“If a new war starts, the UN may urge Baku to cease military operations and return to the bargaining table. In this very case, Azerbaijan will have a possibility to ignore this demand and compel the UN to renounce the policy of double standards,” Niyazov said.

Unfortunately, Niyazov said nothing new. There is an impression that Baku is just preparing the international community for a new war. Azerbaijan is echoed by well-known expert Thomas de Waal saying that Azerbaijan can’t waste 10-15 more years on talks.

It’s not hard to understand the meaning of these words. However, Armenia is not likely to sit idle and hope for the assistance of the international community, which did not stir a finger during the massacre of Armenian population in Azerbaijan and during the demolition of Armenian monuments in Nakhijevan. Furthermore, the international community seems not to notice the armament race and unprecedented boost of defense budget in Azerbaijan.

It’s not ruled out that in case of a new war, the international community will press on Armenia in order to rescue Baku, to be more precise, the oil and gas pipelines.

These pipelines, but not the territorial integrity of an obscure Azerbaijan which appeared on the map with a wave of Stalin’s hand, do matter.

It’s worth recollecting the words of late Ayatollah Khomeini, who said: “There is no country called Azerbaijan. There is Republic Baku.”
