“Artsakh will not be part of Azerbaijan. It will lead to unpredictable and fundamental changes in the geopolitical landscape, after which a completely different global balance will be created. I am not exaggerating. There are even small points on which the global future of the region may depend,” Artsakh Foreign Minister David Babayan told reporters.
According to David Babayan, first we must gather ourselves. We must understand what we have and bring it all together. “If you do not know your vulnerabilities and advantages, you will make mistakes. This book is a small thing that can correct some things because you need to know different developments. For example, what is written about UN resolutions?
Now many people are speculating, but those four resolutions actually recognize the subjectivity of Artsakh, but we need to talk about it. Azerbaijan says that it talks about territorial integrity. But it is written that in fact, it recognizes the subjectivity of Artsakh, because it mentions local Armenian forces, which do not belong to Armenia, Azerbaijan or any other state. This, of course, is subjectivity. The book is about all this.”

According to the Artsakh Foreign Minister, if you show principle, it has an impact, even in this difficult situation. He cited the statement of the President of the European Council Charles Michel. “That terrible statement, the Armenians of Karabakh, etc. The very harsh reaction from Artsakh, collectively, from everywhere, led to the fact that Toivo Klaar and the others began to justify that we did not mean it. Now if you swallow, nothing depends on us․․․ Who said it does not depend on us? A lot depends on us. Everything depends on us: how we will be exposed, what policy we will pursue. We should not underestimate or despair.
These messages must always be heard by Michel and the others. What Charles Michel said is not a law for us because this is a struggle for survival. We do not disrespect Michel. We say: this is your approach, this is us, and this is how we think. And if anyone thinks that there is no alternative, they are very wrong. There is always an alternative because geopolitics gives alternatives. There is never a vacuum in the most important regions.”
