EUROPE PASSES TO SANCTIONS AGAINST ARMENIA
On November 23 the European Parliament voted for the amendments to
the resolution on strengthening relations with the Eastern Partnership
and progress and failures achieved so far.
The resolution inter alia dwells on two conflicts in the Eastern
Partnership space. The resolution notes that the EU should be involve
in the peace settlement of the conflicts more actively and reiterates
its position on the occupation of territories of one state by another
state. The resolution notes in particular that the settlement of the
conflict over Nagorno-Karabakh must be in line with the four UN SC
resolutions of 1993.
The Armenian deputy foreign minister Shavarsh Kocharyan and Deputy
Speaker Eduard Sharmazanov have commented on this resolution.
Kocharyan said the resolution may affect the settlement adversely.
Sharmazanov said the documents adopted before the ceasefire could
not be referred because they have lost their force.
The reaction of the Armenian government to international politics and
documents is funny. For example, the same government did not utter
a single word when Russia and Turkey reiterated their commitment
to the unlawful Treaty of Moscow signed in 1921. Under this treaty
a significant part of the territories of Armenia were presented to
Turkey and Azerbaijan. By the way, Sharmazanov should also note that
this document was aimed against the rights of the Pontus Greeks.
Politics is not petty ruses as the Armenian government's
representatives of different calibers think, and that may work in
Armenia but in international politics it will cost expensive. The
government has been fooling around in foreign affairs for four years,
so were Kocharyan and Sharmazanov doing, and they thought that
would work.
Such things cannot be forgiven, and evidence is the EP resolution.
Europe has met Armenia in every matter, all the Armenian issues were
"adapted" to the process of preparation ahead of the association.
Armenia finally had a chance to break away from the Russian-Turkish
pincers and resolve its own problems with dignity. In return for
that Armenia would be a serious factor in the region, starting to
perform several important functions, namely Turkey's containment,
Iran-West dialogue and other issues. In other words, Armenia would
become an important country.
Instead, the Armenian government and political class chose the way
of shedding responsibility and ridding of bugbear, hoping to survive
longer. But who will respect such a government? Such a government and
the country it heads is marginal, an outcast which can be treated in
any way.
As to the EP resolution, everything is highly logical. If Armenia
rejects the way it has proposed, Europe is no longer responsible and
should answer the political and moral blow. One of the counterattacks
is this resolution which evokes the four UN resolutions and occupation.
The resolutions and documents in international politics have a
so-called dual meaning. For the winner, that is the Armenian side,
these four resolutions laid down the achievements of the Armenian
armed forces. These four UN resolutions allowed avoiding human losses,
the population of these territories were evacuated to Iran where the
UN reception points were operating, and everything was in line with
the international law.
For the loser side, which the Armenian side now is, the other message
of these resolutions - "occupation" - is relevant, which has been
laid down by the European Parliament.
Politics is something serious, not a ruse.
