"The West could recognize the independence of Nagorno-Karabakh as it did Kosovo" - National Interest

The armed conflict between Azerbaijan and Armenia over the unrecognized Nagorno-Karabakh has already claimed many lives. To stop the conflict, the United States does not need to rely on the OSCE or the Minsk Group, but needs to recognize the independence of Karabakh, following the example of Kosovo. This is the conclusion reached by Michael Rubin, the author of an article published in the American edition of The National Interest.

As Rubin writes, the US strategy is confused, but even on the day the military conflict in Nagorno-Karabakh began, the US State Department issued a statement in which it warned third parties against participating in the conflict. However, this was neglected by Azerbaijan, which gratefully received Turkey's help.



According to the author, Nagorno-Karabakh was historically inhabited by Armenians, but in 1923 Joseph Stalin transferred this region to Azerbaijan. After the collapse of the Soviet Union and independence by Armenia and Azerbaijan, the United States decided to continue Stalin's strategy and support Baku in the confrontation between the countries.

However, in 1992, the US Congress passed the Freedom Support Act, Section 907, which prohibited the United States from helping Azerbaijan. This ban lasted until 2001 and was lifted, despite the fact that a dictatorship ruled in Azerbaijan. The point is that Baku was demonstratively opposing Iran, supporting Israel, which was in the hands of the United States. There was also a dictatorship in Armenia, but it was pro-Russian.

Now everything has changed, in 2018 Armenia overthrew the dictatorship and turned to democracy. There are no problems with Yerevan's orientation towards Russia, since the United States does not have the task of developing pro-Western views in Armenia, Rubin writes.

But in Azerbaijan the dictatorship has only strengthened. Aliyev resolved the outbreak of internal conflicts by using ethnic conflicts and foreign aggression.

The White House may reintroduce Section 907 and ban aid to Azerbaijan. However, this will not be enough, therefore, without relying on the OSCE and the Minsk Group, the US State Department needs to implement the policy it is pursuing in Kosovo.

Like the Republic of Artsakh, Kosovo has its own story... Dictators forced Kosovo to enter into unprofitable alliances, where it faced aggression and repression, the same happened with Artsakh. The West turned against the Serbian dictatorship and history of ethnic cleansing, and in 2008 Kosovo became the youngest member of Europe

- Rubin writes.

The author notes that the USA and the West could recognize Artsakh, thus guaranteeing it the fate of an independent state and security. Artsakh has a rich history, it is more worthy of independence than many modern countries. In addition, by recognizing the independence of Artsakh, the United States will send a signal to Turkey, showing that interference in the affairs of other countries can have negative consequences.

      Aha! And the next day, recognize the independence of Crimea from Ukraine and its right to return to its "home harbor"! laughing
      The State Department is wriggling to prove to everyone that Kosovo is an exception to the rule. And then "our man in America" ​​comes out and writes this. lol

              For example, when they decided to build a coup. The Sultan's miracle saved.
              All advances in Kazakhstan and other Turkic republics - the construction of schools, mosques, etc., were done by the structures of Gulen.
              The Sultan would like to take these levers for himself, but so far he is not very successful.

              So far, no one can get in between Azerbaijan and Turkey. They have a common goal and they are persistently pursuing it. Until a military defeat comes or looms. When something changes, then it will be seen.
              Therefore, neither the States, nor Russia to them climb and do the right thing, IMHO.

          Yesterday Aliyev was spitting saliva that "not even an hour will pass" as Azerbaijan will break off diplomatic relations with ANY country that recognizes Karabakh.
          And in what direction should Erdogan turn his nose? To support Friend-Aliyev until the "last sea" or should he spit on Azerbaijan and not break the rest of relations with the US and NATO?
          If Aliyev breaks diplomatic relations, he will substitute his friend Erdogan. Will not tear - promised ... They will devour theirs. Problem ... recourse

          And the Americans will offer a simple solution - they will not recognize a damn thing. But not for free - they will demand some nishtyaks.

        Will the West pay attention to this event and conduct an investigation, with all the ensuing consequences?

        A video of the capture by Azerbaijani special forces of two Armenian militias is actively spreading on the network, which was actively relayed by Azerbaijani channels in the first half of the day.
        After a video appeared with how it all ended, they began to hastily remove it from Azerbaijani channels, as compromising the Azerbaijani side.

