BAKU: Armenia Is Ignored Because It Is Considered A Rogue State

ARMENIA IS IGNORED BECAUSE IT IS CONSIDERED A ROGUE STATE

I want to ask readers the following question: Would you invite a
person with no culture to your birthday party along with respectable
representatives of society if he shows no respect for private property
and steals from its neighbours? I am sure you wouldn’t.

Armenia, with its current leadership, is not invited to any major
world forums. It was not invited to the 40th anniversary of the
annual meeting of members of the World Economic Forum to the Munich
Security Conference.

Azerbaijan attended both forums and was an important speaker at
the oil and gas summit. Azerbaijan’s statements were covered by many
global media, triggering a wide response and great interest by leading
world powers.

Meanwhile, nobody invites Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan to
international forums. No one writes to him, no one is waiting for him.

In other words, Armenia is in a smooth transition to a rogue state. In
such countries the leadership mistreats its own people, wastes national
resources for gains of rulers, shows disrespect for international
laws, threatens its neighbors, violates international agreements,
assists terrorism and rejects basic human values.

Let’s talk about the abovementioned points.

Firstly, Armenian authorities mistreat their own people and
squander national resources for the gains of rulers. Recently, the
co-rapporteurs of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe
(PACE) on Armenia John Prescott and Georges Colombier sent a letter
to the Armenian Parliament Speaker Hovik Abrahamyan requesting a
comprehensible reforms timetable before the meeting of the Monitoring
Committee in Paris, March 17, 2010. The message posted on the PACE
official Web site underscored the need to implement reforms that will
enable the investigation of the tragic events of March 1, 2008, which
resulted in the killing of Armenian citizens demanding fair elections.

Everything is much clearer when it comes to the waste of national
wealth for personal gains. Armenians themselves are also talking about
it. The Armenian National "Miabanutyun" Club Head Smbat Karakhanian
said that Armenian authorities consist of oligarchs, criminals and
foreign proteges.

"The government owns roughly 85 percent of all assets and companies
in the country, including illegal traffic, and controls almost 90
percent of the financial flows. In this sense, it is easy to imagine
the fate and true purpose of interstate loans," Karakhanyan said.

The disrespect for international laws, threatening neighbors, grossly
violating international agreements is already becoming obvious to
the world community. Recently, Euronews aired a report which said
that besides Nagorno-Karabakh, Armenia has occupied seven regions of
Azerbaijan and refuses to withdraw its troops, violating four U.N.

resolutions. The report also spoke about the genocide of Azerbaijanis
in Khojaly and showed pictures of crime against humanity.

The threat to its neighbors and the country’s refusal to leave the
occupied territory of Azerbaijan, whose territorial integrity is
recognized worldwide, may give rise to separatism and terrorism in the
region. Plus, we have heard about Armenia’s new territorial claims to
Azerbaijan, part of Turkey’s territory and that of Georgia (Javakheti).

Well, we all witnessed how cynically Armenia can violate the treaties
it has signed and the Constitutional Court’s decision to change the
Armenian-Turkish protocols proves that.

When it comes to assisting terrorism on a global scale and the
rejection of basic human values, it is appropriate to recall that
the term "Armenian terrorism" first officially used in America’s
State Department monthly bulletin in August, 1982. Also, it is
worth recalling the words of former U.S. Deputy Secretary of State
for European Affairs Stephen Oxman who said that the territory
of the Nagorno-Karabakh region, occupied by Armenia, is currently
uncontrolled and international cooperation is needed to prevent the
spread of terrorism.

As for Armenia’s rejection of basic human values, the most telling
evidence of this is the genocide of Azerbaijanis in Khojaly, and
the statement of former Armenian President Robert Kocharian that
Azerbaijanis and Armenians are genetically incompatible. Such openly
fascist rhetoric is another explanation why Armenia is now a rogue
state.
