PERFECT SETTING FOR PLANNERS OF NEXT CRIME AGAINST ARMENIANS

The U.S. Assistant Secretary Nuland visiting Yerevan called for a
humanitarian step and return of the Azerbaijani saboteur Askerov to
Azerbaijan who has been sentenced in Artsakh. Nuland’s statement caused
a backlash in Armenia and Artsakh. A real offensive was launched by
officials and experts with the message “it is not the U.S.
business, and the U.S. is actually protecting the interests of
Azerbaijan” and so on.
Interestingly, on the same day the Russian MFA announced officially
that they are likely to discuss Askerov’s extradition with the
Armenian side. Earlier the Russian foreign minister Lavrov had made
a similar statement.
It goes without saying that Lavrov’s statement did not cause a
scandal. Although, it is clear to everyone that once the Russians
said, they will do. Azerbaijan and Russia are partners, Azerbaijan
is one of the biggest consumers of its weapon, besides, Askerov is
a citizen of Russia.
In addition, judging by the style and methodology of
Azerbaijani reconnaissance-in-force, these sabotages may be joint
Russian-Azerbaijani actions. For example, Russian and Azerbaijani
special services closely cooperate in the North Caucasus to clamp down
on liberation movements of native people, namely the Lezgi people. By
the way, Askerov was deployed in the North Caucasus.
In other words, he carries valuable information, and Russia and
Azerbaijan will do everything they can to return him. Apparently,
the process has started, and there is an order to attack Nuland for
distraction and eventually blaming the United States.
Several years ago Russia and Azerbaijan implemented the extradition
of Safarov, another murderer. Putin personally dealt with this.
Azerbaijan could not have done this without Russia. Baku is said
to have a lot of money to Hungary, and signed weapon purchase deals
with Russia.
Armenians complained, of course, calling Azerbaijan a country that
sponsors a murderer. The Hungarian flag was burnt, and eggs were
thrown at a pharmacy that had something to do with Hungary. They ran
out of eggs when Russia’s turn came.
This year the serviceman of the Russian military base in Gyumri
murdered seven members of the Avetisyan family in January. Russia
took this serviceman under its protection and refuses to hand him,
obviously humiliating and ignoring the Armenian side. Moreover, it
is already clear that he will be declared insane and set free. He
may be glorified like Safarov and awarded with the Georgievsky Krest.
These seem to be three different cases but they all express the
attitude to and policy on Armenia. We are dealing with extradition
of people who committed genocidal crimes against the Armenians. Most
importantly, however, we are dealing with a specific, inexplicable
reaction of Armenians. In fact, the behavior of the Armenians enabled
such cynical extraditions.
Moreover, such behavior means that there will be more
Russian-Azerbaijani crimes against Armenians and extraditions. Why
not as long as the Armenians keep silent or blame the West? Here is
a perfect environment for crime planners.
