"And what do the Artsakh authorities think?
Armenia should maximally support protecting the rights of the Armenians of Artsakh. But what is the idea of Stepanakert in this matter?
Apart from unrealistic and science fiction approaches, what solution do they see in official Stepanakert?
Do the authorities of Artsakh understand that their people have elected them, that they should not shout "hurrah-patriotism" with an oppositional stance but take tangible steps to ensure the safety of their citizens?
They should have an honest conversation with their people about realistic possibilities.
What do they imagine: to continue living under the auspices of the Russians (with worsening conditions and closing Lachin), to negotiate with Baku, and try to bring an international monitoring mission to Artsakh? Were they the right ones (Azerbaijan will wait that long, too), or are they considering another option?
P.S. Artsakh authorities regularly complain about Yerevan; the latter does not respect their independence. Yes, no government in Armenia recognized the independence of Artsakh (because it would not lead to a good place). And, I'm sorry, do they respect their sovereignty in official Stepanakert? Sovereignty, within the limits of which they should be able to make independent, responsible decisions. Do they understand that they should represent the people of Artsakh not only in Yerevan (as the authorities of the regions and communities of Armenia should do)?"
