Organization for Karabakh Liberation: "If Armenia tries to recognize "independence" of Nagorno Karabakh, Azerbaijan will have to initiate military actions against Armenians" The Organization for Karabakh Liberation condemns the continued pressure on Georgia by Russia and Russia's attempt to recognize "independence" of the formations on its territory, says a statement, released by the Organization for Karabakh Liberation.
The statement notes that these actions aim at execution of empire ambitions in the region.
"Russia openly opposes the western countries. A new military and political situation is forming in the region. Azerbaijan should correctly assess the established situation, take a determined and firm position and be ready to a complicated situation. Azerbaijan should take determined steps against Russia's occupational intentions", says the statement.
The organization says that the first step, which Azerbaijan should take, is to reject the Russian co-chairmanship in the OSCE Minsk Group.
"If Armenia, prompted by Russia, tries to recognize the so-called "independence" of the regime in Nagorno Karabakh, Azerbaijan should immediately start military actions against Armenia occupants.
For this purpose our country should inform international organizations and carry out serious preliminary work both inside the country and out of its bounds", says the statement.
The organization states that the repeated occupation of the region by Russia by Armenia's help should not be admitted, it is necessary to take purposeful steps for liberation of the occupied lands of Azerbaijan.
"For this purpose, it is necessary to join efforts, will of people and the state and demonstrate single position", says the statement. |

Forcing Azerbaijan to peace" by Armenia and Russia |
August of 2008 may enter the history of Azerbaijan as a period of determination of our country's fate, as there is a real threat to its territorial integrity.
Armenia, which occupied Azerbaijani lands under Russia's support, has passed to an active pressure on our country in the negotiation process on the resolution of the Armenian-Azerbaijani conflict over Nagorno Karabakh.
This pressure is put again under support of Russia, which, by its occupation of Georgia and open support of separatism, openly demonstrated to Armenians whose side it will take in the Karabakh conflict. In fact, Armenia and Russia are now forcing Azerbaijan to peace, which is profitable for Armenia and Russia, but which is a disgrace for Azerbaijan and dangerous for the further territorial integrity of our country.
After Russia openly occupied Georgia, the bellicose and self-confident statements from Armenian side have become more frequent. Notably, that they are voiced by either representatives of Armenian powers or Armenian opposition.
Thus, the first president of Armenia Levon Ter-Petrosyan also openly demonstrated readiness to bow and scrape before Russia. According to him, no one can challenge the fact that "by its decisive interference Russia has rescued the South Ossetian people from genocide". Naturally, he said nothing of the genocide of Georgians, which is currently continued by Russian troops, Kazak volunteers and Ossetians. This can be understood, as nothing more is expected from a politician, who was leading Armenia in the years, when Russia helped it to occupy Nagorno Karabakh, when the genocide of Azerbaijanis in Khojaly was committed. It is clear that Ter-Petrosyan, who decided to throw off the mask of a pro-western politician, openly flirted with the Kremlin for his political future. He seems to consider that he will not need this mask again and that the future of Armenia and the entire South Caucasus is in the hands of those, who will bow lower before Russia.
The same opinion is also supported by working Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan. He said "the tragic events in South Ossetia proved that such conflicts should be settled on the basis of people's free will. Otherwise, we will inevitably witness ethnic separatism and violation of the norms of international humanitarian law".
The subtext of this declaration is clear: "Azerbaijan and the world society should recognize the independence of Nagorno Karabakh, otherwise, Russia will enter its troops and force Azerbaijan to peace". This is a hidden threat not only to our country but also to the established world order. It is not by accident that this declaration was voiced by a person, who personally took part in the Karabakh war and fired at peaceful Azerbaijani civilians!
After this announcement of Sargsyan and the overall open pro-Russian moods among the political establishment of Armenia, Azerbaijani diplomacy has a good chance to put the equality sign between the Armenian politicians, who rule Armenia, owing to Russia's armed aggression against Azerbaijan and Mr Kokoyti and Baqapsh, who were appointed as leaders of unrecognized South Ossetia and Abkhazia by the Kremlin.
