A couple of years ago a famous Russian philosopher, talking about what future Armenia can choose in the new world order, said that Armenia could become an experimental “network” nation-state without a sovereign territory.
Apparently, the policy of the Armenian government follows this line – a quasi-state without a certain territory, national policy, a unique crypto market where everything is virtual and only cash, tolma and festivals are real. Such a quasi-state does not need an army, security is a ghost, and nationality doesn’t matter.
The first step toward such a state is to get rid of the Artsakh issue and national interests and replace the national policy with “democratic development”, though in normal states democracy is the best way to defend national interests.
The key to world security and peace is democracy. The Nagorno Karabakh conflict is still a human rights issue at this stage, Arusyak Julhakyan, a representative of the ruling Civil Contract party, said at the PACE session. “Categories that have long been rejected by modern Europe, such as historical justice, historical lands, are only a way to mislead people, to create opportunities for external intervention,” she said.
Try to grab “historical lands” from any democratic country, then you will understand what democracy is. And while Armenia is against the “historical lands” and is getting rid of Artsakh, Russia is establishing checkpoints along the virtual border of Armenia, turning Armenia into a real base, and Ankara and Baku are going to get a real corridor through the virtual territory of Armenia.
Vahagn Khachaturyan, the President of Armenia also believes that it is not the time to talk about “historical lands”. “We have to be realistic. If you declare that Artsakh cannot be part of Azerbaijan, you lose the right to maneuver. “We must be able to distinguish politics and diplomacy from populism and public statements,” Khachaturyan said with a clever expression on his face on public television.
