Elnur Enveroglu read more Now we see how Europe and the West is united to help
Ukraine to fight against separatism. And why in our case our fight
against separatism is treated differently?
President Ilham Aliyev said these words in an interview with
Euronews TV channel yesterday.
Why Georgia's approach to separatist regions is
fully understood by Western communities and politicians, and our
legitimate, the same origin desire, to put an end to separatism is
under question?
Why Spain does not allow Catalonia to have a
referendum though there are five or six million? They don't have
their own state unlike Armenians, which have a state next door. Why
should we tolerate separatism? We will not.
While addressing these thoughts to the international community,
the President of Azerbaijan actually hinted it to some pro-Armenian
politicians in PACE and the US Congress, and at the same time to
some speculators who make a decision every day in the French
Parliament. How is it that the Armenians can wreak havoc at the
border checkpoint in Lachin as they wish, but while Azerbaijan is
strengthening control for the purpose of security measures, Europe
and the West call it a "blockade" in agreement with the
Armenians.
Let's take the Aghdam-Khankendi road proposed by the Azerbaijani
side, taking into account the favorable conditions. It is known to
everyone that Lachin road is a long journey of 51 km from the
border crossing point to Khankendi and that the road conditions are
extreme. In addition, the Aghdam-Khankendi road proposed by
Azerbaijan is 20 km long and consists of a plain. This proposal was
approved by Charles Michel, the President of the Council of the
European Union, when it was presented at the Brussels meeting.
Also, after Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan's positive
approach to this idea, it seemed inevitable that the proposal
should be implemented. But unfortunately, after the meeting, all
negotiations remained on the table for Armenia. On the contrary,
the Aghdam-Asgaran road was blocked by the separatists and the
humanitarian proposal of the Azerbaijan was rejected. Another
question arises: when Azerbaijan takes a humanitarian step and the
Armenian side rejects the proposal accepted by the President of the
Council of the European Union, why do the Western forces ignore
it?
Another issue is the Armenian minorities living in Karabakh and
the dangerous games of the separatists who keep them as prisoners.
It is clear that the remnants of Armenian separatists, who do not
think of anyone but themselves, use the people as a shield for
themselves. We observed their behavior in the kindergarten where
they took refuge under the name of Headquarters during the
Patriotic War. Today, the separatists do not hesitate to literally
massacre Azerbaijani citizens, even they make unfounded statements
to the world on their behalf.
“The Armenians in Karabakh should not follow their
so-called leaders. These“leaders” were lying to them all the time
- current and previous - before the war, during the war that they
were winning. Even when we took control of Shusha, they were
telling that Shusha was under their control. They knew it very
well. They should not become a hostage of today's clique, which
captured power in Karabakh, and whose main objective is to provide
their own interest.”
President Ilham Aliyev mentioned these ideas in his interview on
international television. The President of Azerbaijan addressed a
message to the Armenian national minorities, who are actually
considered citizens of Azerbaijan, and urged them not to follow the
path of the separatist regime.
The President's call for peace to the Armenian society is also a
message about the future. Because the current influence of the
separatists is temporary, and the forces hiding behind the
peacekeepers in Garabagh today will not be with the people
tomorrow. But this will also lead to an unpleasant fate for the
future of the residents. Because a message that is not listened to
in time is ultimately useless in future. This is exactly what
President Ilham Aliyev's statement in his answer to the
correspondent's question tries to say:
"Armenian community should not oppose peace
initiatives of international community. They should understand that
if they don't sign a peace agreement with Azerbaijan, the situation
in the future will be unpredictable."
It should be noted that Azerbaijan also promises a safe and
prosperous life for Armenian residents. Addressing this issue in
his interview, President Ilham Aliyev noted that Azerbaijan is
ready to consider the wishes of the Armenian minorities as its
citizens in all respects.
“The Karabakh Armenians should understand that being
part of the Azerbaijan society with security guarantees, with their
rights, including educational, cultural, religious, municipal
rights, they will live normal life. They will stop to be a hostage
of manipulation.”
However, as mentioned earlier, these promises are not permanent,
that is, they are closely related to the choice of Armenian
residents. To be more clear, there are two ways: either to be equal
with the separatists or to adhere to the words of the President of
the Republic of Azerbaijan. The second way is the complete end of
the conflict in the region. However, the first way is more
dangerous and can end worse for Armenia. The time for politics and
diplomacy is long over. The choice is now the simple Armenian
society.
