Passions are heating up in Armenia and Artsakh over the upcoming
Sargsyan-Aliyev meeting in Kazan. Recent events made clear the
readiness of the Armenian side to concessions and deployment of
peacekeepers in Aghdam and Fizuli. By the way, some sources say that
the foreign minister Edward Nalbandyan has met with NKR President Bako
Sahakyan and Ara Haruytunyan and discussed the peacekeepers' issue.
They said they prefer the status quo.
The story of the deployment of peacekeepers is as old as the hills.
Serzh Sargsyan with his thesis "Aghdam is not our homeland" has done a
lot of work in this relation. Later, in his interview with the Russian
Radio Echo Moskvi, the President elaborated on this idea saying that
Armenia had established control over several regions of Azerbaijan
for security reasons.
These statements caused the indignation of the society. A number
of underground groups started working out strategies for such
developments. I have recently talked to a group of Armenians in the
United Stated who said to be indignant over this process and shared
with me their ideas on possible actions they would take if an attempt
to return a single territory is made.
A possible compromise in Kazan would act as a bomb for the Armenian
society. The rules of this game will change both in Artsakh and
Armenia, and some other way out can threaten to the actors of the
concession process. The question whether Serzh Sargsyan and Levon
Ter-Petrosyan might share the destiny of Yitzhak Rabin has been
asked recently. This question can be answered only after possible
concessions in Kazan.
As to the President's thesis "Aghdam is not our homeland", it cannot
apply to everyone since Aghdam is my homeland and its protection from
Azerbaijan and from peacekeepers is my personal duty.
