It seems that new proposals are expected in the Karabakh issue
settlement. It is not clear yet where these proposals will come
from and whether they will become regular unrealized principles,
but Armenia is already getting ready for them.
The first was Vartan Oskanian's statement who suddenly proposed to
sign an agreement with Karabakh on security guarantees. He noted that
much has changed in the region so, it is necessary to make it clear to
Azerbaijan that Armenia is ready to recognize Karabakh's independence.
A similar statement was issued by the ARF Dashnaktsutyun, which
appealed to sign a military agreement between Armenia and NKR. True,
in case ARFD would not mind if Armenia recognized the NKR, Vartan
Oskanian still proposes not to do that step.
As we know, the meeting of the Armenian and Azerbaijani foreign
minister is close. What can the mediators propose?
The OSCE Secretary General Lamberto Zaner said his organization has
achieved progress in the Transnistrian settlement, but said worried
with the Karabakh issue.
Strange events are happening in the Transnistrian issue settlement
process. The European Union is hinting to Moldova that it may open
membership prospects to the latter if it solves the Transnistrian
issue. Russia is actively pulling Transnistria to the Eurasian Union.
Apparently, Russia is ready to recognize Transnistria with this
precondition.
A similar precondition is not ruled out to be put forward to Karabakh:
if Armenia joins the Union, let Karabakh do it too.
Most likely, the U.S. and France will try to hold Armenia back
from this step. They will try to convince Armenia not to allow
Karabakh integrate into the Eurasian project, at least because the
NKR recognition by Russia even if Karabakh joins the Eurasian Union,
will means resumption of hostilities. Perhaps, this is the reason why
Vartan Oskanian appeals to sign a military agreement with Karabakh. At
the same time, neither Serzh Sargsyan nor Vartan Oskanian use the
best weapon against Russia, Azerbaijan and the others- recognition
of the NKR independence which would immediately solve all the issues.
