WHAT WILL REMAIN FROM KARABAKH AFTER RUSSIAN TROOPS?
The U.S. Department of State and OSCE have stated that the Azerbaijani
elections are non-compliant. Obama has not congratulated Ilham Aliyev,
and the chief of his staff Ramiz Mehtiyev has accused the United
States of interfering with the country's domestic affairs. So, it
would be logical to expect that the United States will not recognize
Aliyev as a legitimate president of Azerbaijan.
Anti-Azerbaijani moods are gathering momentum in Russia. The Russian
police suspects an Azerbaijani of Yegor Scherbakov's murder. The
disorders that followed the murder had an ethnic Azerbaijani identity.
The Russian government is using nationalism in its foreign policy. In
summer the Russian propaganda used Hrachya Harutiunyan's case as a
potential detonator of anti-Russian moods to bend Armenia towards it.
Armenia is in the Customs Union, already, and now it is Azerbaijan's
turn. The Russian government cannot resolve its issues with Aliyev,
and the problem is Karabakh rather than energy.
Russia needs to deploy troops in Karabakh. Moscow seems to have
managed to persuade Armenia, and evidence is Zori Balayan's letter.
Now they are trying to sway Azerbaijan.
What is Moscow preparing for Karabakh? And most importantly, where in
Karabakh will the Russian troops be based? The Armenian side hopes
to see them at the line of contact while Azerbaijan insists on the
border of former Nagorno-Karabakh Autonomous Region.
The political scientist Andrias Ghukasyan says Artsakh may find
itself in a situation when the Russian forces will stand between
Artsakh and Azerbaijan, and such a solution may interest the United
States. Return of one or two territories may be considered. Commenting
on his letter, Zori Balayan also hinted that someone wants to seize
the liberated territories from Karabakh and leave "10 kilometers". And
he is inviting the Russian troops to prevent this. How many kilometers
will the Russians leave?
Both the United States and Russia want to sway Aliyev and Turkey to
a settlement of the Karabakh conflict. The United States and Russia
may not be able to agree on the price of settlement, the number of
territories and kilometers. It is possible that they have agreed but
Aliyev has not.
Meanwhile, non-recognition of elections by the United States and
anti-Azerbaijani pronouncements in Moscow are good arguments. And
they will be used very soon.
The most horrible thing is that the Armenians will pay for the
so-called settlement. The question is: "How many regions?"
