THE CHOIR OF FOREIGN INTERESTS IS NOT ABLE TO HAMPER ARTSAKH IN THE REALIZATION OF ITS RIGHTS
Sunday, 22 March 2015 13:09
It turned out that the mood of the Azerbaijani society, including
the ruling regime, is in direct dependence on the ongoing political
processes in the Nagorno Karabakh Republic.
Observations show and prove that the closer the date of the next
parliamentary elections in the NKR scheduled for May 3 the higher the
level of depression and nervousness in Azerbaijan, often increasing
to mere hysteria.
The grounds for this conclusion are the recurring waves of information
there, raising the dirty mud from the bottom of the Azerbaijani
propaganda, which is struggling to prove to the world and, first of
all, to its own brainwashed people that the parliamentary elections
in Nagorno Karabakh are illegal and have no meaning. But, the
representatives of the Azeri propaganda, sparing neither forces nor
means for disinformation campaigns and considering themselves aces in
this sphere, do not notice the contradictions in their own words and
actions. In this context, a reasonable question arises - if, according
to Baku, the upcoming elections to the National Assembly of Artsakh
have absolutely no meaning, so why is Azerbaijan so alarmed, filling
the media space with materials for discrediting the public-political
event of state importance in the NKR?
Surely, we'll not get an answer to this question from the Azerbaijani
party, although it lies on the surface - conducting different-level
elections in the NKR, especially in full compliance with the universal
democratic norms and principles, has long become a tradition in
Artsakh; it consolidates the independence of the Karabakh state and
the international image of our Republic. Especially that in terms of
the level of democratic development Azerbaijan, in comparison with the
NKR, always lost, which had been repeatedly confirmed by the reports
of independent observers invited to our elections and the Freedom
House international human rights organization, which put Artsakh
above Azerbaijan on the degree of democratic freedoms and human rights.
Apparently, realizing the inferiority and invalidity of its statements
on the illegality of the elections in the NKR, the Azerbaijani party
resorts, with enviable consistency and persistency worthof better
application, to the support of foreign structures, scratching their
"special opinion" and exploiting this opinion in their propaganda
purposes. Thus, the Azeri mass media were distinguished this week with,
so to speak, "huge ejection" of comments by the Ministries of Foreign
Affairs of Great Britain, Russia, Switzerland, Latvia and others on the
upcoming parliamentary elections in the NKR. Surely, it is senseless
to cite each comment, but if we sum up the statements by the foreign
ministries, we can see that their essence is that these countries do
not recognize our parliamentary elections, that the elections cannot
influence the course of the peaceful settlement of the Karabakh
conflict and predetermine the status of Nagorno Karabakh, etc.
We cannot, surely, exclude that the Azerbaijani party, in its usual
manner of disinformation, has distorted to a certain extent the
essence of the foregoing; nevertheless attention is drawn by the fact
that the foreign ministries of the abovementioned countries didn't
condemn the elections, though Azerbaijan tries to present it so. At
the same time, due to their unwillingness to recognize the elections,
a logical question arises - does the international community really
prefer anarchy and chaos as an alternative to the process of formation
of power bodies in Artsakh, in this case - the legislative? Can the
international non-recognition of the NKR serve a justification for
depriving its people of the right to create legitimate power and
administration bodies, based on the democratic principles and norms
of the civilized world? But, the desire of the Karabakh people to
live in accordance with the generally accepted laws, to have a civil
society and an efficient and responsible power in itself is worthy of
support and encouragement. Otherwise, the international structures
are pouring water on the mill of Azerbaijan, which, hoping to get
Nagorno Karabakh, tries vainly to poke its long nose in the internal
affairs of the neighboring state.
In this context, we cannot ignore a very important aspect. Do the
international structures understand that Azerbaijan is struggling to
destroy Artsakh, because it has taken the path of implementation of the
Pan-Turkic plan of territorial reunification of Turkey and Azerbaijan,
that all the Pharisees ranting of Ankara and Baku on international law,
which is allegedly violated by Artsakh, serves as just a verbal cover
for achieving this goal? Do they realize such a danger, convicting
in different ways and with the filing of Baku the state-building
processes in the NKR, which was proclaimed through the free will of
its people? But, while those in the European and American offices,
which are so far from our region, cannot understand this, Russia,
which is also involved in the "anti-election choir", cannot afford
this, due to its vital interests. It must not do this. On the contrary,
as a strategic partner of Armenia, it should understand that in case
if the plan of the Turkish-Azerbaijani tandem is realized, Russia,
to say it in a specific slang, will be simply "thrown", and it will be
inevitably, or more likely forever forced out from the South Caucasus
region. We hopeit realizes this.
In due time, the great Russian humanist, Academician Andrei Sakharov
said, "For Azerbaijan, Karabakh is an issue of ambition, and for
Armenians - the issue of life and death". Russia should always remember
this statement by its patriot and act accordingly. As for Artsakh,
it held and will hold different-level elections, as it is guided by
its own and not foreign interests.
