Kasprzyk - Persona Non Grata In NKR

The Azerbaijani agencies and Russian Regnum reported without referring to the primary source that Andrzej Kasprzyk, the personal representative to the OSCE CiO, has announced that “commission of the airport in Khankendi” does not favor the negotiations.

Andrzej Kasprzyk will have to explain why he calls Stepanakert “Khankendi” and why he contradicts himself regarding the opening of the airport. Or Kasprzyk will have to punish once the Azerbaijani journalists who disseminate provocative information.

Kasprzyk has been the personal representative to rotating OSCE CiOs for already many years on the Karabakh issue. He has an office in Stepanakert where he goes frequently, without asking for Azerbaijan’s permission. He has a pair of field assistants and a limited mandate. At least, Kasprzyk has no right to investigate border incidents and other cases that may affect the settlement of the Karabakh issue.

Most probably, his mission is to inform the OCSE CiOs replacing each other every six months on the Karabakh issue and keep them from populist steps.

In fact, Kasprzyk could not make such a statement because the co-chairs had announced earlier in summer their support to opening of the airport and even set to sway Azerbaijan. However, Baky disagrees and threatens to take measures. Already threats come from Karabakh that if Azerbaijan tries to strike a civilian airplane, a large-scale war will start.

It is possible that Kasprzyk has stated something like this to hint that the OSCE has been unable to bend Baku. Perhaps Baku has put forth this condition for the resumption of talks. However, it was Karabakh’s turn immediately.

Official Stepanakert has to react to this news both regarding the use of the place name “Khankendi” and the content of the statement. If Kasprzyk said this, the OSCE cannot continue to act as a mediator of the Karabakh issue. It means the process of settlement is not primarily aimed at the protection of the rights of people living in the region but satisfaction of the demands of the Azeri-Turkish tandem. By the way, recently Turkey also has stated something against the airport in Stepanakert. And Armenia has already threatened to close its airspace for the countries hindering operation of flights in Karabakh.

Waiting for Empty Armenia

“Our economy is growing, while theirs is actually paralyzed. Our population is increasing, while they are facing a demographic catastrophe, there is zero natural growth and mass emigration. According to their official statistics only, in the first half of the year about 70-80 thousand people left the country,” said Ilham Aliyev comparing Azerbaijan with Armenia. He also added that Azerbaijan will certainly get Karabakh back but refrained from militaristic statements. He called on his people to wait until Armenia is totally empty and Azerbaijan will take not only Karabakh but entire Armenia.

Demography is an important geopolitical factor. Western progressive technologies, industrial, military, as well as social and political, cannot win where their rival is the demography. Despite the fact that it is common to speak more about the clash of the Western progress and the eastern traditionalism, in reality the barrier is the demography.

Demography will increasinly lead the Armenian people to complete loss of not only sovereignty but also the nation state. Russia’s ambassador Vyacheslav Kovalenko does not hide that his country takes away from Armenia over 5 thousand people annually, plus those of approximately the same number who winn the Green Card and leave for the United States. He says that Armenians are not forced to leave for Russia, which is true, but it is also true that Russia and the U.S., as well as Turkey and Azerbaijan, do everything to reduce Armenian population.

Serzh Sargsyan calls on the world to undertake steps against Azerbaijan, which, as he says, is preparing for a war. In reality, Azerbaijan is getting ready to absorb the Armenian territories after the demographic situation in Armenia will have reached its pick.

The government which not only does not try to stop emigration but also stimulates it should be accused of high treason. It deprives us of the key weapon in the world – the demographic weapon. Even if we, by some miracle, acquire progressive technological weapons, we will be unable to survive without demography because we need to cope with the financial and technological expansion of the West, the weakening of our sovereignty by the North and the threat of demographic expansion of the South and the East.

The parliament and the government of Armenia should call an extraordinary session on the demographic issue. In addition, they should view in the same context the natural and mechanical reduction. It is necessary to adopt complex measures to stop emigration and boost birth rate.

This thesis should be the basis of the programs of presidential nominees because the demographic issue can’t be ignored any more. Armenia with a population of one million will have to forget about the nation state. Little time is left for this scenario to come true.

Looks like the toork stogies are going to either try and provoke an incident or fabricate an incident. They are a good cunning devil enough to do so. Because we all know after Sooria they have another target. This is only being ratcheted up, the West has lost it’s mind and they are going to provoke WWIII with the cunning toork. This is all a mess, and the next stage is going to explode, maybe the toork is going out of bounds on this one? But I just don’t trust the West enough as I think somehow they think there is success on the ground because they are all lost in their own smoke and mirrors. Someone should tell them smoke and mirrors are only for the people not the heads of state. They played with Libya and look there is a dead ambassador, and someone burned a Kentucky Fired Chicken. Europe in a mess, and the American monetary cliff already passed fast approaching just who up at the top of the .01% is drunk enough to keep playing with fires like this?

Russia just canceled the Atomics for Fuel program. "No thank you I’ll keep my plutonium .... thank you very much". This is not good at least for the West, but Russia is awake don't worry. All this is only going to get even worse, instead of the head of Nato talking sauce like we defend toorkey. No European wants a toork in the EU and Rasmussen is going around shanking hands with toorks. What happened to Europe? Did they all forget who they were? Litle Tinny Armenia has more brains and ballz than all of Euro!

Look I found a Frying pan for a Hungry Hungarian who builds monuments to toorks...LOL What happened? I thought the reason why we eat a croissant was for Vienna. After Vienna was saved by the toorks they made Croissants Wake up Euro! Now they build monuments for toorks in the middle of Europe? Wow!

Let me say this again, Little Tinny Armenia has more Brains and Ballz then all of Euro!
