PROTECTING THE COUNTRY IS IMPORTANT

The political parties of Karabakh risk becoming accomplices in the
return of the territories for which many got killed and lost their
friends. Thereby they cross out the idea of the liberation of Karabakh
and creation of a sovereign country, an idea that underlies the
Karabakh movement, and many who have now forgotten used to uphold it.

The conclusion is that the parties which support the common candidate
risk to be remembered as the parties which signed agreement and put an
end to the state named Nagorno-Karabakh. The visit of the Azerbaijani
delegation led by the Azerbaijani ambassador to Russia Polad Byul-Byul
oghli (the same Byul-Byul oghli who held a protest in Moscow against
the performance of our young singers of the Voices of Artsakh project,
and frightened the innocent children with a bomb laid in the hall),
and the warm welcome of the Karabakh government shows that the talk
about the return of territories, deployment of peacekeeping force
and establishment of friendly relations between the "communities"
of Karabakh and Azerbaijan is not just a talk. It is already the new
framework of the talks.

Perhaps the euphoria among the people who came together around the
"common candidate" and hail consolidation of the society does not
let them feel the danger of the move they made. Some think they will
save the nation from divide, others thereby settle their scores with
the nation, but apparently nobody thinks that all this may become
moot since today the Karabakh state faces the question to be or not
to be. If we become a civilized country, the questions will solve
themselves. And if we are ranked among the third world countries,
just there will be nobody to take revenge on. And there is no time
to think. Instead, there is time to acknowledge the crucial moment
and admit to mistakes. Protecting the country is important.
