War in Karabakh stopped. We must prepare for the war in Donbass

War in Karabakh stopped. We must prepare for the war in Donbass

The main question in connection with the statement on the end of the war in Nagorno-Karabakh, delivered by the Presidents of Russia and Azerbaijan and the Prime Minister of Armenia, It is, will Nikol Pashinyan stay in power in Armenia. The citizens of Armenia and not only have too many complaints about him.. The legitimacy of his actions on Karabakh is given by the consent of the President of the Nagorno-Karabakh Republic (NKR) and the leadership of the armed forces of Armenia. Yet Pashinyan's inability to prepare the country for war, which was approaching before everyone's eyes, evident.

The statement says nothing about, what will be the status of Nagorno-Karabakh in the coming years and in the future, and this is a fundamental question. Karabakh has been a part of Azerbaijan for many years, it was even before the events in Sumgait, Baku and Karabakh itself during the Soviet period, before the 1992-1994 war, before the current war, finally, - and it is known, how did it end. I think, that one of the main flaws of Yerevan's political position in this conflict was precisely the lack of certainty in its position on the status of the NKR.

A related question is how internally displaced persons and refugees can get along with each other, that, according to the statement, must return to the territory of Nagorno-Karabakh and adjacent areas. One side, we set such a task in Syria, we are solving it. But everyone knows, how hard it is. It will be many times harder here. As of the middle of the year, NKR was a flourishing state - who will restore the destroyed?

The issue of peacekeeping is not completely clear either.. The statement of the three leaders says nothing about Turkey's participation in it. Nevertheless, in his address to the people of Azerbaijan, President Aliyev said, that in Nagorno-Karabakh a "joint peacekeeping mission of the military personnel of Russia and Turkey will be deployed". I doubt very much, that the Armenians will accept the peacekeepers from the country, which not only carried out the Armenian genocide, but refuses to acknowledge this obvious historical fact.

In short, Putin's trilateral statement, Aliyev and Pashinyan on Nagorno-Karabakh is an intermediate document, it will be refined, adapt to the situation.

there is, but, one undeniable conclusion, which I do in connection with him for Russia. We need to prepare for the start of the war in Donbass by Ukraine. The parallels between these two situations and the approaches to them of Baku and Kiev are obvious.
