ARMENIA MADE A PLOT WITH THE WEST
- The Armenian government assumed an obligation before the West to mitigate every manifestation of the problem of Javakheti. The expert cannot mention the price of this commitment saying that it can be different, especially that elections in Armenia are drawing nearer. Igor Muradyan made this almost sensational statement October 17 at the National Press Club. He said he is acquainted with the situation in Javakheti, the developments, the international political approaches towards this region, and he can draw such a conclusion. He says the West instructs Armenia on this question even on lower levels, such as the head of the political department of the embassy.
With regard to the problem, Igor Muradyan first presented the pre-election situation in Javakheti, saying that it was a stage of active formation of NGOs. According to Igor Muradyan, these NGOs had close ties with the Armenian government. This guaranteed their existence. On the other hand, they are turned into marionettes and a mere source of information. In this context, Igor Muradyan highlights the emergence of the United Javakheti Alliance, which represents the young and educated youth of Javakheti, the expert says, which has a clear idea of the problems of the region and rejects the cunning proposals of the government. Therefore, Igor Muradyan says this organization appeared in the focus of attention of the Georgian government, and does not get support from Armenia. Igor Muradyan says the Armenian ruling sets tried to talk to them but they were unable to mislead the youth from their standpoint and their approach does not fit into the government policy on mitigating the problems connected with Javakheti conducted by official Yerevan.
“I think decisions are not based on the relation with Georgia but on the relation with the West. At first this sounds fantastic because a local issue for the international community is concerned. But in reality it is not. The United States and NATO are interested in this region. The state of things in this region determines the success of the entire Eurasian policy,” says Igor Muradyan.
According to him, the international community’s official police is to prevent this problem from becoming an international problem, and mitigate possible tensions, “and create an impression that there is no interest in reality.” Igor Muradyan says the Armenian government fulfills this wish of the West, and when serious forces emerged in Javakheti, which are capable of raising the issues of the region, Armenia made efforts to stop them, dissolving these movements. Igor Muradyan adduces the example that the Armenian government arrested one of the leaders of United Javakheti Vahagn Chakhalyan on an absurd charge.
“But I know what international policies are implemented and who are involved in it. The problem of the South Caucasus has been monopolized, maximum 6-7 people deal with it. In Europe it is Xavier Solana, in the United States government it is Daniel Fried. The evaluations of experts are put under the table. But a year ago it offended the experts that they do not get public attention, and they published their conclusions. And it is mentioned that the domestic policy of Georgia contains elements of fascism. Since 1945 no other country was described as such, whereas this country is the partner of the West,” says Igor Muradyan.
According to him, the U.S.-Turkish relation depends on the fate of Javakheti. According to the expert, Georgia is unable to solve the problem of security, and he thinks it is possible that in the future we will witness the U.S. military presence in Javakheti. “It should be noted for the democratic community of Armenia, if it there is one, that there is an Armenian-Georgian plot. But it is impossible to explain the situation by this only. Our people should pursue the recognition of existence of such a problem now,” says Igor Muradyan. He says the impression that Russia is active in Javakheti is false. Muradyan even says that unfortunately Russia is doomed to idleness.
“It seems that Russia is active. And what did it do? It did what is on the surface. It took the steps that every Russian member of parliament knew,” says Igor Muradyan. He is against the claims for administrative independence of Javakheti. “The salary of state-financed workers in Javakheti is 1.5 million dollars. The budget of Javakheti will not be enough because it is about 250 thousand dollars, excluding foreign transfers,” says the expert, mentioning that it is absurd to put forward territorial claims because there is no possibility to set down the rights.
“And these young people understand this very well,” says Igor Muradyan, mentioning that it was explained to them through the materials of European and American experts, which clarify the picture of the prosect of Javakheti in the context of the international policy. Igor Muradyan thinks the way out is to release the arrested young man from United Javakheti, the return of the members of the organization to the sakrebulo, in other words, the recognition of the outcome of the local election in Javakheti, although Igor Muradyan thinks that in reality this outcome was achieved through administrative levers. The experts emphasizes the resumption of the political process in the regional sacrebulo which should raise the local issues in turn, including the issue of the Armenian issue. As to what Armenia should do, Igor Muradyan says, “Armenia had better do nothing.”
