Moral standards have never worked and will never work in international relations. You can curse the Russian peacekeepers who did not prevent the massacre in Artsakh, you can curse the UN, which sent an “observation mission” only after the killings, and you can shout that we were “betrayed” by these or those, but our complaints and anger will not affect international politics. Only the balance of power is at work there.
Not realizing this, Armenian Prime Minister Pashinyan, with his provincial arrogance, presents himself as a global figure and believes that he can play a decisive role in the Russia-West global confrontation by becoming an ally of one of the parties. Ultimately, all that comes from not reading historical books and serious analyses of the current situation.
Being familiar with the events mainly from Facebook statuses, Pashinyan has overlooked, for example, a specific change in the West’s attitude towards Ukraine. If we also consider that Ukraine is 100 times more important for the West than Armenia, we can understand how far our government is from reality.
In international relations, the legal mechanisms also did not work in this historical period: the UN, the OSCE, and individual countries could not do anything against ethnic cleansing in Artsakh (even if we assume they wanted to).

That means that when the members of the Civil Contract imply that they accept the Rome Statute to “catch Aliyev,” they are either insane or simply lying. This “lawless” situation can continue for years and even decades until the superpowers agree on a new architecture of the world order. In that case, “falling under their feet” is the height of stupidity.
…It is possible, of course, to plaster people’s mouths with “russianslave”- type insults in the Armenian section of social networks, but this, I assure you, will not change the situation in the world.
