For already one year and a half Azerbaijan has been building up its
policy on the lack of will, weakness and uncertainty of the authorities
of Armenia. During all this time, different presidents of Armenia
have tried to build up their style and priorities on foreign policy
but they have always come up with something meaningless and archaic,
oriented mostly to personal or group welfare.
In this sense, the foreign policy of Armenia is characterized by
continuity. And if this feature means stability and order for many
countries, for Armenia with its problems, continuity is nothing but a
deep marsh. Independent Armenia exists for already twenty years and
it is impossible to miss the precious historic opportunity. Armenia
needs a government which will build confidence not only in government
but also state and nation. Such an approach allows understanding
how the country receives foreign investments and joins military and
political blocs.
Now, because of the "Budapest foul act" the political leadership of
Armenia is sending signals on its intention to use the situation and
finally break away from the web which has caught the Armenian people
in the result of completely foreign interests.
The rules set within the OSCE Minsk Group had nothing to do with
prevention of war and ensuring of political foreign political relations
with Armenia. The National Assembly will hold an extraordinary
meeting on September 5 and if no one succeeds to persuade the
Armenian leadership to refrain from statements, we may hope for a
sooner recognition of Karabakh's sovereignty than we may presume.
The Minsk Group has already announced that despite humiliation and
rough violation of Armenia's rights the latter needs to continue
the negotiations. Apparently, for the remaining two days, foreign
pressure on Armenia will grow to keep it from radical steps. The
political parties, politicians and authors suddenly disappeared,
preferring to be "laughed" at. It would be good if the real face of
the Armenian current "politicians" and their henchmen is demonstrated.
The time has come for a serious decision oriented to the future of the
country with the prospect of development as a sovereign country. Along
with more or less true assessments, streamline wording comes, such
as "necessity to suspend negotiations until the jerk returns to
Budapest" which is an attempt to deceive themselves. The task needs
to be different. The Karabakh issue should stop being a matter of
discussion. So, Armenia will become more acceptable for the partners
which have been using this situation so far for their interests.
Everyone will be forced to take into account the new reality.
If the political leadership of Armenia is tempted by "stroking its
head", hopes for the future of the state will be gone forever. This
understanding is gradually coming to not only political circles but
also the entire society. In this case, threats and risks are minimal
but they will not be always. There will be a time when Armenia will
not be able to take sovereign decisions at all. What can a historical
loser achieve?
