Baku / 27.12.22 / Turan: The promise made by Russian peacekeepers to the Armenian side that the Lachin corridor will be open by December 26 has not been fulfilled.
For this reason, today a group of Karabakh Armenians intends to demand an explanation from the commander of the peacekeepers, General Volkov.
On Friday, a group of Karabakh Armenians moved to the peacekeeping post near Khankendi and demanded the opening of the corridor, Armenian media reported.
On Monday, the action was repeated. Negotiations with the deputy commander of the peacekeepers did not produce any results. According to Armenian telegram channels, the unnamed officer admitted that he had not received an order from Moscow to open the road. According to him, the road will be open as soon as the order is received.
Rauf Mirgadirov, a political observer, talks about the latest events in the Lachin corridor, as well as the processes around the Karabakh issue in the Difficult Question program.
According to him, to find an answer to the question “How will the protest action of eco-activists on the Lachin road and the rallies held in Khankendi by the separatists end?” not so easy.
“For this, at least, you need to know what Vladimir Putin, Ilham Aliyev and Nikol Pashinyan think. But, I do not have telepathic abilities,” the observer said, noting that, in fact, the demands of eco-activists are completely fair and legitimate.
“There are no questions and cannot be. But the achievement of the goals set is carried out in a completely absurd form,” Mirkadyrov emphasized.
In his opinion, the problem has objects and subjects.
“The subjects of this problem are Putin, Aliyev and Pashinyan, who signed the well-known Statement of November 10. At the same time, "peacekeepers" and eco-activists are just objects of the problem.
"Peacekeepers" do not decide anything and are unable to influence anything. It's just a tool - it's the military ready to follow the order of the one to whom they swore allegiance. The only thing they can do is follow or not follow the order. But, of course, their direct duty is to follow orders,” he explained.
According to Mtrkadyrov, outwardly the protests of eco-activists look like they are addressed to the Russian peacekeeping contingent (RPK). Although it is clear that in fact the addressee is not RMK.
“Demanding anything from RMK is absurd. In fact, eco-activists should demand from the Azerbaijani government that it raise issues of concern to the Azerbaijani public before the Russian government during negotiations,” he said. –0—
