YOUNG SOLDIERS' LIVES ARE USED TO PAY FOR COUPS
According to the Azerbaijani side, three Azerbaijanis were affected
by a mine blast. One of them was not affected, the other was injured,
the third is reportedly missing.
The spokesman for the ministry of defense Artsrun Hovhannisyan assured
that the Armenian side has not captured anyone. Besides, he announced
that the Azerbaijani side continues to violate the ceasefire, and in
some cases the Armenian side has to answer back.
The Armenian conscript Hakob Injighulyan remains captured by
Azerbaijanis though he agreed to move to a third country. A week after
Hakob had been captured the Armenian side sent to a third country the
Azerbaijani captured in Armenia for a year. Other acts of goodwill
were taken but Hakob has not been set free.
The "quantitative" struggle between Armenians and Azerbaijanis has
recently intensified. The sides are counting loud the casualties
on either sides of the border and in the army, hinting that this is
revenge. The Armenian military announce bluntly that they will answer
back for every killed soldier.
Notably, the international press has started speaking about the
possibility of escalation in Karabakh. Before September 3 the Russian
experts used to speak about Azerbaijan's intentions to resume military
actions in the context of Russian security safeguards. Now the Western
press focuses on this issue, especially after the presentation of the
report and press conference of the ICG, stating about the possibility
of escalation in Karabakh.
Interestingly, the ICG lists domestic protests in Armenia and the
forthcoming Azerbaijani presidential elections among the potential
causes of escalation rather than geopolitical issues. Either the
ICG data have not been updated recently (before September 3 there
was a probability of a coup in Armenia that would be triggered by
initialing the Association Agreement, and the ICG probably knew about
it) or the group knows something about some domestic process that may
be triggered by Serzh Sargsyan's decision to join the Customs Union.
One way or another, both during the European affair of Armenia
and after its engagement with Russia the Karabakh factor remains
valid. In addition, the Karabakh factor was and will be considered in
the light of a coup and change of government in Armenia, not change of
status quo. In the meantime, young people on both sides of the border
are affected. They are captured, killed by mine blasts and commit
"suicide".
The Armenian government has been unable to shed the burden of the
"threat of Karabakh", speak to the public sincerely and point those
who use the lives of young men as cannon fodder. Generally, the
Armenian government is not brave enough to talk to the public, and
"accumulates" more and more sins for the lives it pays for successful
or thwarted coups.
