country to put off the
status of Nagorno Karabakh, may be enough for the Armenian circles,
having a historical inclination for terror, to terminate the working
president.
- But isn't the working president of Armenia able to attain guarantees
of personal security from the side of the leading world countries
before he launches possible steps aimed at the establishment of peace,
stability and good neighbor relations in the South Caucasus region,
as a goal for which the leading countries of the world strive so much
according to official statements?
- Practice shows that super states do not care much about those,
who served to them at a certain stage after they fulfill the due
work. Therefore, you are right to say that it is vitally important
for Serzh Sargsyan to attain guarantees of his own security in case he
agrees to promote establishment of peace, stability and good neighbor
relations in the South Caucasus region.
Moreover, he, as well as Robert Kocharyan, are casual figures in
politics and they can be easily replaced. This is how they differ
from Levon Ter-Petrosyan. So, it can be said that if Serzh Sargsyan
agrees to return the occupied lands to Azerbaijan, Russia will have
to ensure his security.
- What should Azerbaijan do to encourage the Armenian President for
return of the occupied lands of our country?
- Azerbaijan is holding a balanced, competent and effective external
policy.
Azerbaijan must further continue the policy of Armenia's isolation
from all regional projects and agree with the Georgian leadership on
blocking the communication corridor between this country and Armenia.
We must also agree with the Turkish government to avert any
speculations about possible opening of the Armenian-Turkish border
before Armenia liberates the occupied lands of Azerbaijan.
Moreover, we must persuade the leaderships of the leading countries
of Europe, Russia and the United States that peace and stability in
the South Caucasus are impossible without the fair resolution of the
Armenian-Azerbaijani conflict over Nagorno Karabakh. Only these steps
can make the Armenian leadership to realize the current balance of
powers in the region and take real steps to establish peace and good
neighbor relations in our region.
