The Israeli Knesset considered the Armenian genocide issue and
delegated the right to further consideration to the commission on
education and culture. Knesset, naturally, didn't recognize the
genocide, though it was stated that the Holocaust survivor Jewish
people can't ignore such a tragedy of another nation. Moreover,
it was stated that the deportation and annihilation of Anatolian
Armenians in the Syrian deserts is an indisputable fact.
The world is actively getting ready for the year 2015, and if Turkey
does not take up relevant steps, not only the U.S. but also Israel
will recognize the Armenian genocide. By then, the Syrian issue may
be resolved, and the Syrian Kurds may unite with their Iraqi fellows
stating about the creation of a Big autonomy. Then, only the Turkish
Kurdistan will lack from the map of the Kurds. The recognition of the
Armenian genocide in 2015 and following territorial claims to Turkey
may help the establishment of the Kurdish state.
Most likely, Turkey understands where the political developments in the
region lead, but it hopes to benefit even from unbeneficial events,
understanding that it will be impossible to stop them. One of the
ways to keep the territories, at least on square and not borders, is
Azerbaijan's rendering into a strong outpost. And we need to suppose
that the main efforts of Turkey in the nearest future will be directed
to ensuring concessions on Karabakh by Armenia in exchange of opening
of the borders.
It is left to Armenia in this process not to yield to the provocations
and intimidation and go on its line, which this time, matches with
the intentions of world centers.
It is noteworthy that the U.S. nominated Richard Morningstar for the
position of the U.S. Ambassador to Azerbaijan, who is just engaged
in separating energy projects from international and conflict issues.
Yesterday, the first hearing on his candidacy was held in the U.S.
Senate, and apparently, the Armenian lobby will not resist to his
appointment. This means that the Ambassador won't lead a policy of
connecting the Armenian-Turkish issue with the Karabakh conflict,
like Mathew Bryza did, but to the contrary, he will try to prove that
the opening of borders for energy projects even without the final
settlement of the conflict, is much more beneficial.
