    WEST IS ABLE TO WAIT, OR ABOUT NERVOUSNESS AMONG DASHNAKS

    The Bureau of the Armenian Revolutionary Federation "Dashnaktsutun"
    has recently made a statement, calling the government of their country
    to raise the issue of signing a legal document on non-application of
    military force against Nagorno Karabakh.

    "Armenian side should protect its national and state interests in the
    negotiation process more clearly and demand from the parties to sign
    a document on non-application of force", says the statement.

    The party noted that one of the main tasks for Armenia is the issue
    of ratification of the right of "Nagorno Karabakh people to determine
    their fate independently". The announcement also says that the recent
    events around South Ossetia showed that "Azerbaijan's attempt to
    settle the issue by force does not only lack prospects but can lead
    to unpredictable disasters in the region". At the same time, the
    party bureau also considered the security of the Armenian-settled
    Samtse-Javakheti region of Georgia, which it regards as the issue of
    "ensuring rights of national minorities and autonomy".

    First of all, it should be noted that Samtse-Javakheti is not an
    autonomy and the desired should not set up for the reality in such hard
    days for Georgia. Second, we hope that there will not be an autonomy in
    that region, especially considered the frustrating historical lesson of
    how Armenians abuse the autonomy, offered to them, and demand more in
    the future. To those, who doubt, we recommend to visit the website of
    Samtse-Javakheti Armenians and pay attention to the tone of articles,
    published there.

    Speaking on the "legally binding document" on the non-application
    of force, it is unclear, with whom Azerbaijan should sign it. With
    Nagorno Karabakh powers?

    Well, but Nagorno Karabakh is not a subject of international law and
    UN Secretary General Pan Gui Mun will be surprised if he receives
    a document, signed by the "president" of a state, he does not have
    an idea of. Moreover, Nizami Bahmanov has nothing to worry about -
    Azerbaijan does not intend to attack his people.

    Perhaps, with Armenia? It is even more interesting. How can one sign
    a treaty on non-application of force with a state, which invaded
    its territory and does not even think to leave it? Let Armenia first
    withdraw its troops and then Azerbaijan will sign a treaty with it
    on mutual respect of sovereignty and non-application of force.

    Well, whom should we sign the document with?

    It seems that following the diplomatic disgrace and international
    isolation, which Russia deserved owing to its clumsy policy in such a
    vulnerable region as the Caucasus, Moscow's footmen started to search
    a new place on the map of the world, in order to be too close to the
    disgraced Russia, on the one hand, and not to lose their unpopular
    idiot dreams of expanding their territories by means of their
    neighbors and by violating the principle of territorial integrity,
    on the other hand. The events of the past week showed that few have
    not voiced the phrase "respect for territorial integrity" at least
    once through those days.

    In this connection, the nervousness among Dashnaks is quite
    understandable. They try to conceal the unpopular thesis and
    even the term of the national right for self-determination is
    unexpectedly replaced with the abstract "right to determine one's
    fate independently". At the same time, Dashnaks does not even recall
    (and do not dare to challenge) the territorial integrity of Azerbaijan,
    in order to escape the possible criticism by the world society.

    This week the whole world confirmed the supremacy of the territorial
    integrity! And any references to the whims of national minorities,
    residing in any territories, their having passports of other states
    and other arguments are not a legal ground for their separation
    from the state with the territory they reside in. According to
    famous analyst from German Marshall's foundation Yorg Himmelreich,
    "Russia's attack was a rude violation of the territorial sovereignty
    of Georgia and no Russian passports of Abkhaz and Ossetians can be a
    legal ground for such actions". In his article in Spiegel newspaper,
    another German analyst Christian Haif informs of the consequences,
    threatening to the most capricious "rebelling" peoples, who do not
    want to hear anything about the territorial integrity. In particular,
    his vision of the resolution of the conflicts in Georgia lies in the
    resettlement of the Ossetians from Tkhinvali region to Russia and
    possible provision of an autonomy to Abkhazs within Georgia.

    If the authors of the announcement of Dashnaktsutun's bureau do not
    want their Karabakh relatives to share the same fate, which was, by
    the way, successfully probed in the Sudet oblast of Czechoslovakia,
    Krain province of Croatia and other places, instead of releasing
    such absurd statements, they should persuade their compatriots to
    stop hindering the process and accept what the world will oblige
    Moscow and its fifth columns in Georgia to accept (this also refers
    to Transdniestria and Nagorno Karabakh). They will not be able to go
    beyond an autonomy within Georgia (at the best).

    When the world said clearly that the Kosovo model will not be applied
    anywhere else, Armenians hoped that it was a joke. That is why, they
    deprived themselves of an oil pipeline, a gas pipeline and a railroad
    and many other things for they Moscow's support. But at present Moscow
    does not know what to do with itself from disgrace. World's position
    will never change, whatever Armenian diaspora does. The train has
    gone, bye-bye.

    And Russia's stubbornness will not rescue Ossetian and Abkhazs from
    returning back to Georgia. Whatever Russia does, West will have
    to wait until the government in Russia is replaced (either through
    another orange revolution or evolutionary), for the new pro-western
    Russian government to surrender its "dear" citizens, like Western
    Germany was once surrendered. West is able to wait.

    And we will also wait for this moment to come.
