    Heydar Cemal: "Like Russia US-Israeli tandem is absolutely not interested in the resolution of the Karabakh conflict"

    10 January 2009 [11:06] - Today.Az



    Today Russia is the main obstacle on the way to the resolution of the
    situation in the South Caucasus, said famous Russian political
    scientist and chairman of the Islamic Committee of Russia Heydar
    Cemal, speaking about the supply of arms to Armenia by Russia free of
    charge.

    He said if not for Moscow the Karabakh conflict could have been
    settled long ago.

    "Russia is an anti-guarantor, owing to which there are still conflicts
    around Georgia, Armenia and Azerbaijan. Armenia is unable to exist
    with the today's population reduced to a million, a political crisis
    in powers and with the weak economy.

    If not for the Russian support to Armenia the issue of existence of
    the Armenian state would be closed. But Moscow benefits from
    preservation and supporting Armenian state in order to put pressure on
    Azerbaijan. South Ossetia and Abkhazia are the same lever of pressure
    on Georgia.

    Baku can not propose an alternative to Moscow. The Kremlin realizes
    that if the Karabakh conflict is settled in Azerbaijan's favor, the
    presence of Russia in the South Caucasus will be questioned, for Baku
    will not need continuation of relations with Moscow. Therefore, Russia
    puts a stake on the preservation of the pre-war state and continuation
    of the policy of occupation of Azerbaijani lands. This is the only way
    for Moscow to preserve "a note in the closing door".

    According to Cemal, as soon as the crisis damages Russia's ability to
    hold an external policy game and support Armenians, the topic of
    Nagorno Karabakh will be closed. It will occur in March, he said.

    "In the near future, the Kremlin will try to preserve its presence in
    the South Caucasus by a stiff game and double standards. In the
    long-term perspective this will lead to Russia's complete withdrawal
    from the Caucasus", said Cemal.

    He noted that in a response to this obviously destabilizing fact in
    the Russian-Azerbaijani relations, Azerbaijan needs to interfere
    actively with the political processes in Russia.

    "We see how active the Armenian lobby in Russia is. Azerbaijan needs
    to penetrate into the Russian media and public policy area.

    Azerbaijan has chosen a union with the US-Israeli tandem against the
    relations with Islamic world. At the same time, the US-Israeli tandem
    is absolutely uninterested in the resolution of the Karabakh conflict
    like Russia. Moscow is a third component of this tandem, concluding
    the triangle and opposition to big Europe. In Russia the empirist
    class is closely bound to Israel, while money are preserved in the
    United States.

    On the whole, Russia is the former great superpower and it is in a
    stable forwarder with the United States. It is impossible to speak
    about Russia's policy notwithstanding the United States.

    If Azerbaijan could have conducted a more balanced policy oriented on
    Europe and the Islamic world and China, the maneuvers could have been
    more effective and tougher pressure could be put on Moscow.

    It is necessary to reject a number of liberal-democratic illusions,
    connected with the liberal pro-American establishment. For this
    purpose it is necessary to foresee the future, as Israel and Russia
    are not long-term factors as subjects of international area. They are
    doomed to be in growing isolation despite their maneuvers, owing to
    the United States.

    And those who stake on the preservation of multi-polarity under the US
    auspices, will sooner or later understand that they have a bad choice.
