    What U.S. Co-Chair Meant To Say

    The U.S. Embassy has made some interesting Twits in response to
    critics of the OSCE Minsk Group co-chair Warlick's speech and his
    suggested outcomes of settlement of the NK conflict. In fact, Warlick
    has not authored, only voiced these outcomes because these are the
    recommendations that have been on the table of negotiations for about
    two decades, and their recent packaging is the Principles of Madrid of
    2007 which the Armenian government accepted as a basis for talks in
    the same year.

    `To those who criticize Ambassador Warlick's speech, remember: any
    negotiated settlement has to have compromise on both sides for NK
    peace There are three possible outcomes: a negotiated settlement,
    prolong unacceptable status quo, or war,' the U.S. Embassy writes.

    This is a very interesting observation. The embassy seems to make it
    clear that the Armenian society has not understood the context of the
    American co-chair's speech. The point is that if the Armenian society
    understood them, the reaction of the Armenian society would not be
    criticism of the co-chair who utters the approaches that are on the
    table but would follow him and voice its own approach.

    OK, let them criticize. But what will its outcome be? What have the
    Armenian society and nation done to have a different proposal on the
    table? Has anything significant been done over the past 22 years
    besides translating the victory in Artsakh to immense wealth of
    several families, besides introducing electoral fraud mechanisms and
    justifying usurpation under the name of victory, besides using Artsakh
    victory for domestic manipulations, besides instilling in the society
    the destructive psychology and philosophy of saving through
    surrendering and besides declaring irreversible subjection to the
    Russian empire as the only salvation to form a different approach
    towards Armenia, bring about a different role and importance for
    Armenia?

    The process of talks is equal to what we have turned the victory of
    Artsakh to. Why are we criticizing Warlick now? Because he did not do
    anything except from warning about threat?

    `If the sides hold out to get everything they want, they will be
    waiting for a long, long time,' the U.S. Embassy states, hinting that
    first one needs to have a better state which does not surrender its
    sovereignty and security to an empire, where the idea of sovereignty
    is not an object for trade-off under the veil of security but a
    standard value which is the key to solution of all the national,
    social and civil problems.

    One has to be more to get more. It's been a long time the United
    States has been trying to hinder Russia to shift the status quo. The
    United States prevented Medvedev from doing it who had invented a
    three-party format to hand over Karabakh in Kazan, it is not allowing
    Putin to do it who has proclaimed a goal of consolidation of Russian
    territories and is obviously considering Artsakh, counting on the
    government and political parties of Armenia. The United States hinders
    Russia so much that the Kremlin-based political scientists are nagging
    and complaining of the United States.

    Now the United States declares that it cannot hinder Russia all the
    time and Armenia with its posture is helping Russia to seize Artsakh
    and hand over the liberated territories to Azerbaijan. Does Armenia
    intend to prevent this prospect or not? Of course, they cannot ask the
    question directly because there are a lot of diplomatic and political
    nuances. Besides, they talk directly to a donkey only, the Armenian
    saying is.
