The Russian politician Dmitry Rogozin has been included in the
administration in order to make speeches and utter things which nobody else
wants to utter. Everyone understands that he will not be allowed to do a
serious job, only shocking behavior. There are always fools in Moscow. The
Russian political scientist Alexander Doogin once referred to him as `a
badly disguised scoundrel'.
Dima Rogozin has left for Baku, perhaps in order to agree on arms supply.
In fact, this agreement is the business of other people, and Rogozin has
been sent to Baku for the final prospect. This statesman suits best for the
solution of this issue because he can afford (or he has been allowed) to
say everything.
By the way, this is not the first time Rogozin went to Baku. He was there
before for similar goals. However, Moscow hardly hopes for other
perspectives relating to Azerbaijan. The utmost Moscow can expect is
Azerbaijan's `word' not to participate in political and defense
initiatives.
Even though the Russian statesmen announce about strategic relations with
Azerbaijan, the Azerbaijani intelligence (as well as Turkey's and
Georgia's) work against the interests of Russia and not only in terms of
collection of information but also actions.
One way or another, independent from goals, Moscow wants to warn Armenia
about arming Azerbaijan. The Eurasian project which is not in place yet
presupposes certain devices to include countries in a union which will
deprive them of sovereignty or external threat or a lost war or a political
disaster.
Moscow thinks that if Armenia defeats Azerbaijan and occupies other
territories it will appear in such a difficult situation that it will be
have to sacrifice its sovereignty.
Russian companies and political managers intend to boost Russian supply of
arms to Azerbaijan from 57% to 90% for which the Kremlin thinks there are
other industrial resources. In any case, they will need to make money on
their `ally's' blood.
Serzh Sargsyan and Seiran Ohanyan are obviously pursuing integration with
NATO avoiding causes to end relations with Russia. More exactly, it is
possible to convey to Russia the understanding that after years of
searching for ways of establishment of strategic relations with Russia the
Armenian military and political leadership has drawn a conclusion that the
technology of escaping the Russian orbit is tougher than the technology of
accession to NATO.
Apparently, one should know and understand some things not to doubt that
NATO and some of its member states have worked out certain intentions
regarding Armenia. In this situation even Robert Kocharyan, the actor of
old impressions, would play the same game.
Unfortunately, even such informed political leadership as Russia's does not
have an adequate understanding of the Armenian issue of NATO policy. Some
military officials of Armenia were allowed to work with both Russia and
NATO to get rid of apolitical illusions. Now the team has no doubts. The
doubts are about the time of starting war. This problem exists but it can
be resolved.
