Jirayr Sefilyan: By breaking balance of forces in the region, Moscow will try to finally colonize Armenia, Karabakh and Azerbaijan

  Will you please enumerate the most registered events
of 2013?


 The most registered event of 2013 was the fact that
started  understanding  that they live in a colonized country.
However, despite a wave of disappointment induced by the regular illegal
presidential election, the forces fighting for sovereignty of Armenia, have
been gradually growing. In this context, Pre-Parliament, as the initiator
of  the liberation struggle, is playing a
significant part. In line with the programme of the Pre-Parliament on
overcoming the neocolonial dependence and creation of the new high quality
Armenian state, we have prepared the draft strategic conception for formation
and development of the future state. The key prerequisites of organizing the people,
including formation of the core of the network system necessary for
establishment of the all-national movement, attraction of supporters which
would head it. I think that it is unprecedented that the Armenian Rebirth
movement for creation of the new Armenia was set up in the Armenian Diaspora
with a help of the network principle. It is very much important to hold
preparatory work for conducting of the alternative election for the Foundation
Meeting of the future Armenian state and endorsement of criteria for future
deputies.  So, today, in line with these
criteria, Armenian citizens and their compatriots from the Diaspora may be
nominated as candidates. We think that Armenia is only de-jure independent, and
its institutions express and protect not the will of the people but interests
of colonists and their local stooges. Therefore, we should create a new
de-facto independent state. For this reason, the organization of the people, as
well as the society beyond the existing ruling system is very much important.
It is also important to create legal bodies which will express the will of the
people.


 Before visiting Armenia, Vladimir Putin announced
about creation of a single air defense system with participation of Russia,
Armenia, Belarus and Kazakhstan. Armenia and Russia already have a single air
defense system. It will enhance Armenia’s security, won’t it?


 I
think that creation of a single air defense system with participation of
Russia, Armenia, Belarus and Kazakhstan, announced by Vladimir Putin, is only
evidence of changing the format directed at achieving a dream on restoration of
the USSR. In the context of defense, this will not bring effective changes to
Armenia. From the military point of view, in the present conditions replenishment
of the 102-nd Russian military base deployed in Armenia with a small air fleet
is not at all evidence of strengthening the Russian presence in Armenia taking
into consideration the balance of forces in the region. Armenia cannot have an
ally, as it is not an entity. Therefore, the military presence of Russia in
Armenia serves only the interests of Russia. 
And if Russia is going to replenish its armed forces in Armenia and
Karabakh even more, it has to take into consideration that this will lead to
resistance of the Armenian people and to serious counteraction of other players
of the region with all the stemming consequences. 


 Some supporters of Eurasian integration of Armenia
think that by delivering armament to Azerbaijan Moscow puts new obligations
against Baku and hinders Turkey, the USA and Israel to interfere into
Azerbaijan’s affairs even more. Does such a situation meet interests of the NKR
and Armenia?


 I think that such an argumentation of the people which
cannot imagine Armenia without Russia is evidence of any possible nonsense.


What do you think about the current stage of the Minsk
process in the context of the last meeting of presidents and foreign ministers
of Armenia and Azerbaijan?


 The
Pre-Parliament has its own way of final settlement of the Karabakh conflict
which foresees Karabakh joining Armenia through holding of referendum in
Armenia and the NKR. This may happen only since gaining de-facto independence
by Armenia. Unfortunately, the OSCE Minsk Group co-chairmen have always used
their mandates only for fulfillment of their own goals, though they could play
a true part both in organization of referendum in Karabakh as well as in
curbing the militaristic aspirations of Azerbaijan. And finally, they could
play a part in establishment and strengthening of peace in the region. I think
that  the anti-national and criminal
regime on Armenia does not have a right to negotiate on Nagornyy Karabakh on
behalf of the people. Therefore, the stage by stage as well as final results of
such negotiations cannot be legal. For this reason, they should be fully
revised.


 Anyway, do you wait for any principle changes in the
Karabakh conflict settlement process after Armenia’s joining the Customs Union?


The
Baku regime does not differ from the Armenian one as it does not reflect the
viewpoint of the people either.  Speaking
about fundamental changes from Armenia's upcoming accession to Customs Union,
one should take into account that both the establishment of the Customs Union
and the plans to establish Eurasian Union are already fundamental changes.
Furthermore, Moscow plans to finally colonize Armenia, Artsakh and, why not,
Azerbaijan. However, this will happen after Moscow breaks the balance of forces
in the region. In this light, it is absolutely senseless even to dream of
anything favorable for Armenia in the Customs Union.  Baku's regime does not reflect the public
opinion.  The artificially created
country Azerbaijan and its authorities must be approached with reservations.


 Turkey goes on insisting at increasing of its role in
the region as a regional superpower.  Is
Turkey able to offer something new besides the old scheme on cede of several
region in exchange for unblocking of Armenia?


  The Turkish regime, after suffering a
setback at the big Middle East, is in panic because of resistance of the Arab
people supported by Iran being enhanced at present, is trying to move towards
the South Caucasus to compensate the setback.


 Moreover,
Ankara fears that with a help of our friend and neighbor Iran, Turkey will have
serious defeat in the South Caucasus as well. 
For this reason, the Turks are trying to take preventive measures so
that to reject unavoidable defeat. I think 
that the country which implemented the Armenian genocide and now is
denying this fact, cannot play any part in establishment of stability in the
region. And finally, the regime in Armenia, which does not reflect the will of
the people, cannot make legitimate arrangements with the Turks, as it will
unavoidably come across general resistance of the Armenian people.
