    "Nikolai Ryzhkov tries to bring unsuccessful arguments"

    November 1 2014


    The Head of the Armenian Institute for International and Security
    Affairs, Styopa Safaryan, considers the Crimea-NKR comparisons made by
    Nikolai Ryzhkov, Co-Chair of the Armenian-Russian Inter-Parliamentary
    Commission, inequitable. Note that Ryzhkov did not want to compare the
    NKR and Crimea, claiming that there is a significant difference.
    "Crimea is historically a Russian territory, we were one territory for
    centuries and whether it is our fault that Khrushchev gave it to
    Ukraine in drunk. Crimean residents at their own will decided by
    referendum to join the composition of Russia, so what we were supposed
    to do, to tell them, no, do not enter into your native territory?" "He
    had brought obviously inequitable and baseless argument. Much longer,
    if not a few hundred years, like it is with Crimea, then a few
    thousand years ago, Karabakh was inhabited by Armenians and was a part
    of the Armenian kingdom. Ryzhkov would be better to be acquainted with
    the maps of the ancient Armenia to see where Armenia's sources end.
    Until the times when there was no Russia, Russian Empire and even the
    Crimea. If it comes to handing over the Crimea to Ukraine by
    Khrushchev in drunk, then it is worth saying that Stalin being
    extremely sober and with extremely far-sighted calculations, to
    receive the Muslim world support for his world-wide revolution and in
    exchange for the award to Azerbaijan for its Sovietization,
    surrendered to Azerbaijan, accordingly, Mr. Ryzhkov either is not
    obviously familiar with historical events, or tries to bring
    unsuccessful arguments. Perhaps, we can agree on one issue with
    Ryzhkov that the Crimea and the Nagorno-Karabakh are different in the
    sense that Karabakh's self-determination is an exemplary precedent
    after the Cold War, whereas Crimea is its theatrical performances,
    indeed, a Russian invasion," said Mr. Safaryan. He specifies Ryzhkov's
    viewpoint by the chaos created under the Eurasian Economic Union.
    "Because if the question arises on positioning of customs checkpoint
    between Nagorno-Karabakh and Armenia, then the same approach should be
    implied to Russia, on the border with Crimea. Therefore, this
    viewpoint is associated with growing great debate, which was not put
    by Armenia prior to accession to the EaEU, but there is a risk for it
    to blow-up in the future, if someone, let's say Kazakhstan, raises
    such an issue."
