Kremlin Against International Recognition
`The status quo is unacceptable for everyone, first of Azerbaijan,
Armenia and those who live in Nagorno-Karabakh, I am sure. Status quo
means not only the unresolved issue of return of Azerbaijani
territories but also economic blockade of Armenia, therefore nobody
needs to be persuaded of unacceptability of the status quo,' the
Russian foreign minister Sergey Lavrov stated in Moscow during the
joint press conference with Elmar Mammedyarov.
Lavrov also stated that the status quo is unacceptable for Russia
because `it is a long and complicated conflict between our neighbors,
friends' while peace and stability in the Caucasus is Russia's foreign
political priority.
It is something usual that the Russian government makes statements
which not only are in line with the interests of Armenia as Russia's
de jure strategic partner but also violate the dignity of Armenians.
No statement Russia makes gets an adequate political response in
Armenia. Both the government and the opposition are silent. And if the
reason of the government's silence is known, the silence of the
opposition is disgusting. Even the political forces with a
nationalistic posture do not dare to evaluate the statements that
Russia makes. Although, in the long run this total silence is
understood. Since the victories and defeats of the opposition are
sealed in Moscow, they also depend on Moscow's moods.
As a result, the Russian Federation continues to make statements which
contradict Armenia's strategic interest.
Why has Moscow decided to speak about unacceptability of the status quo?
Is the reason the dynamics of recognition of the independence of
Karabakh in the so-called secondary market of global politics,
threatening Russia's partial loss of its influence in the region
because, most importantly, the myth that Russia is the only friend of
the Armenian people will be busted?
Meanwhile, a significant part of regional influence of Russia is based
on this myth. Moscow may lose its influence on the status who the more
tangible the process of recognition.
Therefore, the Kremlin is actually against the international
recognition of Karabakh and reminds that status quo is unacceptable,
forgetting that this status quo is the victory and security gained at
the cost of the precious blood of the strategic partner the loss of
which will mean loss of security and autonomy.
Lavrov's statements will continue to be silenced in Armenia. Who
knows, Russia may still have reserved invitations for the opposition
or alternative of Armenia. It is not desirable to be invited to listen
to swearing in Moscow and lose the resource of swearing in Armenia.
