It is obvious that Putin's final objective is to hook Ukraine, exactly
as it did earlier with Moldova, Georgia, Armenia, and Azerbaijan. The
Azerbaijani site, Minval.az, spoke to political expert Zardusht
Alizadeh about Russia's role in the region and the Ukrainian crisis.
According to Alizadeh, the Ukrainian political elite were found to
be just as foolish, greedy, and short-sighted as were the elites in
Armenia, Azerbaijan, and Georgia in the beginning of the 90's.
"Although, more than twenty years have passed, they haven't learned
any lessons. They repeated the same mistakes that our political elites
had made. They let Ukraine get hooked by Russia."
The political expert thinks, that Ukrainians have unequivocally lost
Crimea, "because as long as there is Russia, Crimea will belong to it.
While Donetsk has turned into a new Karabakh, which is the result
of the Ukrainian elite's greed and stupidity, and Russia did what it
could and wanted to do."
After what the West did with Kosovo, in regards to Serbia, no one has
the right to call Russia an aggressor, according to Alizadeh. "Russia
hasn't bombed Ukraine. NATO bombed Belgrade, bombed wedding ceremonies,
radio and TV stations. Russia never bombed, but instead did it
in a more covert way what NATO did with Yugoslavia to defend its
geoeconomic and geopolitical interests. Yes, Russia has violated
international norms and the Ukrainian people's interests, but the
Ukrainian state's interests were, first and foremost, violated
by the Ukrainian political elite; Yanukovich, the Maidan leaders,
and Poroshenko. For the sake of power, they betrayed the state's
interests. The same has happenned in front of my eyes in Azerbaijan,
when a group of government officials betrayed Azerbaijan for the sake
of power. I've seen the same in Georgia, Armenia, and Moldova."
When asked about the escape plan under the current situation, Alizadeh
answered that the noted countries should put their hopes on Russia's
collapse.
