    Division of Azerbaijan Is Back on Agenda
    IGOR MURADYAN

    Story from Lragir.am News:

    The Azerbaijanis cling to cliches which they think are rather
    convincing, such as "1 million refugees, 20% of territory", and so on.

    There is another parrot "argument", namely Armenia is not an
    independent state. It should be noted that in the modern world the
    societies with complexes are obsessed with this issue of independence.

    Apparently, the Azerbaijanis who remind of the independence of
    Armenia so often are trying to convince themselves that their own
    state is rather independent. Is it impossible to take account of the
    fact that despite such strong support from outside to Azerbaijan's
    "territorial integrity" it is unable to return under its control the
    province of Karabakh?

    In addition, Russia has been rather interested and consistent in
    returning Karabakh to Azerbaijan in the past few years, the country
    on which Armenia was thought to depend. In the past three years,
    Russia put on the table its policy on regional energy infrastructures
    and set to convince Armenia of the need for concessions. As a result,
    the Russian political actors appeared in a funny and prejudicial state,
    being unable to promote the interests of Russia.

    The great powers finally changed their stance preferring to benefit
    from the situation which they used to consider as dangerous for the
    region and their interests. Moreover, each political figure of a great
    power, starting from M. Gorbachev, tried first of all to take care
    of their own reputation which would be damaged by failure of their
    initiative regarding Karabakh.

    And now Azerbaijan is trying to address its destiny and protect its own
    interests ruling out all the folkloric attempts of external character
    and protects its interests in accordance with the interests of the
    United States, not Turkey, because only the Americans are able to
    guarantee its security.

    It should be understood that Russia has to accept everything that
    Armenia plans for the Western direction, and this is the condition
    lying at the heart of the Armenian and Russian relations. Azerbaijan
    is an interim state and is unable to stand external resistance for a
    long time. Now the division of Azerbaijan is again on the agenda. This
    is the topic of the debate rather than empty talks about independence.
