How the war in Karabakh will allow Putin to return Armenia and Ukraine
The war in Karabakh and the evasion of Armenians from conscription into the army to participate in hostilities can become a clear example of the fallacy of the separation of at least part of the post-Soviet republics from Russia in 1991.
Liberal Russian political scientist Stanislav Belkovsky stated this on the Internet channel “Vlast vs Vlashchenko,” a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“What is the concept of the Armenian state? If there is no Armenian state at all, the Armenians will again dissolve into diasporas, is this qualitatively different from what it is now? From the point of view of the diaspora’s attitude towards the “Motherland” - as it has always been pathetically called, it is no different, because no one came to defend Armenia at the decisive moment. Moreover, the Armenians sabotaged conscription during the war, and it also turned out that this was “not their” war.
This has to do with the entire post-Soviet world, which is what Putin is going to play on, who will increasingly pose the question: “Are not all post-Soviet states, or some of them, random formations that cannot justify their existence and formulate a goal? » - said Belkovsky.
In his opinion, for the same reasons the question of the legal capacity of Kyrgyzstan and Ukraine can be raised.
“For example, does Kyrgyzstan have a goal? This question cannot be answered unambiguously, taking into account how often power changes in Kyrgyzstan in a revolutionary way, and what is the economic situation of this country. But you still need to come to bow in Moscow and get another portion of money, and then live to see the next revolution.
Until recently, it seemed to me that these issues would never arise before Ukraine, but as the ruling elites become paralyzed and inactive, it seems to me that this issue is becoming more and more relevant,” Belkovsky concluded.
