Last week the president of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliev, acting at the
expanded session of the government, has brought down criticism
squall to Armenia. Thus the Azerbaijan president did not hesitate in
expressions and resorted to the lexicon, not beseeming to the head
of the state, having accused Armenia in "the artful, hypocritical
and false policy". At acquaintance to Aliev's speech did not leave
sensation, that he was captured by hysterics and was not capable to
control himself. What could become the reason of so nervous reaction
of the president of Azerbaijan? It is impossible to exclude, that
in a certain measure the similar behaviour of Baku was the result
of non invitation of Ilhama Aliev on nuclear safety summit which
was carried out in Washington on April 12-13. While the president
of Armenia went to the summit, that is already the Azerbaijan party
considers as infringement of parity and abasement of his dignity.
Moreover, a number of experts expressed opinion, that Aliev had not
been invited to Washington not to stir to Armenian-Turkish dialogue.
Differently, the American side, true to the position declared before,
that would like to leave the process of the Karabakh settlement
behind brackets of normalization of Armenian-Turkish relations,
not coordinating them, against what Baku acts furiously.
Quite probably, that only this fact is already enough to the Azerbaijan
president to suspect "plot" against Azerbaijan behind the back of which
as it seems to him, intrigues trudge, and to give vent to the emotions.
Indirectly it is also proved by Aliev's statement sounded on the same
session of the government: "How much is true today, having laid aside
the Nagorno-Karabakh, to solve other questions of the region? It is
absolutely wrong, it is a position contradicting national interests
of Azerbaijan". Then passing from back about well-known to us
"state-invader" upon which pressure should be put in negotiations
concerning the Nagorno-Karabakh, about "the greatest constructability"
of Azerbaijan to the passage consisted of azeri theses. And in the end
and at all a desperately-hysterical cry: "Why just the Turkish-Armenian
border should be opened that Armenia as if receives breath? We see
attempts to deduce Armenia from this difficult situation". But,
apparently, Azerbaijan has appeared itself in a difficult situation.
Recently Baku even more often began to speak about the mistrust to the
USA as to the objective intermediary in the course of the Karabakh
settlement. Probably, it is explained also by the circumstance
that just Washington, trying to rescue Armenian-Turkish reports,
intensifies consultations of Yerevan and Ankara, disregarding "national
interests" of Azerbaijan. So, the head of public-political department
of administration of Azerbaijan president Ali Hassanov has directly
declared to journalists in Baku: "If the USA continuous henceforth
to be not objective further in the Karabakh question, Azerbaijan can
reconsider relations of strategic partnership with America". He has
accused Washington of frank support of Armenia, that, in his opinion,
does not correspond to the mission of the United States as co-chairman
of the Minsk group of OSCE, and has expressed... against presence
of the USA in this group. Azerbaijan has started again its favourite
methods of blackmail, having declared that it reconsiders the power
projects which were provided to be realised together with the USA
for what it already undertakes alternative measures. As Hassanov
has told, Azerbaijan has suspended steps directed to the maintenance
of power interests of the USA. For greater persuasiveness Baku has
threatened to suspend also negotiations on Nagorno-Karabakh if they
do not give any result, and to search for alternative ways of the
resolution of the conflict. What result is waited from negotiations
by the fan of alternatives- Baku, it's not difficult to guess. Baku
still continues to create illusions that Nagorno-Karabakh as it has
already occurred once in the beginning of the last century, will be
given to it. For a substantiation of the illegal claims it still
perverts an essence both the Karabakh conflict, and international
law, confirming about unacceptability for itself any mechanisms,
"capable ever to separate Nagorno-Karabakh from Azerbaijan". Attempts
of Azerbaijan to subject to audit international law and to make use of
own interests are doomed to a failure. As there is no such principle
of international law which would cause realization of the right of
the people on self-determination by desire or unwillingness of this or
that state and would limit the granted right to territorial frameworks
of this state. Azerbaijan, certainly, knows it, from here and that
hysterics which has captured even its president. From here and those
sweeping charges to Armenia, the Minsk group of OSCE, the USA, and
all international community in unwillingness to settle the conflict
according to scenario pleasant to Azerbaijan, that is to indulge the
valid aggressor in its unreasonable ambitions and appetites. And if
Baku so likes to talk profusely about alternatives, it is necessary
to remind it once again - there is no the alternative of independence
of the NKR. And people of the Nagorno-Karabakh realized the right
most advantageously.
