It's not ruled out that in case of a new war, the international
community will press on Armenia in order to rescue Baku, to be more
precise, the oil and gas pipelines.
Niyazi Niyazov, the dean of the international relations faculty of
Saint Petersburg State University, said Baku doesn't exclude resumption
of hostilities in Nagorno Karabakh.
"If a new war starts, the UN may urge Baku to cease military operations
and return to the bargaining table. In this very case, Azerbaijan
will have a possibility to ignore this demand and compel the UN to
renounce the policy of double standards," Niyazov said.
Unfortunately, Niyazov said nothing new. There is an impression that
Baku is just preparing the international community for a new war.
Azerbaijan is echoed by well-known expert Thomas de Waal saying that
Azerbaijan can't waste 10-15 more years on talks.
It's not hard to understand the meaning of these words. However,
Armenia is not likely to sit idle and hope for the assistance of
the international community, which did not stir a finger during the
massacre of Armenian population in Azerbaijan and during the demolition
of Armenian monuments in Nakhijevan. Furthermore, the international
community seems not to notice the armament race and unprecedented
boost of defense budget in Azerbaijan.
It's not ruled out that in case of a new war, the international
community will press on Armenia in order to rescue Baku, to be more
precise, the oil and gas pipelines.
These pipelines, but not the territorial integrity of an obscure
Azerbaijan which appeared on the map with a wave of Stalin's hand,
do matter.
It's worth recollecting the words of late Ayatollah Khomeini, who said:
"There is no country called Azerbaijan. There is Republic Baku."
