The Azerbaijanis cling to cliches which they think are rather
convincing, such as "1 million refugees, 20% of territory", and so on.
There is another parrot "argument", namely Armenia is not an
independent state. It should be noted that in the modern world the
societies with complexes are obsessed with this issue of independence.
Apparently, the Azerbaijanis who remind of the independence of
Armenia so often are trying to convince themselves that their own
state is rather independent. Is it impossible to take account of the
fact that despite such strong support from outside to Azerbaijan's
"territorial integrity" it is unable to return under its control the
province of Karabakh?
In addition, Russia has been rather interested and consistent in
returning Karabakh to Azerbaijan in the past few years, the country
on which Armenia was thought to depend. In the past three years,
Russia put on the table its policy on regional energy infrastructures
and set to convince Armenia of the need for concessions. As a result,
the Russian political actors appeared in a funny and prejudicial state,
being unable to promote the interests of Russia.
The great powers finally changed their stance preferring to benefit
from the situation which they used to consider as dangerous for the
region and their interests. Moreover, each political figure of a great
power, starting from M. Gorbachev, tried first of all to take care
of their own reputation which would be damaged by failure of their
initiative regarding Karabakh.
And now Azerbaijan is trying to address its destiny and protect its own
interests ruling out all the folkloric attempts of external character
and protects its interests in accordance with the interests of the
United States, not Turkey, because only the Americans are able to
guarantee its security.
It should be understood that Russia has to accept everything that
Armenia plans for the Western direction, and this is the condition
lying at the heart of the Armenian and Russian relations. Azerbaijan
is an interim state and is unable to stand external resistance for a
long time. Now the division of Azerbaijan is again on the agenda. This
is the topic of the debate rather than empty talks about independence.
