New Time paper of Yerevan, being afraid to be preceded by someone
else to pledge loyalty to Russia and the Minsk Group, decided to make
a long statement with pretensions to analyze, referring to Regnum
agency as the leading ally and advocate of the Minsk Group.
The Russian Regnum agency thinks what is happening (no matter
how illogical it may seem) has a rational explanation. Having the
extradition and publicly pardoning of the killer done, the Azerbaijani
president achieved what he had been long striving for - suspension
of the negotiations within the Minsk Group".
The actual collapse of the format of the Minsk group is one of the
most important conditions for the realization of the true goal to
which Baku is headed: to end the status quo in the Karabakh conflict
zone. According to Russian experts, the recent statement by the U.S.
State Dept. about lack of confidence in Washington "whether further
events within the peace settlement of the Karabakh issue should be
organized" fits this line perfectly.
Getting acquainted with the whole published material, the impression is
that it is a "Manifesto of Yerevan inhabitants and petty bourgeoisie"
which contains the pledge of loyalty not only and not mainly to the
Minsk group but also and particularly to Russia. In short, "it's not
the moment" and the usual Yerevan logic engulfing whatever is called
"moderate patriotism within the Constitution" with capitulantism. It
is the right moment to build a monument to the Minsk Group listing
all the representatives of the three powers, not only in Yerevan but
also in Stepanakert. It's also possible to create a museum of the
Minsk Group, and make mention of it in the Constitution. The logic of
"it is not the moment" has always been there also before the start of
the Karabakh movement in 1988, and whenever it was necessary to make
decisions. Finally, the Armenian community came together after the
noisy street and political battles, under the ideological and political
leadership of the Minsk group. It would not be this bad if all kind
of insinuations were continued, I mean, what's next? Let's assume we
keep the Minsk group. So what? Will this prevent the resumption of
hostilities? Will this lead to the recognition of NKR?
Who gets stronger or weaker in the result of the Minsk group
existence? Will this ensure foreign support for different political
groups? Will this make it possible to deceive the time?
It is interesting whether they will remember the names and the
addresses of all sympathizers of the Minsk group or they will forget
as usual. When the state and the people do everything to avoid the war,
it will surely come, but will it be possible to avoid catastrophe?
