Expectations do not always coincide with the reality, and the
reality has recently troubled Armenian Political circles, who, with
all might, are trying to resolve what has already been
resolved.
The visit of the French delegation, led by President of the
National Assembly Yaël Braun-Pivet did not justify the hopes of the
Armenian political circles as life under the auspices of revanchism
is still ongoing.
The state of French, in accordance with international law, does
not recognize the independence of Nagorno-Karabakh. President of
the French National Assembly of Yaël Braun-Pivet, who was visiting
Armenia, stated this at a joint press conference with her Armenian
counterpart in Yerevan.
She said that the French state, in accordance with the
international law, to which it is committed, does not recognize the
independence of the area called 'Nagorno-Karabakh'.
The president of the National Assembly also touched upon the
current situation around Karabakh. She noted that the path to peace
and dialogue has not fully exhausted itself.
In the meantime, Azerbaijan has repeatedly come in favor of
result-oriented dialog. Azerbaijan is ready to sit down at the
negotiations table to turn a new page in relations with Armenia
through establishing diplomatic relations. And under the current
circumstances, Armenia needs this more than Azerbaijan.
Obviously, all these statements turned out to be insufficient
for Armenia, and Yaël Braun-Pivet'sstatement that Paris does not
plan to slap sanctions on Baku and is not going to recognize the
'independence of Karabakh', since France is guided by the norms of
international law, was met with resentment in Armenia.
In an interview with Sputnik news agency, Armenian pundit Suren
Surenyants once again demonstrated Armenia's incredible ability to
repel allies, turning them into nemeses. Armenia has never paid its
allies with the same coin, always remaining dissatisfied with
something, which is why the number of allies is dwindling.
“During the visit to Yerevan, statements were made that can be
used more in the foreign policy arsenal of our enemy than in ours.
This is an issue of the quality of our diplomacy and foreign
policy,” he said.
The statement heard at the press conference was exactly what
that enraged the pundit. Paris does not plan to impose sanctions
against Baku and is not going to recognize the 'independence of
Karabakh', since France is guided by the norms of international
law. And at this point, Armenia has nothing to oppose, and Yaël
Braun-Pivet, knowingly or unknowingly, meant to be Armenia's ally
and friend, disarmed Azerbaijan's arc enemies by putting them in
checkmate.
France made it clear that instead of plotting another
provocation, Armenia should rather weigh the pros and cons
Azerbaijan is offering in order to build relations between the two
nations.
Azerbaijan has always been ready for negotiations, even before
the start of the 44-day war, the country insisted on a peaceful
solution to the conflict. With her visit, Yaël Braun-Pivet made it
clear to the Armenian elite that it is necessary to sit down at the
negotiations table to hammer out all issues peacefully, and simply
forget the idea of revenge.
It is high time for Armenia to rethink all its actions and fix
them before it is too late. One can interpret France's remarks as a
hint to Armenia to sit down at the negotiations table, despite the
fact that Azerbaijan has the upper hand and a final say. Armenia
has simply driven itself into a dead end and not a single ally
intends to indulge it in this farce.
