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.