Given the presence of a NATO base in Armenia and the absence of ours, the situation will not change much, since they already have Georgia in Transcaucasia and closer to our borders.

          This is because Russia was for South Ossetia. And here we remain neutral. Armenia stands for sovereignty, which looks towards the west, although it remains a member of the CSTO.

If Karabakh is recognized, then the mattresses there too will stand for a long-term period, formally not conflicting with either Armenia or Azerbaijan since The ownership of this land is disputed by them, but in fact none of them belongs.

      It is not harmful for the author to google and find out that
      1. By the decision of the Plenum of the Transcaucasian Bureau of July 5, 1921 (and not 1923), it was decided to leave Karabakh as part of the AzSSSR, and transfer Zangezur, populated by the Azerbaijanis, to Armenia. Zangezur (in the Armenian version of Meghri) is the strip of present-day Armenia that separates the main Azerbaijan and Nakhichevan. This is how Nakhichevan became an excalav.
      2. Lenin died in 1924, the decision was made during his reign
      3. Stalin stubbornly resisted the transfer of Karabakh to Armenia, despite all Mikoyan's requests
      4. In 1948, 100 thousand Azerbaijanis were nevertheless expelled from Zangezur under the pretext of irrigation and development of the Milsko-Mugan steppe, for example, they built one of the 5 large cities of Shirvan (formerly Ali-Bayramli), where is now the second state district power station after Mingnchaur, which Armenians tried unsuccessfully to blow up

          In historical sources, as well as in the notes of various travelers, it is confirmed that Zangezur has been the place of residence of the Turks since ancient times. Most of the toponymic names of Turkic origin in Zangezur are also a clear confirmation of this.

          In the 240th century, most of the territory of the Zangezur mahal was part of the Karabakh khanate, and the other part was part of the Nakhchivan and Iravan khanates. And during tsarist Russia it was included in the Ganja (Elizavetpol) province. At the beginning of the 7th century, there were XNUMX Azerbaijani (Turkic) villages in the Zangezur mahal, and three times less than the Armenian ones. Magal consisted of XNUMX regions: Kafan, Gorus, Garakilia (Sisian), Meghri, Zangelan, Gubadli, Lachin.

          In 1918-1920. Zangezur, as the territory of the Azerbaijan Democratic Republic, together with Shusha, Javanshir, Jabrail districts, became part of the Karabakh governorate.

          On April 28, 1920, after the establishment of Soviet power in Azerbaijan, Zangezur became a separate administrative division (county) within Azerbaijan. In tsarist Russia, the Zangezur mahal was part of the Elizavetpol (Ganja) province.

          As a result of the massacres committed by the Armenian armed forces in 1905-1907 and 1914-1920, almost half a million Muslim Turks living there were killed in this mahal. In those years, 115 Muslim villages were wiped off the face of the earth in Zangezur ...

          The transfer of Zangezur to Armenia was carried out on the basis of a decision adopted on November 30, 1920 at a joint meeting of the Politburo and the Organizational Bureau of the Central Committee of the AKP (b).

          In 1933, the territory of the Armenian SSR was divided into districts, and Zangezur was renamed, the districts of Kafan, Gorus, Garakilis (Sisian) and Meghri were formed ...

          Finally, in 1988, the Azerbaijanis living in the primordially Turkic lands were expelled from their native lands not only from Zangezur, but also from the historical lands of Azerbaijan that now belong to modern Armenia - Goych, Daralayaz, Irevan and Vedi.

          After the last representatives of the Azerbaijanis, who were subjected to mass terror, were forced to flee Zangezur, the Armenians destroyed and destroyed hundreds of historical, material and cultural monuments related to the Turks ...

          The remaining part of Zangezur in Azerbaijan - Zangilan, Gubadli and Lachin regions were occupied by the Armenians in 1992-1993.

          In 1915, there were 382 Shiite and 9 Sunni mosques in Zangezur and Irevan provinces.

          In Zangezur there are hundreds of place names associated with the Oguz tribes of Bayandur, Kayy, Khalaji, Chepni. In particular, with the names of the Kajar, Baharly, Zengen, Zyulgeder, Padar, Choban clans belonging to the Kayy tribe.

          Historical, ethnographic, linguistic, toponymic studies by various authors confirm that there is not a single topomorphic of Armenian origin in Zangezur, with the exception of a few villages of the period after the 1828th century. The Armenians came to Zangezur after XNUMX.
