Serzh Sargsyan stated he would board the first Yerevan-Stepanakert
flight on May 9 despite the threats by Azerbaijan. More than 1.5
year has passed since his statement. Serzh Sargsyan regularly flies
to Karabakh but by a helicopter. As to the airport of Stepanakert,
it is always looking for an excuse to explain why the first flight
is delayed.
They report regularly about some minor things that need to be completed
for the airport to be ready to handle flights. It is clear that it
is not a matter of minor things and big politics matters here which
makes Serzh Sargsyan fly a helicopter instead of an airplane.
Who made him announce about his flight on May 9?
Perhaps Serzh Sargsyan feels more comfortable on board a helicopter,
since it is more secure than the comfortable airplane which can
meet different surprises. But when you express an intention with a
political and psychological connotation but you never fulfill it,
it starts producing the opposite effect after 1.5 years.
The president's statement on May 9 is the best proof. Later it was
stated that the airport would be ready on May 19 and Serzh Sargsyan
was going to fly. But if he flies at an internationally convenient
moment, his flight loses all its political importance and value.
Anyone can fly when it is convenient, when the rest of the world has
agreed, and when Aliyev is convinced that the airport should work.
On the other hand, Armenia did not even receive the agreement to
get rid of the principles of Madrid when it was convenient - after
Safarov's case. Serzh Sargsyan and Edward Nalbandyan did everything
to convince the world that Armenia will not leave the negotiations,
stating about it several times a day. It seems that these statements
should have been made by Aliyev because he was the author of the
outrageous decision related to Safarov and the international tough
assessments were issued in his address. But the world witnesses the
devaluation of the Armenian political speeches.
The visits of Armenian presidents to Karabakh have stopped being
political, sure if they ever were.
Coal and building apartments for military personnel should have
become internal governance issues a long time ago, while the visits
of the Armenian president should at least involve a statement or an
act of regional importance. Besides, all this has internal focus,
or rather internal governmental and internal clannish. Perhaps, all
this is worth flying Karabakh on board the first airplane but they
should have not announced about it to the whole world.
