EVERYTHING WILL BE OK, DAVIT, DON’T WORRY!

The spokesman for the NKR president Davit Babayan commented on
the incident in Berdzor and Igor Muradyan’s press conference in an
interview with Tert.am. During that press conference Igor Muradyan
had returned the NKR state award and made some statements. Davit
Babayan says let Igor Muradyan accept a medal from Aliyev and let
his statements please the Azerbaijanis.

The style and wording are not new and are ubiquitous in Karabakh and
Armenia as the last “argument” as nothing else is left to say and
retort. However, the problem is not this but the phenomenon itself.

It turns out that the opinion of Aliyev and Azerbaijani press is the
ultimate opinion for broad public and political circles which is taken
as a benchmark for the assessment of internal phenomena. What is this?

Is this a trick, a complex, a spooky or anything else? Maybe
all together, depending on the motivation, purpose or simply the
intellectual state of the users of this thesis.

In the meantime, let’s go back to Davit Babayan and ask him since
when has Aliyev’s and other Azerbaijanis’ opinion so highly assessed
in Karabakh, a country which has defeated Azerbaijan in the war? Is
it OK when the spokesman for the president of a winner country refers
to such things?

Igor Muradyan, Emil Abrahamyan, Zhirair Sefilyan and others who are
standing at the beginnings of the establishment of the Karabakh state
and had a great contribution to the organization of armed resistance
and victory were attending the car march. In addition, they did not
care for what Moscow’s politburo and Azerbaijan were saying about it.

Unlike many others who were against all this and were even willing
for Karabakh to participate in the election of the president of
Azerbaijan. Davit Babayan should know what happened to them. If these
people did not have these characteristics and they cared for Baku’s
opinion, Karabakh would not be an independent state today, and Davit
Babayan would not be the spokesman for the head of this state. At best,
he would be sitting in the “regional soviet” and writing letters to
Baku or he would be jobless and busy studying Chinese demography.

In Armenia they may not know such things but the assessments of the
press secretary of the country that won the war should be appropriate
to his position.

Something painful happened, and there is a need to understand it,
prevent similar occurrences in the future. Such assessments do not
help improve the situation. They make it even worse. And if there
is nothing to tell, one should keep silent. Let those speak who have
anything to do with it. This will be more correct.

Everything will be OK, Davit, don’t worry!
