Armenians Argue What in Karabakh Is Better to Surrender to Azerbaijan

Baku / 20.10.20 / Turan: Defeat moods are growing among the Armenians, caused by the flight of the Armenian army and the unwillingness of Armenians to fight with Azerbaijan. On October 19, Karen Shakhnazarov, a Moscow film director and general director of Mosfilm, surprised everyone in the television studio by proposing his plan to end the war in Karabakh. He said that the Armenians need to understand the reality and fight for the status of “NKR within Azerbaijan”. And that a Russian military base in Karabakh can become a guarantor of their security. All areas of the former so-called "security belt", including Lachin, must be handed over to Baku," K. Shakhnazarov, the son of M. Gorbachev's advisor, suggested.

Azerbaijanis living in Russia report to Turan about the total disregard by the Armenians there of Nikol Pashinyan's calls to hastily leave their affairs, collect aid for the army and return for the war for Karabakh.

“They won't send anything there. Here they also collected money for the army, as a result, now the Armenians have a showdown, they do not know where the money is, where it went, who appropriated it. They raised 20 million rubles, but the money did not reach the addressees. The Armenian community cannot connect two words in order to answer. A fabulous nation ... Now they collect clothes, food, toothpaste, bandages, brilliant green, etc. They will collect, but where will they send it and to whom? It is a riddle,” writes an Azerbaijani from the south of Russia.

“Moreover, they have these fees all year round. Now it is more active because of the war, and so the slogans are constantly “you know how bad and poor our republic lives, let's help”.

We have many communities: Circassian, Greek, Azerbaijani, Assyrian, but only Armenians gather and whine forever,” he added.

Another reader from the same region of the Russian Federation tells about the local Armenians, who during the war all sharply became boring, their faces sullen, rested on their cell phones and watched videos of the Karabakh war.

The reader knows only one local Armenian guy who went to Karabakh, from Russia. But his brothers, who own a car repair shop, remain with their business. A house-building company operates nearby, in which from the owner to the workers are Armenians. Everyone remained with their business, their money and business turned out to be higher than Karabakh.

This attitude of Armenian men to Pashinyan's calls to fight against Azerbaijanis does not solve the problem of the lack of manpower in the Armenian army. Therefore, Armenian analysts are discussing options for renting out the lands they have occupied. The Armenian press again recalled Paul Goble's forgotten plan about the exchange of territories between Azerbaijan and Armenia.

Russia will not fight with Azerbaijan. And Azerbaijan will not leave the territories that it has already occupied,” writes Albert Hakobyan (Urumov) in the article “Farewell, unwashed Karabakh- Pashinyan is taking Armenia to the West” published on October 19 (2020) in the Moscow pro-Armenian website Eadaily.com.

 “Russia will not fight with Azerbaijan. And Azerbaijan will not leave the territories that it has already occupied. But today there are still some chances to preserve the triangle with "stones" in which the soul of Armenia is...

The Armenians will have to give up the Sarsang reservoir, which is of great importance for the lowland Karabakh, and the hydroelectric power station, which gives NK about half of the electricity. These losses are irreplaceable. Just like the northern route linking Karabakh with Armenia, it will not be difficult to lead south to the west of the reservoir. Perhaps Baku will consider it reasonable to exchange such a Karabakh triangle for Meghri and Berd regions. The connection of Armenia with Iran and Azerbaijan with Turkey through small exchanges is ensured by the X-shaped border junction in the area of ​​the Sadarak Bridge - the current Azerbaijan-Turkey corridor...

Nevertheless, I would like to warn the parties involved. In a desperate situation, the Kremlin will intervene. Not for Pashinyan, but because the concession may have a bad effect on the moods of Ankara, Kiev, and you never know anyone else. That is a burden of the empire, what can you do. For example, it will introduce a contingent to Karabakh and express hope for understanding from Baku. And for Pashinyan, in any case, it's time to think about the fact that the dacha in Rostov still needs to be earned. After what he has done, here, and not in California or Paris, there will be the safest place for him...” analyzed Albert Hakobyan (Urumov).---0---------
