Medjlis (Azerbaijani parliament), political scientist.
What can you say about the actions of several Russian State Duma
Deputies who visited elections in the Armenian-occupied lands of the
unrecognized so-called "Nagorno Karabakh Republic"?
This is an erroneous policy contradicting to the official position
of Russia that recognizes the territorial integrity of Azerbaijan
and does not recognize the separatist self-formation called "Nagorno
Karabakh". This position of a group of Russian State Duma that decided
to take part in a show called "parliamentary elections in 'NKR'"
is harmful in terms of the national interests of Russia as it often
sounds appeals for separatism in which the supporters of separation
of Russia have repeatedly committed terror acts. Now let's imagine a
situation when a separatism self-formation within Russia decides to
hold "elections". Which will be the reaction of official Moscow if
the deputies of the parliament or any other country decide to attend
this show? Naturally, it will be negative. However, in a moment
when Russia declares its official position on this issue, it can be
recalled that its own deputies had visited the elections organized by
the separatists. In other words, a group of deputies in the Russian
State Duma is weakening the argumentation basis of Russia, which is
the direct neglect of the national interests of a state. In addition,
this group of deputies naturally relies on its own interests, its own
understanding of culture and respect for justice and international
law and serves the powers that are not interested in the resolution
of the Karabakh conflict but interested in existence of the atmosphere
of hatred between the two neighbor peoples.
Do you think these deputies that demonstrate their disrespect toward
the official position of Russia which recognizes the territorial
integrity will be brought to responsibility in Russia?
Considering the fact that a deputy is a person who is free in
visiting any points, it is difficult to expect the punishment of
those Russian parliamentarians who have visited the theatrical show
called "elections of Karabakh separatists". They have not spoken on
behalf of the Russian state which has already voiced its position
on this issue stating the recognition of the territorial integrity
of Azerbaijan and nonrecognition of independence of the so-called
"NKR". Yes, the discussed deputies are representatives of definite
circles in Russia but these circles and not dominating in this country.
If exactly, what is behind the repeatedly demonstrated open
pro-Armenian position of such State Duma deputy as Mr.Konstantin
Zatulin?
We have no exact information about the sources of financing Konstantin
Zatulin. But on the other hand, his behavior shows that he is an open
supporter of Karabakh separatists and a person for which a personal
benefit is more important than the state interests which brings some
ideas considering the grafting of different political figures by
Armenians. In addition, he seems to be jealous about the "laurels"
of another Russian deputy-Vladimir Zhirinovski who has gained a fame
of a political jester. And it should be admitted that Zatulin can
claim for being called the same political clown in policy as the
leader of the Liberal Democratic Party of Russia.
