Baku/28.09.23/Turan: In a significant development, the leader of the separatist regime, Samvel Shahramanyan, has issued a decree to terminate the existence of the self-proclaimed "Nagorno-Karabakh Republic" (Artsakh). This action signals the dissolution of all "state institutions" and "organizations" associated with this regime by January 1, 2024.
As the region grapples with this historic transformation, political commentator Zardusht Alizadeh offers insights into the situation during the "Difficult Question" program.
Alizadeh highlights the importance of recognizing the fundamental right of Karabakh Armenians to live in their homeland. He emphasizes that the Azerbaijani leadership should actively encourage the return of Armenians to Karabakh, understanding that the mass exodus of Armenians could potentially become a future leverage point against Azerbaijan. Alizadeh recommends that measures be taken at the state level to ensure the Armenians' presence in the region.
While acknowledging that not all Armenians may choose to stay, Alizadeh believes that conditions can be established to facilitate the retention of tens of thousands of Armenians in Karabakh. This could involve granting Armenians the rights and freedoms stipulated by law, while simultaneously ensuring that Azerbaijanis enjoy the same rights. Alizadeh underscores the need to monitor officials to prevent violations of Azerbaijani rights.
Furthermore, Alizadeh expresses hope for the acceleration and expansion of reconstruction efforts in Karabakh, as three years have passed with limited progress. He advocates for the allocation of funds not only to large companies but also to citizens, which would potentially expedite the return of people to their ancestral lands. However, he remains skeptical about the distribution of large sums directly to the population by Azerbaijani authorities.
Alizadeh also emphasizes the importance of involving Karabakh and its Armenian population in the restoration process. This engagement could foster greater unity between Azerbaijani and Armenian communities and facilitate the integration of Armenians into Azerbaijani society.--0--
