    ARMENIA MILITARIZES KARABAKH

    Trend, Azerbaijan

    Azerbaijan, Baku, Feb. 22 / Trend /

    Trend commentator Arzu Naghiyev

    Since November 2012, a number of pro-Armenian websites have been
    disseminating information about the construction of the Suvorov and
    Madatov military school in the occupied village of Vank, Kalbajar
    region of Nagorno-Karabakh. One can say that the flow of articles
    stopped so quickly because of a lack of proper attention to the
    subject. But, during presidential elections in Armenia, this augment
    to Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan's propaganda appeared on the
    agenda again.

    In this regard, it would be appropriate to share certain opinions. It
    is known that no idea is disseminated without a reason and purpose.

    These topics are raised at this time with an ulterior motive,
    namely, during the period of tension in the negotiations for peaceful
    settlement of the Armenian-Azerbaijani Nagorno-Karabakh conflict.

    According to Armenia, the construction of the military school is to
    ensure the security of Nagorno-Karabakh and is inevitable. The school
    will be named in honor of Alexander Suvorov "who has Armenian origins"
    and the legendary Valerian Madatov. Construction will be completed
    in 2014. Legendary general Arkady Ter-Tadevosyan will be a coordinator.

    According to the website "Caucasian Knot", the sponsor of the school's
    construction and the author of the idea is Levon Hayrapetyan. He
    was born in the village of Vank. At present, he is a businessman and
    "Maecenas", chairman of the board of directors of the publishing house
    "Interlocutor". He lives in Russia. It is known that he has joint
    ventures with senior state officials there. Moreover, he sponsored
    one of the pro-Russian presidential candidates of the so-called
    "Nagorno-Karabakh Republic."

    If one looks at a number of instances, one can see that the military
    school is being named in honor of Suvorov to show his "Armenian
    origins". However, one knows that Suvorov's "Armenian origin" is
    Armenian fiction which has never been confirmed.

    As for Madatov, whose nationality is unknown, he was born in the
    Chanahchy village of Shusha. Valerian (Rustam) Madatov Karabakhski
    served in the Russian army and was known for his venality and cruelty
    against Azerbaijanis, Turks and Caucasian peoples.

    Appearing in the "foreground", retired "General Commando" Arkady
    Ter-Tadevosyan was born in Tbilisi, trained in military schools in
    Baku and Leningrad and served in the Soviet military in Afghanistan,
    Czechoslovakia, Germany, Belarus, and in Armenia . He began his
    career in1987. He is known for his crimes in Shusha, Khojaly and in
    several other settlements of Nagorno-Karabakh, for which he received
    the title of a "hero" in 2009.

    Armenia explains the establishment of a military school with the
    necessity of developing high-class specialists from the local community
    as a defense against the enemy. The Military School named after
    Ivanyan, built with financial support from businessmen living in Russia
    has been open in Nagorno-Karabakh close to Khankendi since 2001. The
    training of more than 70 military students is held there every year,
    who are then sent to various military institutions in Armenia.

    But if one of these schools already exists, what is the second
    school for? What does the construction of the airport in Khankendi,
    the creation of the CSTO military academy in Yerevan and the above
    mentioned construction of a school in the village of Vank indicate?

    Who is interested in the militarization of the region?

    If one takes into account Armenia's membership in the CSTO and the
    population of this country, it becomes clear that this project is
    intended not only for Nagorno-Karabakh. Thus, it is too early to talk
    about peace; as such an approach will satisfy the opposite side.

    Adequate measures are required and, most likely, they will be taken.

    Information on construction of this scale should be evaluated by the
    OSCE's Minsk Group, which has taken over the peacekeeping mission,
    and relevant decisions should be taken.
