Once the foreign minister Edward Nalbandyan said the work of our
diplomats is the top of the iceberg. He implied that the Armenian
diplomats do immense work which is invisible to us to reach today's
results. What is there in place is not evidence to a firm foundation
of the iceberg.
On May 12 the Azerbaijanis hold an event in Berlin to which the
Armenian embassy has not responded yet. Neither did it last year in
Bundestag. The title of the event is Armenian Nationalism and the War
in Nagorno-Karabakh. They have invited the Armenian Vahe Avetyan who
must "apologize for the events in Khodjallu and speak against the
international recognition of the genocide."
The Armenian embassies have no plan or moves intended to lead to the
international recognition of Artsakh. Moreover, the only phrase they
can utter while speaking about Artsakh is "Minsk Group", and they even
try to influence the representations of Artsakh to reject active steps
towards recognition. For instance, in Berlin the NKR representative who
actively worked with the political organizations of Berlin has been
replaced by a student who is limited to holding discussion evenings
for the Armenian Diaspora at the expense of the NKR state budget.
By the way, only the Armenian students studying in Berlin responded
to last year's event, whose letter received the positive response
of Bundestag.
The Armenian ambassadors still lack informative cultural materials
and act like travel agents, using commercial booklets. They can be
referred to as ambassadors with great reservation and they are mainly
appointed to perform the tasks issued by the center, and try not
to spoil relations with their Azerbaijani counterparts. Meanwhile,
adopting new approaches to the Artsakh issue or working towards its
recognition and lobbying might spoil those relations.
Needless to say about national interests, recognition and diplomatic
service. This is the reason why we hear the same answer whenever asked
about their posture or tactics regarding the recognition of Artsakh:
"I don't know, we do not have such a goal."
