Regnum Analytical Agency which is a handy tool of the Russian policy
has published a strange interview with a certain Gayaneh Novikova
who is introduced as the head of the Center for Strategic Analysis
(Yerevan, Armenia), an invited researcher of Davis Center for Russian
and Eurasian Studies, Harvard University, Cambridge, Massachusetts.
In Yerevan Gayaneh Novikova is known as a successful receiver of
foreign grants and a political scientist at the level of a village
librarian. However, her linkage with Harvard University under any
sign is a convenient circumstance to hold an interview - "The crawling
process of recognition of Nagorno-Karabakh and elections in Armenia"
- and apparently this is what interested Regnum.
This U.S.-Yerevan political scientist says the recognition of NKR is
a foolish idea and is not supported by anyone in Armenia. Why does
this idea appeal to Regnum when its head Modest Kolerov has introduced
himself as a keen supporter of the recognition of NKR?
First of all, the name of a U.S.-Yerevan political scientist is highly
important as a representative of the position of the United States
with a Yerevan accent. In other words, one can indirectly suppose
that the United States is against the recognition of NKR.
Second, it is necessary to detract attention from Russia's real
position for whom the recognition is absolutely unacceptable.
In fact, Russia views Karabakh as something temporary which has no
right to lasting existence in political geography. Vast circumstances
of blunt betrayal of Russian policy are related to Nagorno-Karabakh,
including punitive military campaigns, repression, lack of a hint
to recognize NKR and finally large-scale arms supply to Azerbaijan
which describes the Russian political and regional face. But the
most important thing that embarrasses Russia is the emergence of
the Karabakh movement and Nagorno-Karabakh Republic as something
unacceptable, contradicting Russian interests because it happened in
spite of Russia.
No doubt, in regard to the Budapest act Russia attentively followed
Armenia's "feeble efforts" to leave the talks and recognize the
independence of NKR. The recognition of the second Armenian state is
the beginning of the end of Russia's military and political presence in
the South Caucasus, at least in accordance with the Russian "strategic"
thought, mostly formed under the influence of possible phobias.
The Armenian political scientists, with rare exceptions, are
empirical commentators who are against the recognition of NKR
because it contradicts the thinking and perception of their masters
and sponsors on their interests. It is not clear what the meaning
of opinion and position of political analyst is who gets a salary
from the Russian embassy. Nevertheless, this and a lot more happens
degrading our country.
In fact, there is a fifth column in Armenia which is a group of people
who introduce themselves as political scientists, resemble homeless
dogs without names and guaranteed piece of bread. Some, homeless dogs
calling themselves political scientists are the last partners of
Russia in Armenia if we take into consideration that the so-called
oligarchs have already started escaping from under the Russian
roof. The Americans and Russians have already refused the services
of the Armenian experts. Only the Russian miserable feeder is left.
