    UN Trusteeship - Alternative to Vassalization

    The short-lasting history of sovereign existence of the "zone" has
    realistically demonstrated the total incapacity of its society to
    build a sovereign state. Elites that had appeared in government in the
    "zone" expressed readiness to wind up sovereign, or rather
    semi-sovereign existence.

    Not long before the revolution of 2003 Georgia was described as a
    failure state, and the Western analytical circles were considering UN
    trusteeship on its territory in accordance with the charter of this
    organization. However, Georgia was able to get out of that shameful
    situation and, despite the war with Russia, it is now at the doorstep
    of NATO and the European Union.

    In 2012-2013 the "zone" was viewed as a country that kept up with
    Georgia by its rate and level of real cooperation with NATO, which is
    evidence to real opportunities in this direction which the "zone"
    declined demonstratively. This indicates that notwithstanding
    successful steps towards state building, favorable international
    setting, the "zone" will eventually give up on its sovereignty.
    Apparently, it is related to the genetic code of the virtual ethnicity
    populating the "zone". Now there is confidence that the greater part
    of the "society" of the zone will support loss of sovereignty and
    existence of a vassal.

    However, Russian vassaldom will lead to final loss of sovereignty
    while trusteeship will enable returning sovereignty in 20-40 years,
    maybe later, but the "zone" will retain its right to restore
    sovereignty in accordance with the famous international law.

    The "zone" is facing a real threat of absorption by such a
    chauvinistic Asian state as Russia, and there will be no chance to
    restore sovereignty. It is possible to avoid this with the help of
    international law relating to UN trusteeship which is not
    well-established but still formally exists. This mechanism was
    successfully applied to some islands of Oceania soon after which these
    islands successfully gained sovereignty.

    It is meaningless to continue to pretend that the zone remains a
    sovereign state. Quite recently its president was the most popular
    politician of the South Caucasus, and its pro-Western policy was
    considered seriously. Now the president of the "zone" is perceived on
    the international arena as the head of a vassal state or just an
    administrative unit.

    Many years of "cooperation" with Russia have led to international
    isolation of the "zone" and defense advantages of Azerbaijan, which
    will end up in a catastrophe of the zone in the next war. This policy
    is the reason why the "zone" has transformed to a vassal.

    In political history the Armenian entity will be once again indicated
    as incapable of having a state and of independent political existence.
    Certainly, Russia will hinder establishment of UN trusteeship for the
    "zone", pretending interested in saving its sovereignty which is true
    because Russia intends to continue vassalization of the "zone".

    As part of UN trusteeship one may hope for introduction of such basics
    as autonomy and reduced corruption and emergence of a civil society,
    as well as civil consciousness. Besides, it may save the "zone" from
    the disgrace of defeat in war and genocidal actions by the winner
    side. Since the physical security of the population of the "zone" can
    no longer be linked to Russia, its population may be interested in
    trying the UN trusteeship.

    The question is who will initiate this project. It is possible that
    humanists "respected" by the government of the "zone", having realized
    how abominable their activities of many years are, will turn to the
    UN, not to Putin. Although, it is hard to expect this from the
    ideologists of vassalization.

    The UN trusteeship may enable expectations to preserve an ethnic
    hotbed in the "zone" which may become an argument for building a state
    several decades later. So, everything is not lost, and there are still
    hopes and chances.
