The U.S. Ambassador to Armenia John Heffern has revealed several
details on the special operation of the Armenian armed forces to
recover the bodies of the crew of downed helicopter. He said the
embassy was following the developments attentively and consulting the
Department of State after every meeting with the ministers and deputy
ministers of defense and foreign affairs. The purpose was to
understand what happened and start work with the sides to avoid an
escalation.
Heffern told News.am he had been impressed by how important it was to
the minister to return the bodies of the three pilots to their
families to bury them with dignity and expressed his respect for his
ability to get this work done, adding that Minister Ohanyan has asked
for one thing - a statement by the OSCE Minsk Group co-chairs to urge
Azerbaijan to help return the bodies of the soldiers.
Note that after the special operation the spokesman for the U.S.
Department of State Radtke announced that the United States was
following attentively the operation of the Armenian armed forces. And
the French Ambassador Charpentier had announced on the eve that France
will do everything to return the relics of the Armenian pilots. The
other co-chair - Russia which is in a close military and political
relationship with Azerbaijan - did not make any statement.
The minister of defense Seiran Ohanyan said the Armenian armed forces
carried out the special operation without waiting for the outcome of
diplomatic efforts. And his spokesman said there are secrets which
they cannot reveal.
One circumstance becomes clear from the words of the U.S. ambassador
which is highly important in the world. Heffern says he was impressed
by the importance of return of bodies of three pilots for the
minister. This is the humanitarian aspect, the human-centered approach
to the situation.
This is an acknowledgement of the new quality of the Armenian armed
forces when the armed forces are able to resolve not only military
issues but also put forth universal values - legitimize the special
operation. This language is understood by the civilized world and is
followed by large-scale international support that enables preventing
tension and losses.
Perhaps this is the greatest secret of the special operation.
It was proved that the Armenian armed forces have grown from purely
military skills to a political factor and an adequate international
partner whose special operation is admired by the civilization pole.
The Armenian army is growing from the stereotyped "power generates
right" to the philosophy of an adequate civilization "awareness of
right generates power".
Power generates right is the self-excuse of weak, defeated, conformist
societies. The philosophy "awareness of power generates right" is the
belief of strong, progressive societies which are aware of their
rights and responsibility.
The Armenian armed forces have upheld another important circumstance.
There is always an alternative, and the alternative is the faith in
one's own self, the ability to make sovereign decisions and adequacy
to the logic of global processes. This is appreciated in the world.
>From this point of view, a dangerous gap has occurred in Armenia the
political and economic systems of which never became adequate to this
logic, pushing Armenia into anti-civilization projects, leaving the
rare of the Armenian army and state bare.
Interestingly, Heffern made his statements after meetings with
different parliamentary groups. He is said to have inquired about the
Eurasian integration, and the Armenian members of parliament told him
that there is no alternative. There is no alternative from the grave
only, the old Russian saying is.
There is no alternative to those who are not capable of creating it.
