Qabil Ashirov read more Remaining true to its expansionist foreign policy, Armenia goes
the limits by not signing final peace with Azerbaijan. As the Hay
society brain-washed with the myths about the invincible brave
Armenian soul, they have not been able to comprehend the realities
behind the humiliated defeat in 2020. The reality is comprised that
from economic, demographic and political point of view Armenia is
the weakest country in the South Caucasus and even its borders are
protected by Russia, in the other words, it is failed state or
banana republic. To top it all off, this failed banana republic
rides the high horse and tries to wrest off lands from Azerbaijan,
the strongest and dominant country in the region. At the end of the
day, it encounters the facts, either it should continue its
expansionist policy which will end up the erase of Armenia from the
political map, or it should swallow its pride. Unfortunately, Hayk
chose the former one. Despite all occurrence, they keep hoping that
something will change in the global political scene, and external
forces such as France, the USA and so on will come to fight with
Azerbaijan instead of them. So, they aim to play with time by
making provocations, putting groundless claims forward and so on.
Because, like the Armenian leadership, the Armenian society knows
well the methods of gaining time by inventing various excuses for
their own interests.
As is known, Armenian PM Nikol Pashinyan made sensational
statements about peace talks and repeatedly emphasized that he is
ready to recognize Karabakh as a part of Azerbaijan. It was
unexpected not just for Azerbaijanis but also for Armenians as
well. No one in Armenia's political life has made such statements
previously. However, being well aware of Armenian hypocrisy, many
were sceptical about his words, and it proved that they were right.
According to the Armenian mass-media the Haya Que civil-legislative
initiative proposes to amend the legislation and criminalize any
action on behalf of Armenia that recognizes Karabakh as part of
another state. Simultaneously, governmental and pro-governmental
parties are lashing out the initiative, but needless to say that
all of these are farce. It will be no surprise, if Armenia
Parliament adopts the law at the end.
It is worth noting that it is well known democracy game and
quasi-democratic countries sometimes apply to it. Of course Nikol
Pashinyan will do the same and use it as a pretext to step back
from his statement. Ostensibly, he is ready and eager to sign a
peace, but as Armenia is a so-called democratic country he abides
by the laws and therefore he cannot sign the peace agreement.
Pashinyan's traditional excuse consists of subjects such as his
life being at risk, threats to family members, and coup attempt in
his country. Thus, they think that the peace talks will reach to a
deadlock once again, and they will try to explain it somehow by
giving an excuse.
But Armenia forgets Azerbaijan's patience is not unlimited and
any such kind of attempts could be last straw. Of course, this will
limit the opportunity of negotiation and could lead to the new war
between the two countries.
Besides, Azerbaijan has a lot of leverages to use against the
failed state as well. As is known, Armenians were brought to the
South Caucasus, including Armenia by the Russian Empire after the
Russo-Iranian war at the beginning of 19th century.
Nascent Armenian society in the region revived thanks to the
Russian Empire. It was Czar who took productive lands and granted
them to Armenians; it was Czar who gave them permission to exploit
oil well in Absheron, Azerbaijan; it was Czar who eliminated the
Caucasus Albanian Church and handed its heritage to the Armenian
church and so on.
Moreover, current Armenia was called Iravan khanate, when Russia
invaded it and plenty of documents were signed with the
representatives of khans of Iravan and Russian Czars. Even as a
historical proof, it is possible to clearly see the mosques in
then-Iravan in many tableaux painted by several Russian artists.
Besides, several then-famous writers described the city as a
hometown of Muslims. In other words, Azerbaijan has plenty of
historical facts to prove Armenia as having been part of
Azerbaijani land, and has full right to criminalize any statement
of it, and moreover has a strong army to bring it into force. So,
it would be better for Armenians to get of the high horse, and try
to find reasonable solution, if they do not want their banana
republic is put in dusty shelves of archives of history in days to
come.
