A friend of mine from Moscow, a Russian expert on Caucasus issues,
made a small remark regarding my article entitled "Sarajevo" in
Armenia" published in Lragir.am. "Hello Igor and thanks for the link.
Just a small remark: the Russian Institute of Strategic Studies has no
relation to the Federal Security Service. The RISS has been and is
affiliated with the Foreign Intelligence Service. The FSS and FIS, as
we know, are at sword's points. The presidential administration, to a
greater extent (at the CIS front) is linked to the FIS though
tendencies of tug of war can be felt there. Actually, this attempt is
not Moscow's handwriting. Best regards". I gladly accept this remark
as this expert has always acted bravely in the most difficult
situations relating to the events in the Caucasus and has always had a
critical attitude towards the Russian intelligence services and
specialists. I don't doubt his sincerely patriotic position. Along
with this, it turns out that not only FSS but also FIS is related to
lobby of Azerbaijan's interests. Why not? In the mid 2000s in regard
to Ara Abrahamyan's initiative to set up the World Armenian
Association, this issue was elaborated in certain countries of the
Diaspora by FIS while the position of this organization appeared
strange. Now, one "Armenian project" has ended since Ara Abrahamyan
has managed quite delicately to "pull out" the idea of establishment
of a center of governance of the Armenian Diaspora in Moscow. Earlier,
FIS had worked out for the political leadership of Moscow the
"pattern" and the solution of the Karabakh issue. Interestingly, in a
number of phases of development of Russian plans on the Karabakh issue
a lot of Russian "civil" experts didn't want to exchange themselves
for conjuncture-related problems, and offered help which did not leave
a high degree of freedom to the civilized development of unrealistic
plans to return Karabakh under Azerbaijan's control. Due to such
behavior of a lot of Russian experts the institutions charged with
these developments had to resort to the services of profanes and
villains. We should say that the activities of the Russian institutes
and certain experts in regard to problems dealing with national
security of Armenia (even in a remote context) during many years have
been tracked and now those activities are perceived well. In this
regard the Armenian "experts" had better understand that their work
for undermining Armenian national interests is studied very well.
Isn't it time to consider Russian citizenship? So, we say FSS and mean
a lot of other things.
