MP says no country ready to enter into conflict with Azerbaijan over Garabagh Armenians

Democratic Alternative party Chairman Suren Surenyants has said that although Pashinyan's ouster will no longer save Garabagh, it will at least aid in preserving Armenia.

"Today Nagorno-Karabakh [Garabagh] has lost all components of subjectivity. In the current situation, it is pointless to even discuss any option involving Garabagh’s political autonomy. Roughly speaking, we have no resources to define ‘red lines’. Now we can talk about the right of Armenians to live in Garabagh. This question should be formulated directly to the Russian side: Do they guarantee this right to Armenians or should we think about a humanitarian corridor and evacuation of our compatriots?” the chairman wrote on his Facebook page, Caliber.Az reports.

According to him, the proposals ascribed by Russia are very bad, but if adopted by Baku they would at least guarantee the right to life of Garabagh Armenians with minimal security guarantees.

“It is easy to criticise the Russian proposals, in which case let the opponents publicise the Western proposals, unless, of course, they are concerned with the deportation of Garabagh Armenians.

Time and the international context are working against us. If political solutions are not found now, we will have to pay a higher price in two or three months.

The Russian peacekeeping mission is fulfilling its mandate in a very bad faith. There is no point in arguing here. However, calls/exhortations to invite an international peacekeeping mission to Garabagh are detached from reality and are vulgar manipulations. The UN and OSCE will not make such a decision, and Azerbaijan will not even discuss such a proposal. There is no country in the world [not even France] that is ready to enter into a violent conflict with Azerbaijan and Türkiye for the sake of Armenia, much less for the sake of Garabagh Armenians.

A possible change of power in Armenia will not change the negotiation context at the global level but it will return Armenia's subjectivity. The Pashinyan government has not only destroyed Garabagh, but as a result of its lack of political will and agenda, populism and adventurism, it has deprived Armenia of its actual subjectivity, turning it into an object of negotiations," Surenyants writes.
