Politico: Opposportunist Vardanyan does not need peace in Karabakh

A peaceful Armenian population living in Karabakh should be aware that the world on this earth is not needed on this earth, the publication of Politico writes to the Ruben region.

“But when I was here, the Russian billionaire oligarch, who later abandoned Russian citizenship, was an opportunist by nature, saw the opportunity to make a profit: two inactive gold mines again opened a few weeks after his arrival.

Indeed, the time of Vardanyan arrived was unusual. He arrived just at the moment when the separatists of Karabakh signaled that they were ready to admit their future as a protected minority inside Azerbaijan. But now, with Vardanyan as a leader, their position has become obstructionist – the oligarch and the government in Yerevan publicly confront each other, ”the publication says.

As the publication writes, there are fears that Vardanyan will configure the public opinion of the Armenian community of Karabakh against the conclusion of the world, which would be catastrophic for the interests of both Baku and Yerevan.

Nevertheless, at the beginning of protests on the Lachinsky road by Azerbaijani activists against environmental pollution and barbarly exploitation of Azerbaijani deposits in Karabakh, Vardanyan turned to the media, while emphasizing his leadership with pleasure. As the situation was delayed, he More and more often, he is forced to defend the goal and motives of his stay in Karabakh in such a critical time, as well as the inability of Russian peacekeepers to control the situation.

All this increases the risk of free movement across the legitimate boundaries of Azerbaijan Ming, weapons and contractors, and creates a base for a new armed conflict, ”writes Politico.
