On January 31, during an attempt to visit Karabakh, 160 participants
of the car march of the Founding Parliament, including women and
children, ran across a well-organized resistance, including the police
and veterans of war.
Something unprecedented happened, and one may think that the
government of Karabakh was expecting a commando rather than a peaceful
demonstration.
The "defenders" of Karabakh had a high level of organization. It
should be noted that the behavior of the Police representatives was
not unanimous. Some of them were trying to demonstrate artificial
cruelty and absolute loyalty to the government. Others could not hide
their reluctance to participate in what was going on and were even
sympathizing with the demonstrators.
In any case, this performance was intended to demonstrate power,
and the addressees were the people of Karabakh.
But what were the authorities of Karabakh afraid of? A revolution?
Apparently, there was a likelihood of an anti-Russian action in
Karabakh which would be probable, and it worried the government
of Karabakh.
Already anti-Russian actions have taken place in Yerevan and Gyumri
for different reasons, but in Karabakh it would sound especially
louder. Apparently, ahead of the prepared manipulation of the Karabakh
issue by Russia it was necessary to demonstrate that Russia has and
will have no problems in Karabakh.