But the most important is that Azerbaijan should clearly understand that Russia may pass from verbal support of Armenia to definite pressure on our country. The declaration of CSTO secretary general Nikolai Bordjuzha, who confirmed that in case of a threat to one of the member-states, the fourth article of the contract will be executed, is one of the components of pressure on Azerbaijan by Russia.
Certainly, most will remain unhidden. For example, direct or indirect threats from Russian side to the BTC pipeline in a form of bombs, which can be dropped by Russian pilots "by accident", are possible. The talks about the US failure to secure Georgia from Russian military aggression are possible during the meeting between the leaderships of Russia and Azerbaijan, which means that we should draw conclusions and agree to recognize the independence of Nagorno Karabakh. Otherwise, Russian tanks may immediately be directed to Baku, like in case with Tbilisi. In other words, they will "force us to peace" diplomatically.
The only way out is Azerbaijan's soonest integration with NATO. We should respond by force to another force. The only force, which can resist growing appetites of the Kremlin is NATO. They have not left a choice to us. Any delay in this issue equals to death. |

Armenian variant for Georgia |
Watching the recent events in Georgia, the logics and consistency of Russian occupation of Georgian territories beyond illegal separatist formation is quite obvious.
It is easy to understand that Russian powers use the Armenian variant of occupation of Azerbaijani territories (though it is clear who is a real teacher).
We know the essence from our pattern: to occupy as many lands as possible and then to trade in exchange for a status for a long time. Naturally, some will say that the world society will not allow it, that George Bush and Condoleezza Rice (locomotives of this confrontation) have personally notified the Russian leadership, that the European Union (subsidiary carriages), in the person of Nicholas Sarkozy, has threatened to convene an urgent session. Yes, it is true. But whether it will influence Vladimir Putin for him to influence Medvedev is a real point.
Elections in the United States will be held in US in November. Do you think the Kremlin fellows will not be able to protract the game and then see what happens? For example, to withdraw five tanks and then enter six tanks instead? And then argue on this issue for a week, referring to the lie of Georgian mass media. It won't be difficult to state that there is a Georgian wedding in Gori, therefore, they have surrounded the city and do not allow anyone in order not to spoil the day.
It won't be difficult to state spread of cholera, plague or atypical pneumonia and declare quarantine in the city, thus explaining the fact that journalists and observers can not be allowed in for their own security.
It won't be difficult to state that it is Georgians who explode pipelines, gas pipelines, transiting their territories and then asked what Georgians need it for, to answer: "This is Africa and they are savage!".
Hearing the absolutely blatant lie of the Russian agitation propaganda, it would be naive to be surprised in this situation.
Haven't we been told that the whole Tskhinvali is filled with corpses (2,000 people)and the entire city has been ruined. And then it became clear that only 44 corpses were revealed and each tenth house had been ruined, though it is not a small number.
Within these three months Europe would hardly find any other energy sources to break ties with Russia.
The most unpleasant in this situation that it is hard to imagine our future. It is clear that nothing positive is expected. We can only guess about the extend of negativeness.
This is really the first and the most brutal act of aggression without any sensible references to international law.
Someone can list the example of Iraq, Yugoslavia or Kosovo to oppose me, which is usually used by almost all Russian official and unofficial persons.
Tens of resolutions were adopted on Iraq. Tens of resolutions were adopted on Yugoslavia. Iran was in economic blockade by the UN resolution with the further notification of use of force. Yugoslavia was even on the verge of being expelled from the OSCE. As for Kosovo, there was the UN administration and Americans or French or even Albanians did not issue their passports to Kosovo residents.
These actions have nothing to do with the international law. This is a simple and brutal occupation. If in the near future Russian troops do not leave Georgia, it will be protracted and the further reaction will not be so sharp, the new (for example Zhitomir) OSCE Minsk Group will be created and it will protracted for years. In such a situation, the South Caucasus will be hit with wars and conflicts and, as a result, all its residents will have an absolutely hopeless geopolitical future.
Naturally, I expect the immediate reaction of the local fifth column with numerous articles either founded or groundless with "details" of the personal life of all those, who do not agree to live in the geopolitical trap, set by people, whose empire ambitions have stepped beyond the acceptable limit.
