THE BEST WAY OF BEING CHEATED IS TO PRETEND TO BE THE MOST INGENUOUS

The fact that Azerbaijan has turned to the secretariat of the OSCE with
a proposal to dissolve the Minsk Group makes think rather than demands
an evaluation, says the NKR parliament member Gegham Baghdasaryan. The
member of parliament thinks it is more important to understand the
cause and effect relations and expectations from this move.
"After all, nothing terrible for the Armenian sides has happened and
will happen, even if Azerbaijan thereby achieves its tactical goal
– to destroy the format of the OSCE Minsk Group and to have the UN
discuss the conflict. Everyone knows that the proposals offered by
the Minsk Group include a number of elements favorable for Azerbaijan,
and to put it mildly, causing doubt in the Karabakh side."
The NKR member of parliament says Azerbaijan must realize that the OSCE
Minsk Group co-chairs have a key role in the UN, so the change of the
"playground" cannot change the rules of the game, especially that the
United States, Russia, France, as well as a number of "heavy-weight"
countries either voted against the resolution presented by Azerbaijan
or abstained, once again affirming their intention to observe the
rules of the game.
"Hence, it is necessary to realize what makes Azerbaijan in such
unfavorable conditions assume responsibility for thwarting the peace
process and increasing the possibility of resuming military actions. I
do not rule out "undercurrents", backstage games, since Azerbaijan,
to put it mildly, is not a state which can afford such independent
and risky steps," Gegham Baghdasaryan says.
At any rate, the member of parliament thinks that in the visible
space there is no danger for the Armenian sides, on the contrary, the
non-constructive stance of Azerbaijan is an additional trump card for
them. Although it is also necessary to see what is happening behind
the stage, if there is a curtain at all.
"It is highly probable that there is not a curtain, at least it is
not the first time when it is difficult to get a logical explanation
to one move of Azerbaijan or another," concluded Gegham Baghdasaryan,
recalling the famous saying by La Roche Foucault: "The best way of
being cheated is to pretend to be the most ingenuous."
