The President of the Artsakh Republic Arayik Harutyunyan called on the international community to form an anti-terrorist coalition. The call came after Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan visited Artsakh and held consultations with the military-political leadership, discussing issues of hitting new targets.
The Armenian Armed Forces are conducting an anti-terrorist operation on the border with Artsakh, and this is a fact recognized by the international community, at least at the level of the three Minsk Group Co-Chairs and neighboring Iran.
The Armenian armed forces are fighting against the international terrorism that has penetrated the Caucasus, and that is what allows them to speak in harmony with the world, in the same language. The President of the unrecognized republic of Artsakh Arayik Harutyunyan offers to act “in the same language” in addition to speaking.
By and large, this fact is underlined by the prospect of changing its nature in the context of the Artsakh issue and international politics. If Turkey tries to change the nature of the conflict at its discretion, then the Armenian side begins to build its strategic prospects.
In fact, having registered the fact that Turkey has “involved” militants of international terrorist groups in the region, the Minsk Group Co-Chairs stand on a certain line, either they allow Turkey to digest this circumstance, in other words, they become a terrorist factor, or continuing Artsakh. In terms of their mediation mission, they are indirectly, but they are becoming a kind of trio coalition against international terrorism.
Of course, in the true sense of the word, it is far from such an arrangement and image, but the problem is that the terrorist war against Artsakh is changing the ground on which the peace mediation effort is anchored. And by acknowledging Turkey’s destructive and terrorist provocation, those countries are in fact acknowledging that it is changing the ground on which the peace process was built, now it is an anti-terrorist process.
At the same time, it was the change of that land that made Ankara hurry to voice its desire to enter the Minsk Group co-chairing format, trying to hint from the terrorist land that it was ready to move to mediation. On the other hand, it is obvious that Turkey is now a terrorist, not a mediator. Can it change behavior? Having solved its problem on the battlefield, the Armenian side has actively started doing the same in the political field.
The statement of the Artsakh President about the anti-terrorist coalition gives a certain key to the countries that are in the risk zone of a terrorist provocation besides Artsakh and Armenia. And this is practically all countries, without exception, and regardless of whether they are neighbors of the region or not.
One should not have the illusion of any quick coalition format, but at present the problem is certainly in the field of logic transformation in real politics, which is being undertaken by the Armenian side.
