WEST HAS "DRAWN" BORDERS OF ARTSAKH AHEAD OF RECOGNITION

After yesterday's meeting of the Republican Party's executive board
the party's spokesman Edward Sharmazanov announced, "We established
our position ahead of Sargsyan-Aliyev meeting: there is no alternative
to the international recognition of NKR independence."
Was the recognition of Karabakh by Armenia discussed during the
Republican board meeting as a premise of membership of Armenia to the
Eurasian Union? This idea has been put forth by the Heritage Party but
neither the ruling party, not the three non-governmental forces and
ARF Dashnaktsutyun have supported this idea. On the other hand, it is
obvious that the recognition of Karabakh may become the most topical
issue of the region in the context of redesign of the region and
international isolation of Russia, as well as several other processes.
The deputy foreign minister of Armenia Shavarsh Kocharyan has recently
warned that Armenia may recognize the independence of Karabakh at
any time. He has announced about this in answer to a question on
possible challenges that Karabakh may exposed to if Armenia joins
the Eurasian Economic Union. Armenia, however, has decided to bid on
the international isolation, said Artak Zakaryan, chairman of Foreign
Affairs Committee of the National Assembly.
Who may recognize Karabakh and is it possible in the nearest future?
The question is that after membership to the Eurasian Economic Union
Russia's role, including in the settlement of the Karabakh issue, will
grow suddenly. The balance of forces maintained by Russia-U.S.-France
triangle may be disrupted, and Moscow may monopolize the issue,
getting hold of the "keys" to the region.
The United States and France may have a plan for this case, and it
is possible that this plan is the recognition of the independence of
Karabakh. There are suppositions that this option may be discussed
during Sargsyan-Aliyev meeting in Paris. There are assumptions that
this option may be discussed during the Sargsyan-Aliyev meeting
in Paris. Recently, there have been frequent visits of European,
including French and German members of parliament and politicians to
Karabakh, which has caused Baku's anger. The Europeans have immunity.
For example, recently the French town of Bourg de Valence and Shushi
town of NKR have become sisters, and nothing happened.
In the meantime, having bid on the international recognition of
Karabakh, Armenia must find out whether it will favor the Armenian
side or not. After all, it is important to know with what borders
Karabakh will be recognized. If the Armenians have to pay a price
for recognition that they cannot afford, it will mean that it favors
someone else but not Armenia. The one who will recognize Karabakh
the first will be the leader of the region and will identify the new
borders. Therefore, Armenia must draw its borders first before the
international recognition.
The minister of defense Seiran Ohanyan announced during the
August escalation that the Armenian side is not going to hand any
territories. If the position of the Armenian government is such, Serzh
Sargsyan must announce about it in Paris, rejecting the principles
of Madrid that assume territorial concessions.
The Karabakh conflict may be the next issue on the international
agenda. The German foreign minister Steinmeier has visited Baku
and Yerevan and spoken about Karabakh. Besides, Iran and the West
may sign a "peace" agreement on November 24, and land communication
between Iran and Europe will become urgent. And the Iran-Karabakh
border spans 100 km.
