    WAR IS POSTPONED A LITTLE

    Interview with Hayk Martirosyan, Ph.D. Candidate at Sorbonne
    University, political sciences

    Mr. Martirosyan, the three presidents, Barack Obama, Hollande and
    Putin prolonged the Karabakh status quo. Edward Nalbandyan commented
    on their statement saying that it could be a stimulus for progress in
    the negotiations if Azerbaijan's leadership perceives the emphases
    of the co-chair countries. Does this mean Karabakh process will
    lack developments?

    I don't agree with the opinion that the status quo has been prolonged.

    It is just that the war has been postponed a little. It is almost
    impossible to find a peace solution to the Karabakh issue. This is
    not said in Armenia, but in Azerbaijan they say it. They reject the
    negotiations, we - the war, but the negotiations won't give anything
    positive to us. It is said but the war is the only real version we
    can't avoid.

    As to the statement of the co-chairing presidents, I would say that
    official statement differ from the reality. When ordering peace, the
    parties are not armed. While, Azerbaijan is provided serious military
    equipment by Israel and Russia. Against this background, any statement
    recalls a temporary mechanism of repression. On the other hand, if
    we present it as serious political pressure on Azerbaijan, we could
    say the same also for Armenia with the view of forcing Armenia make
    concessions in order to avoid the war.

    Can this statement have any implication on the home situation in
    Armenia? Can there be unexpected situations in regional countries -
    in Armenia, Turkey, Azerbaijan and in Iran?

    Unfortunately, the Armenian society does not care for foreign policy.

    This is strange. In Syria, on these days, the civilization of the
    whole region, rather the West, is being decided. Armenia will feel
    the first influence and blow. But the society seems to be following
    Syria from a distant planet. It has the same attitude towards Karabakh
    issue. It is inert.

    As to the neighboring countries, then political changes in those
    countries will surely influence on Armenia. The war against Iran
    may be destructive for Armenia. That war will involve many regional
    states, including Armenia, which will become a weakening rival for
    Azerbaijan. Russia will do something not to lose Armenia but it will
    be done late, after many sacrifices. This is a terrible scenario
    and it can't be ignored. As to the unexpected influence of regional
    countries on super powers, then usually, it is the super powers that
    create unexpected situations for regional countries.

    What will happen against the background of Azerbaijan's aggression
    and Russia's supply of weapons to this country?

    A War. A military conflict. The Russian weapon has not changed
    Azerbaijan's intentions. They are unchangeable for Aliyev. The Russian
    weapon will make the situation harder for Armenia, which will fall into
    bigger dependence on its ally. In general, it is impossible to imagine
    in politics that the strategic partner sells weapon to the rival of
    its partner. It is almost the same as the U.S. didn't arm Israel but
    Hamas. Russia's position on this matter needs to be explained.
