Edward Nalbandyan stared at Shavarsh Kocharian.

"We ruined our relations with Semneby before he reached Armenia,
and thanks to your interview. Now no Armenian cognac will make them
better," Nalbandyan said.

– I’m just bored of silence in the country! We are silent while Turks
are making statements. Azerbaijanis "warn" our president not to go
to Karabakh any longer, but we are still silent. Now this European
will tell us about the status quo and we will keep silent again?

Personally, Lavrov did not order me to be silent. He stepped on
Nalbandyan’s sore toes. "I will not be silent this time!"

Minister waved his hand:

– Ok, you may go…

Arman Kirakosyan entered the cabinet next.

– What should we do with Kocharyan? Nalbandyan inquired. Have you
read his interview? He ruins our relations with European partners! Of
course, we can explain to Kocharyan that no one except us recognizes
the Karabakh referendum. Today we lack power to dictate terms. He
will not understand this anyway and will even blab about "a spirit
of defeatism" in the Foreign Ministry. Unless we not tell him, he
will keep on doing it.

– Wouldn’t be it better if he continues? Kirakosyan suddenly asked.

– In what way will he continue? He makes interviews as though we can
make the whole world dance under our duduk*! He makes a laughing-stock
of us and you dare to say let him continue.

– Of course. Someone may believe him, especially in Yerevan. He
is our secret weapon! Dou you remember when all believed in Berlin
in 1945 that Reich would obtain "a magic weapon" to make a turning
point in the war in own favor? But there was not any magic weapon. If
Shavarsh today teaches Semneby international law, someone might think
that we are strong in fact! It helps people to remain steadfast and
optimistic. So let him go on!

Nalbandyan got lost in thoughts.

– Well. Let him go on. Battle spirit should be preserved.

Suddenly, Nalbandyan grew cold with terror when Kiraskosyan closed
the door: What if Shavarsh Kocharian is the main magic weapon of the
country? Simply, he was not explained how bad the things are ..

describe as belonging to them
