Armenian pundit: Pashinyan is called to Brussels to accept Baku’s conditions
REGION 28 March 2024 - 12:51
An Armenian political scientist, Hakob Badalyan, has said that the price of what will be offered to Armenia on the April 5 meeting in Brussels “will depend on Armenia’s attitude towards Azerbaijan’s offers”.
On April 5, a trilateral meeting is being prepared between Armenian Prime Minister Pashinyan, US Secretary of State Blinken, and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, with the signing of a document on security guarantees for Armenia.
“Now, when I say that the price of what will be offered to Armenia on April 5 will depend on Armenia’s attitude towards Azerbaijan’s “offers”, and not on what Armenia will be told: “Don’t be afraid, we are next to you.” And this is due to the needs arising from the global confrontation between Brussels and Washington with Russia, and not because I do not sympathize with Western values and the civilizational field, the fundamental achievements recorded in this area over the decades, and I sympathize with those who say the opposite” Badalyan, wrote on his Facebook page, according to Caliber.Az.
“But the achievements recorded over decades are one thing, and the elites currently ruling them, their political interests, interests, goals, etc. are completely different. I'm not talking about civilization, but about politics. And this is despite the fact that the same Western elites have “transformed” over the past years to such an extent that their policies are only superficially connected with Western civilization, but in a deep sense this connection no longer exists for a long time,” he added.
“Another thing is that when I talk about the political motives of those actors who do not enter into conflict with Azerbaijan, this does not mean at all that Russia or Iran, for example, have a motive to enter into this conflict. No, no one has, not even Paris,” Badalyan said.
“It’s just that Paris’ radical positioning is due to the fact that it has the least opportunities to play in the Caucasus. The fewer the options, the more limited they are compared to other major players, and the more the game is built on “radicality.” Moreover, I spoke about this after November 9, 2020, when the French National Assembly adopted a resolution “on recognizing the independence of Karabakh.” I mentioned that this was a signal from France that if you decided to leave me aside, I would “change the situation.”
This is also definitely not working, but in politics, people resort to such behaviour when there is no other working model or approach. By the way, France is doing essentially the same thing in Ukraine today, and in fact its radicalization is not directed against Russia, but against other Western players,” the political scientist writes.
