TIME, ON WHOSE SIDE DOES IT WORK IN KARABAKH CONFLICT
Political scientist from Armenia Agasi Yenoqian sees no perspectives of progress in the process on Nagorno-Karabakh. The other invitee of the discussion at "Mirror" club, Republican Party member Armen Ashotian expressed a different point of view with a number of remarks.
First of all, the issue of Nagorno-Karabakh has no chance of being seriously considered separately of international global processes. Second, the settlement of the conflict for Nagorno-Karabakh requires no precedents. Third, the independence of the Republic of Nagorno-Karabakh has been recognized by almost all the participants of the peace negotiations.
It is strange that Ashotian thinks that the time works for Karabakh, its people and Armenia, while NKR, with its low development rates, can hardly earn from prolongations in the peace process on Karabakh.
Referring to the principle of national self-determination and integrity of state, Ashotian said that the issue of Nagorno-Karabakh is by no means related with the territorial integrity of Azerbaijan.
Yenoqian did nor agree with this and said that the international law works only in case the forces of the sides are equal. Therefore, he said, the international rights principles will work for the interests of the side which proves stronger.
Yenoqian added that the time cannot work for Artsakh in present conditions, as in 1988 the population of NKR counted 180 thousand (of which Azeris made 20%) and nowadays it counts 50-60 thousand people. "Good life conditions for a numerous Armenian population in Karabakh are not provided at present, while settling the question of the borders and the independence of Karabakh would ensure those life conditions," he noted.
To Yenoqian's figures Ashotian opposed, stating that the Armenian population of Karabakh makes at present 100 thousand people, saying nothing of the 20 thousand military corpse. Nevertheless he admitted that those numbers are nothing to be proud with.
He also said that Azerbaijan has lost the chance of implementing independent policy on Nagorno-Karabakh due to its oil deals. On the contrary, Yenoqian stated that oil brings great profits to Azerbaijan, while Armenia has stalemated itself by clinging to Russia's interests.
"The whole foreign policy of Armenia, as well as the economy, depends on Russia," said Enoqian.
Discussions of the issue of Nagorno-Karabakh on any level are important, but if it is becoming a theme for insinuations and sophism the national interests of the Armenian people suffers greatly. In any case we should always remember that despite of all its defects the propaganda machine of Azerbaijan is still at work and does not miss a single chance do defame the international authority of Armenia. Revising once again all the arguments we are finally coming to conclusion that the time works for the eternity, and not any of the sides.
