4 villages occupied by Armenia 32 years in the past and annexed to its territory have been liberated and returned to Azerbaijan. This may be thought-about an indicator of the profitable completion of the preliminary stage of the negotiations on the demarcation and delimitation of the traditional state border between Azerbaijan and Armenia.
The direct negotiations between the delegations led by the Deputy Prime Ministers of Azerbaijan and Armenia Shahin Mustafayev and Mher Grigoryan are official Baku’s critical diplomatic success. Negotiations and discussions are being carried out with out intermediaries, regardless of steady “gives” and “recommendation” from Russia and Iran, in addition to the US, France, and the European Union. This, in flip, strengthens the likelihood that the method aimed toward signing the ultimate peace settlement might be accomplished with out the participation of any subregional states, organizations or politicians.
At current, the conditional state border between Tavush (Tovuzgala) area of Armenia and Gazakh area of Azerbaijan is being legitimized, border guards of each international locations are stationed in that area and acceptable infrastructure is being created.
Relating to the villages of Yukhari Eskipara, Soyulu and Barkhudarli, that are exclaves within the territory of Armenia, within the Tavush area of our nation, related negotiations might be began concerning their launch from occupation and their switch to Azerbaijan.
Though the Armenians tried to dispute the longer term destiny of these villages, which is able to turn out to be the topic of dialogue between Baku and Yerevan, the rules of worldwide legislation have sufficiently restricted Yerevan’s synthetic maneuvering capabilities.
The truth that the three villages are the territory of Azerbaijan, they’re topic to occupation, unlawful settlements are carried out in these settlements, and so forth. since such actions are unequivocally thought-about conflict crimes, Armenia will definitely attempt to make sure appeals by referring to any worldwide norm. However since they haven’t any logical, political and authorized foundation, they are going to be evaluated solely as revanchism veiled by demagoguery, as a need to justify the occupation.
There’s nonetheless no official details about the date and venue of the negotiations concerning the destiny of the three villages. As for the additional actions of the commissions headed by Shahin Mustafayev and Mher Grigoryan, it’s doable to estimate that the topic of dialogue would be the delimitation of the road alongside the traditional state border of the Tovuz and Gadabay areas of Azerbaijan with Armenia.
In accordance with stories in Armenian media, residents of Chambarak village of Gekarkunik area (Goycha district) of Armenia noticed geodesists in mountainous areas. Allegedly, they mentioned that 12 combat-defense positions of the Armenian military might be abolished in these areas.
A lot of the mentioned positions have been created within the Nineteen Nineties, after the interval when the Armenian military started to occupy 20 % of the territory of Azerbaijan. Regardless of all its efforts, the Armenian military couldn’t enter the territories of Tovuz and Gadabay districts, apart from very small areas, and confronted the collapse of its plans to occupy part of the lands of these districts.
After the 44-day Second Karabakh Struggle, the positions of the Armenians in Tovuz and Gadabey areas, alongside the traditional state border with Armenia, have been canceled.
The method of demarcation and delimitation of the conditional state border is carried out on the idea of the navy maps of the Normal Workers of the Ministry of Protection of the previous USSR dated 1975, in addition to the declaration signed in 1991 within the metropolis of Alma-Ata.
Baku and Yerevan are serious about conducting the method primarily based on the talked about rules.
It may be mentioned that discussions about 4 villages of Gazakh area might be used as a foundation for the delimitation and demarcation of the a part of the traditional state border between Armenia and Azerbaijan within the course of Tovuz and Gadabay.
The remaining three villages of Gazakh and the village of Karki of the Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic are at the moment our exclaves remaining within the territory of Armenia.
After all, Armenia additionally has its personal situations. Iravan considers Bashkend in Azerbaijan’s Gadabey district as its territory and calls it “Artsvashen”.
Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan has repeatedly said that throughout the framework of the method of demarcation and delimitation of the traditional state border, Azerbaijan ought to return the village of Bashkend to Armenians.
As this situation of Yerevan is paradoxical, will probably be mentioned and the Armenian society needs to be prepared from now that its illusions concerning the capital could not come true.
The delimitation and demarcation of the conditional state border, the signing of the ultimate peace settlement, the restoration of communications and the launch of latest logistics routes, and at last the institution of regular interstate relations are the agenda proposed by Azerbaijan.
Armenia ought to both take an energetic half on this course of and check out to make sure steady peace and sustainable safety within the South Caucasus, or threat its statehood by following the course of narratives primarily based on the ideology of territorial claims, revanchism and zoological racism.
To place it mildly, the view of the West, which has at all times declared that it totally helps Yerevan within the peace course of, is totally different. As an alternative of attempting to make sure full safety on the Armenian aspect of the conditional state border, the European Union Monitoring Mission in Armenia (EUMA) behaves like a navy contingent and doesn’t do any of the issues it ought to do to attain peace.
Quite the opposite, the related establishments and politicians of the European Union, on the instigation of France, encourage the formation of a really harmful and false self-confidence within the political elites, particularly within the opposition, together with the Armenian authorities.
It’s these sentiments inspired by the West that push Nikol Pashinyan’s administration to create a spot between statements and actions, and encourage revanchist forces and externally managed opposition organizations to radicalize.
The church united within the “Tavush for the Motherland” motion, headed by the archbishop of the Tavush diocese of the Armenian Apostle (Apostle) Church, Vazgen Galstanyan, also called priest Bagrat, the political and monetary buildings of former presidents Robert Kocharyan and Serzh Sargsyan, the Armenian diaspora, financed from overseas, Revanchism, territorial claims and false narratives are the essence of the joint protests held by small opposition teams.
The Armenian Church, impressed by the insurance policies of the West, is now brazenly collaborating in politics, and desires to make Reverend Bagrat the prime minister.
Though roughly 600,000 {dollars} have been spent on this course of for the reason that protests started on April 19, there’s nonetheless no important mass to attain a change of energy in Armenia.
Regardless of the guarantees and temptations, the West doesn’t consider the pursuits of the Armenians, however of its personal pursuits.
Not like the desires of Armenians, that is the face of actual politics.
