Baku, Azerbaijan - Sometimes small things start with the smallest of
events. Sometimes that's pretty cool, the way a thing can evolve from a
small kernel of an idea or an event and eventually unfurl itself into
something dynamic. When that thing it unfurls into is war, however,
it's not quite as cool.
That is exactly what might be happening right now between Armenia and
Azerbaijan. The small kernel in that particular case is the release
of Azerbaijani Ramil Safarov who was convicted in 2004 of killing
an Armenian police officer. Last week, Hungary released Safarov to
Azerbaijan which had said it would keep him in prison but did not.
That forced Armenia to suspend political ties with Hungary and create
a real political mess.
That mess is apparently just start to get worse and worse, so much so
that the NATO secretary-general. Anders Fogh Rasmussen, has started
to openly express concerns about stability in the region that really
hasn't been particularly stable at any time. Hungary meanwhile has
been kind of indifferent to the whole thing owing in part to the fact
that they had actually forgotten that Armenia was even a country
until relations were suspended and because they just don't really
need to care.
"The pardon damages trust and doesn't contribute to the peace process.
Azerbaijan's shameful act seriously endangers the security of the
entire south Caucasus," said Fogh Rasmussen said during a visit to
Armenia which is indeed an actual country.
Fogh Rasmussen is due to visit Azerbaijan on Friday provided he is
allowed in the country after those comments and that war has not
broken out between the two countries.
It's expected that Fogh Rasmussen will say basically the exact opposite
of what he just said while on the other side of the border.
Hungary has not commented because they really don't care.
"It would be a real shame if war were to break out between these two
countries, I guess, yeah let's go with that. A real shame, a tragedy
even on a scale few people can even imagine. That sounds about right
and totally what we would say if these were two countries that actually
mattered," said Scrape TV International analyst Gustav Hander. "I mean
it's not like these countries are going to spark a wider conflict,
some kind of dramatic war that could engulf multiple nations, at
least not ones that matter, unless of course NATO gets involved and
they really shouldn't get involved. The Secretary -General should
probably just keep his mouth shut."
To be fair Safarov did hack the police officer to bits, which is pretty
brutal, but hardly worth going to war over in a civilized country.
"I suppose if this guy was some kind of mad killing machine, some
kind of Armenian assassin that could eventually kill everyone in
the country it would be valid, the war, but he isn't that I don't
think. I would bet that no one like that exists anywhere in the world
but I could be wrong, but probably not," continued Hander. "Of course
these two countries are getting worked up and are risking the deaths
of so many more and that could lead to war whether or not this guy
is a killing machine. That makes sense and shows how little regard
for life they really have, though to be fair Armenians lives clearly
aren't worth as much as other people's otherwise this guy never would
have been released."
When reached for comment Hungarian officials just shrugged which is
really hard to understand over the phone.
