The president of the European Commission Jose Manuel Barroso replied
to the letter of the Azerbaijani organizations that flights operated
>From the airport of Stepanakert will not be helpful to the peace
process. A few days ago the OSCE Minsk Group also expressed concerns
about the operation of the airport.
The airport of Stepanakert is an area of turbulence. In the
Armenian-Russian domain the issue of the airport is viewed in terms of
security, whereas in the Western domain the operation of the airport
is out of time.
On March 12 the issue of the airport may be discussed during the
Putin-Sargsyan meeting. The airport will serve geopolitical
developments rather than the citizens. It will be an object of
military ventures or provocations.
The Russian army will appear in the region the first because it is
closer and it has `legal' framework to take martial law in its hands.
It will take the Russian armed force a small provocation to appear
here. Of course, there is such practice when the armed forces reached
the southern border of Georgia but returned to the northern border.
But in Artsakh the situation will be different, and the armed forces
will not leave it for a long time. Perhaps this prospect causes
concerns in the West regarding the operation of the airport of
Stepanakert.
The Armenian government must be prudent enough to avoid geopolitical
adventures. Of course, it is a little inconvenient. Serzh Sargsyan
promised but does not fly, the airport was built but does not operate
flight. However, there is nothing more convenient than peace and
sovereignty in Artsakh and Armenia, especially that if the war
resumes, it will not be our war, and it will be very difficult for the
Armenian side to address its strategic issues.
At the same time, the problem for Russia may be a little different and
not intended for pushing Armenia into adventures and establishing
Russian martial law in the region. Apparently, Russia is working on
its backup scenarios for the regional game.
Moscow can see that it is behind in the political and economic
competition with the West. Civil and public technologies are an
unknown universe to Russia. The West does not take abrupt or
treacherous steps, everything is done openly and most probably Moscow
is assured that the process will not be free style fight or rules will
not change suddenly but the Kremlin is trying to insure itself from
undesirable or unpredictable turns. The airport of Stepanakert is a
spot where it will be possible to cause tension and change the state
of affairs in the region in a second.
