Re: Nagorno-Karabagh: Military Balance Between Armenia & Azerbaijan
Sergei Lavrov: The aggressor will not achieve its goals
Elimination of Azerbaijan suspended
In Yerevan the Presidents of the rally - the CSTO. The event itself - out of the ordinary. And it happens on a background of controversy about the possible sale of Azerbaijan, S-300 "Favorite", the continuing threats of the Azeri, Armenian speeches small but very noisy opposition at the prolongation of the Protocol to the Russian military base in Armenia. On C-300 will not write everything that is relevant to this "problem", expressed, because confine myself to a statement of: Azerbaijan without a C-300 is bad, with C-300 - worse.

The Russian military base in Armenia is not a sign of a flawed sovereignty, as the public try to present some supporters of the absolute sovereignty of Armenia. Statement rejecting the need for Russian military base in Armenia, can come either from nearby or from dishonest people. Their main "argument" concerning the sovereignty of Armenia, cunning technique has nothing to do with reality. Nobody is not saying that U.S. military bases in Japan or South Korea "podgryzli" the sovereignty of these states. But the U.S. has military bases in many countries of the world, including quite distant from the war zones of instability, for example, in New Zealand or Australia.
The new version of the Protocol on the Russian military base in Armenia - is a reaffirmation of the strategic relationship between our two countries. From this point of view this is very interesting interview with Armenian Public Television, Minister for Foreign Affairs of Russia, which said as mussiruemyh Armenian and Azerbaijani media possible deliveries of S-300 to Azerbaijan, as well as on a military base and the likely aggression against Azerbaijan, Nagorno Karabakh.
With regard to S-300, Sergey Lavrov spoke really convoluted (possibly, as his diplomatic experience and Tbilisi childhood), suggesting that at least some negotiation on this matter between Baku and Moscow are. However, as already mentioned, the possible acquisition of Azerbaijan's C-300 only adds to it a headache. C-300 in Azerbaijan's aggression against the Republic of Artsakh - not the necessary weapons. In addition, this complex, despite its well-deserved glory, just not able to protect oil and gas fields of Azerbaijan, on imminent attacks NKR.
In Baku, it is perfectly aware that makes them nervous about the obligations of Russia "to help ensure that the Republic of Armenia and compatible with modern weaponry, military (special) equipment". However, a couple of days later, Lavrov and does spoil the mood of the Baku hawks, stating that in his opinion, "in the region, we are talking about (the South Caucasus. - L.M.SH.), no state plans to begin New military action, because it would have been disastrous. And the fact that the aggressor is still not achieve its goals, all we saw in August 2008, when your neighbor, Mr. Saakashvili decided to solve the problems of South Ossetia methods unacceptable from the standpoint of international law. "
Comparison of Azerbaijan with Georgia and Saakashvili Aliyev is not even a hint, but a direct and open (without a familiar diplomatically ornateness) warning of the consequences awaiting Baku in case of renewed aggression. The subsequent "I'm 100% confident that between Armenia and Azerbaijan, these attempts will not be because, I repeat, I participated in meetings with President Medvedev Presidents Sargsyan and Aliyev, and all three presidents signed a document that does not permit the use of force, which underscore the commitment to exclusively peaceful resolution of any problems in the context of the Nagorno-Karabakh process "- is a tribute to the propriety and an attempt to" save face "Aliyev. No more.
But a stern warning sounded, and today it is difficult to say who it will play good. Further, compared with the Protocol of 1995, the obligations imposed by mutual agreement on Russian troops in Armenia, are afforded the protection of all external borders of Armenia, including with Azerbaijan. This fact frees up large Armenian units, which may be activated in order to protect the Republic of Artsakh Azerbaijan's aggression. With new supplies of modern weapons means that the decision of Baku on the aggression against NKR end of the liquidation as a state of Azerbaijan. And now it is difficult to decide who played into the hands of warning Lavrov.
In fact, Russia, like most countries in the world is really interested in peace in our region. However, the long and stable peace can come only in the event of liquidation source of military and political instability, which is the Republic of Azerbaijan. Warning: Russian Foreign Minister that "the aggressor has still not reached their goals," not only saves the aggressor, but also deprived the indigenous peoples of Azerbaijan hopes for an early deliverance from the yoke of the Turk. As well as extending the story of an illegitimate public education under the name Republic of Azerbaijan.

P.S. In the article "Rocket syndrome to Moscow and Yerevan" columnist Azerbaijani newspaper Ekho Noorani reproached me that I am, "for good reason" silent about the agreements governing the stay of U.S. military bases in Japan. Although this attack has a very specific addressee in Azerbaijan, however, answer one of the leading figures of the Azerbaijani state propaganda.
Agreement on the presence of U.S. military bases in Japan extended every 10 years. On the desire to terminate the Agreement allowed to say only after the next ten-year, for the year until the termination, that is, each extension of the Agreement requires stay of U.S. bases in Japan for at least next 11 years. Japan pays the salaries of all civil servants of U.S. military bases. Japan pays all consumed by U.S. military bases electricity, heat and water, food and even entertainment centers at the bases. Offences committed by American soldiers in the performance of its obligations under the jurisdiction of U.S. courts. If an American soldier commits a crime outside the military base, it remains the responsibility of the U.S. Army as long as Japan's justice does not amount to an indictment. Since, under the Agreement, U.S. troops at the entrance to Japan do not need a passport, visa or registration, the Japanese police can not control the military, living outside the base. A trifle, but the U.S. military released even the payment of a fee for use of motorways. Note that this benefit are deprived officials (governors, ministers) Japan itself, as well as government officials, including ambassadors, foreign countries.
A comparison and not only Noorani, these conditions with published protocols that govern residence of the Russian military base in Armenia. Recall that neither Armenia nor Azerbaijan, no one doubts the utter sovereignty of the Land of the Rising Sun.
