Though the domestic political situation and the public sentiments
in Armenia add a political context to any topic, it isn't likely to
change the general political-military situation, a political analyst
has said, commenting on the clashes that followed a recent car race
to Nagorno-Karabakh's (Artaskh) Berdzor town.
"If Azerbaijan is searching for problems inside Armenia and feels joy
upon finding one, that isn't likely to in any way affect the situation
on the front," Sergey Minasyan told Tert.am, adding that he even saw
a solidarity between the society and the political forces on the day
of the campaign.
Noting that Nagorno-Karabakh is perceived by many Armenians as
part of their historical homaland, the expert said he doesn't think
that those who conducted the race sought in any way to hazard the
country's security.
Minasyan added that he doesn't expect the incident to deteriorate
the relations between the people in Armenia and Nagorno-Karabakh.
Commenting on the incident, Vardan Devrikyan, a deputy head of the
National Academy's Institute of Literature and a veteran of the
Nagorno-Karabakh war, also ruled out the possibility of a separation
between the people in the two Armenian republics.
"There have always been people complaining about Armenia's three
presidents, but that isn't a ground for complaining about one's
own home country," he said, describing Armenia and Karabakh as two
different states of a united fatherland.
Devrikyan said he doesn't think that the Nagorno-Karabakh authorities
have ever interfered in the domestic political developments in Armenia
or ever tried to get involved in government-forming processes.
"What is termed as Artsakh region is very unacceptable," he said,
commenting on the thesis proposed by the Pre-Parliament group (which
initiated the car race). "We turn out to serve Azerbaijan's interests
behind the veil of patriotism by saying that Artsakh is a region
of the Republic of Armenia," he said, adding that those making the
statement had not considered possible political implicatins despite
their honest goals.
"God grant Artsakh became a part of Armenia," he said, considering
the civic group's statement untimely for now.
