IF ARMENIA IS A VASSAL
[ Part 2.2: "Attached Text" ]
[eng138268862538.JPG] After four weeks of doubts it is understood
that the development of relations with the European Union is out
of question. The EU pretends as if it is worried about the state
of affairs and is ready for new initiatives and continuation of
development of relations with Armenia. In reality, the Europeans
need not continue to attract attention to the September 3 scandal,
enter into a meaningless discussion with Russia, display lack of
political experience and inadequate understanding of the situation
in the South Caucasus.
The Europeans always want stability and predictability of developments
and processes, and it is better to have stability than too much
democracy. Currently the Euro-Atlantic community is trying to
demonstrate that it is not responsible for the security of Armenia
to convey a message to those who still may have illusions.
Something has been promised to Armenia in a highly limited format.
Now not impression but understanding is concerned. The European Union
does not know for sure what it should do next, and there is no wish
to understand this fully. The most important thing is to conserve
the problem in a sufficiently safe condition and prevent occurrence
of conflicts when the reason could be the policy of the European Union.
Washing hands is the proper name for the current position of the EU.
Serzh Sargsyan's upcoming visit to Vilnius could be provided with
all the delicate details but in fact the EU will not desire this
visit. There may be a new topic, a more modest and less ambitious
one, but the most important thing for now is not to have this topic
at all. It must be closed at the earliest convenience.
Against the decaying relations with the EU it would be better to
understand what NATO intends for Armenia, letting understand that the
alliance has a different attitude to CSTO from the attitude of the
European Union to the Customs Union. And in this case the mechanics is
different but the message was for Russia, not Armenia, which explains
why Armenia cannot be the cause of a scandal or a political conflict.
Neither on Robert Schumanplein, nor on King Leopold Boulevard in
Brussels do they understand with who they should deal with in Yerevan,
why to do it and what to do. The collapse of the West's policy was too
painful to pass to new topics so rapidly. They simply do not exist. The
Western subjects had contacts with even Chechnya because the goals
and objectives were clear. The Chechens sought for independence but
hardly anyone will go for serious relations with a vassal or a country
which does not mind being a vassal.
The Karabakh topic will be considered by the West as a means of
pressure on Russia which will sooner or later have to refuse this
resource.
The real Armenian society, unlike the government of Armenia, knows
for sure that in this outrageous situation all it wants to do is to
adapt. However, this time they will have to adapt to new situations
and sponging will not be so comfortable.
Turkey, Azerbaijan and their lobbies in Europe and the United States
are overjoyed, and they are not hiding their feelings. They need to
wait until Russia announced that it is no longer interested in the
South Caucasus. Or otherwise Russia will let understand that it is
interested in Azerbaijan more. Belorussia has announced about it,
while Russia had done so earlier.
