The Armenian society is furious about Nikolay Rizhkov's pronouncement.
He announced in Yerevan that the issue of Artsakh should not be
compared with Crimea because Crimea is historically Russian land. In
other words, according to Rizhkov, Artsakh is not historical land.
Rizhkov is not some Russian expert. He has a status, an official one.
He is the co-chair of some Armenian-Russian parliamentary thing.
It is assumed that someone of the parliamentary majority should have
responded to Rizhkov properly, addressing him and informing him that
Artsakh is Armenian territory. The Armenian foreign minister may also
have said something if it existed de facto.
However, if Rizhkov and any Russian official had ever suspected that
their statements in Armenia would have received an official response,
they would have refrained from making half of their statements.
Since they are confident that all they will encounter will be silence,
Rizhkov may announce that "Karabakh is not our homeland", and then
attend Serzh Sargsyan's reception because he also thinks that "Aghdam
is not our homeland". Rizhkov and Sargsyan will have a lot of common
topics to discuss.
Meanwhile, let the society talk as much as it wants. Sargsyan and
Rizhkov are sure that Armenia's membership to the Eurasian Economic
Union stems from the interests of both countries. It does not matter
which two countries because the topic is common: Serzh Sargsyan,
for example, may think that his decision stems from the interests of
Armenia and Russia while Rizhkov may think that Armenia's membership
to the Eurasian Economic Union stems from the interests of Russia
and Azerbaijan.
It is not important, it is important that they both think that it
stems from the interests of two countries, and even if Azerbaijan is
not there, those countries will be Russia and Turkey.
