The official representative of the Russian foreign ministry, Alexander
Lukashevich, made a statement on the local elections in NKR.
The mentioning of the position of Russia regarding the settlement of
the conflict is notable. "We reiterate our support to the principles of
territorial integrity, non-use of force, as well as other fundamental
principles and norms of international law," announced Lukashevich,
who is the official representative of the Russian foreign ministry.
It is the same Russia which is Armenia's strategic partner and ally,
the troops of which marchեդ across the Republic Square in the
military parade devoted to the independence of Armenia. The official
representative of the Russian foreign ministry notes the principle
of territorial integrity, generalizing the rest as other fundamental
principles and norms of international law.
Why does the official representative of the Russian foreign ministry
avoid mentioning plainly the principle of self-determination? Is he
afraid of insulting or infuriating Aliyev? Or maybe they don't care
for the Armenians and they think it is sufficient and a great honor
to mention the principles favorable for them in general terms.
On the whole, Russia's attitude is adequate to the behavior of most
Armenians. When the higher, middle and lower-ranking government
tends to beatify every action of Russia and is ready to describe
the opposite as treason, Russia does not need to take account of
the interests of the state with an "elite" full of such readiness,
even if it is all about diplomatic statements.
By the way, it should be noted, especially for different calibers
of personalities and tools of this "elite", that in their official
statements the other co-chair countries of the OSCE Minsk Group do
not hesitate to mention the right to self-determination along with
territorial integrity.
Apparently, on the next anniversary of independence it is necessary to
hold another military parade in the Republic Square and run a Russian
tank brigade across the square besides the Russian border guards. The
Russians may appreciate and recall self-determination.
