Armenians are deliberately rejecting the results of the Moscow declaration

After adoption of the Moscow declaration between the Presidents of Russia, Azerbaijan and Armenia, it was interesting for me to see how Armenian side would behave. I would say more, if someone has not noticed, Day.Az on these first days acted by the principle "do not cause a damage" and did not comment on this declaration and just stated the adoption, fairly supposing that the signatures of the three Presidents are a definite breakthrough and it should be captured and further steps should be taken.

As is said, music played not for long. Armenian side immediately ruined everything, that could give at least a small hope for peace, by its numerous comments and statements almost in the first hours of the signing. People, who have sunk into oblivion and sometimes even not familiar to anyone except for their psychiatrists, were used by Armenian and pro-Armenian mass medias.

The declaration was commented by everyone, godforsaken political scientists, conflict scientists, deputy chiefs of departments of some centers, leading officials of non-existing funds, mythical experts, photographs and owners of tailor's shops. At the same time, one Russian news agency was inciting and rejecting the Moscow declaration most of all. There are Russia's national interests, there is a personal work and success of President Medvedev in signing  this document, but we see that this Russian agency provides its tribune to extremely rude fellows with the obvious of Armenian nationalist rhetorics.

I think and I am confident that one day the former official of the Kremlin and the owner of the agency will be asked about the reasons of his conduct, which contradicts to Russian national interests. Otherwise, Baku observers will be confident that on the one side there is signed a document and good will is demonstrated in the resolution of the conflict, while from the other side these people are allowed to reject this document.

Now some words about the essence of Armenian statements regarding the Maindorf declaration. I do not know which logics are adhered to by the so called Armenian experts, but to demand security and independence of Upper Karabakh from Azerbaijan, is either a dangerous form of mental backwardness, or the result of the constant adoption of hallucinogens.

This is the matter that if Armenians insist on independence of Upper Karabakh, any security is out of the question. The security of the Armenian and Azerbaijani population of Nagorno Karabakh can be ensured in the result of a peace treaty, which includes the withdrawal of troops, return of refugees, recognition of the territorial integrity of Azerbaijan from the Armenian side.

I repeat that there are no hints, either mimic or verbal that the Azerbaijani leadership may reject these principles.

Today our public must think of which will be the co-existence, think of future, decide what to begin with and not give to their people the promises far from the reality or threaten to us (it is not 1992 or 1993 today). War will make everyone suffer. But someone will suffer more. Here my optimism is not on the Armenian side.
