The political scientist Igor Muradyan thinks Russia has to answer the
question why it ignores the rights of Armenians of Karabakh.
The Russian Foreign Ministry declared hastily that the elections in
NKR mean nothing to Moscow which, in fact, was not something new in
Russian politics. But this time a new fact has motivated such an
unprecedented statement.
Some discourse is underway in the world on the recognition of
independence of Nagorno Karabakh, and it must worry Russia which
thereby demonstrated its bid for the continuation of the Karabakh
conflict. This statement was a warning to all those states which are
ready to recognize the independence of Nagorno Karabakh, according to
different interests and positions.
During the past two decades, the leading states have agreed to
inadmissibility of the recognition of NKR, and even the elections in
the NKR. However, the ongoing period differs only in the formal
combination of opinions and views of the United States, Russia and
France. It is clear that for the U.S., the recognition of new states
is an element of its strategy, France, at the same time, has a great
opportunity to push this issue through the `swamp' of the European
institutions.
As to Russia, the recognition of Abkhazia and Ossetia proved a
nightmare for the Russian elite, which, apparently, will remain the
`respectable exotics' of the Russian politics.
As a military and political partner to Armenia, Russia causes
historical damage to it and could compensate it, of course, by supply
of arms. Non-recognition of NKR, including its elections, as well as
reiterations in brutal phrases about `territorial integrity' mean
nothing but a call for genocidal acts. Meanwhile, we are talking about
military partnership.
Hence, there is reason to demand from Russia explanations on how
further ignorance of the rights of Armenians of Karabakh will
influence regional security. In this relation, it would be good to
state the following: Russia took a bad care of not only controlling
but also subjugating the Armenian political scientists, or I'd rather
say those scribblers who refer to themselves so. It was a key factor
in the absence of a genuine discourse on the role and position of
Russia regarding the Karabakh problem.
