THE FATE OF KARABAKH SHOULD NOT BE TURNED INTO A TOUCHSTONE

No doubt Member of Parliament Raffi Hovannisian cares for Karabakh
who proposed that the National Assembly recognize Nagorno-Karabakh
Republic. Also there is no doubt that those who think the recognition
will not give anything and is untimely also care for Karabakh. Perhaps
Raffi Hovannisian and anyone else who wants to launch the recognition
of Karabakh or anything else in the Armenian parliament should first
start preparing for that move.
Before proposing the bill on the recognition in this parliament of
Armenia it is necessary to launch cognition of wisdom. In other words,
the present parliament with its outstanding majority needs to learn
wisdom first. How can most parliamentarians recognize it before they
can cognize something else? How can a member of parliament recognize
the independence of Nagorno-Karabakh Republic unless he knows where
it was produced, the volume of the engine, power mirrors and windows,
the year when it was brought to Yerevan? Or how can he recognize
Nagorno-Karabakh if he does not know on which street it is and what
kind of food they offer.
Hence, it is better to wait, it is highly undesirable to propose a
bill on the recognition of Karabakh. It is first necessary to teach a
course of geography and a course of political science, show footages
of Kocharyan-Aliyev meetings and explain that they are speaking about
the Karabakh issue. The Armenian parliament is not such a primitive
creature to immediately solve any issue offered to it. They may even
need a beginner course, the alphabet, at least for a review. Hence,
the fate of Nagorno-Karabakh should not be used as a touchstone in
the Armenian parliament. Indeed, in Armenia and Karabakh many and in
many places play with the fate of NKR, so why shouldn't the Armenian
parliament do?
However, at some point playing with the fate of Karabakh should be
stopped. If they have no other games to play, they can hang the boots
on the wall and sit on the stands. They need not hope that Karabakh
may become an Olympic event, and they will ever participate in the
Olympic Games. There can be no achievement in this game, only losses,
the loss of Karabakh.
