The deal on the referendum in Scotland has been agreed between the
governments of England and Scotland. Prime Minister Cameron, actually,
proved more `tolerant' than his Spanish counterpart who banned a
similar referendum in Catalonia. But, perhaps, Cameron is sure that
the greater part of the Scottish people will not vote for
independence, while Rajoy knows that the people of Catalonia will vote
for independence for sure.
The elections in Belgium on Sunday also revealed separatist moods. The
representative of Flanders won the elections, which also could easily
separate from French-speaking Wallonia and gain independence.
These processes prove that globalization and even the comfortable
European Union cannot stop natural secularization which takes place
according to certain rules. Gumilev called the force pushing masses of
people to form ethnic groups, ensure self-defense and expansion
passionarity, and could not find its source, pointing to the sky.
So what pushes people belonging to the same ethnicity to stay
together, to marry each other, to save their language and culture?
What makes Armenians living in Turkey pretend to be Muslim, to wear
Kurdish clothing outside and pray the Armenian God at home?
Separatism in Europe should make first of all the European officials
think, who are trying hard to `reconcile' Armenians and Turks of
Azerbaijan and Turkey. Closed borders are not acceptable in the 21st
century but sometimes only closed borders maintain the passionarity of
aggressive ethnic groups, especially if other people do not realize
the danger coming from this energy.
