Translation It is obvious that the fact of extradition was known both by Brussels and Washington and Yerevan as well. This step silently allowed that these three capitals had their profits to weaken both the Hungarian authorities and Ilham Aliev. The incumbent Hungarian PM Viktor Orban doesn’t have good popularity among European family members from 1998-2002. His nationalistic and xenophobic policy was always criticized by Brussels.
Aliev also turned to be naive whose mistake was in the circle of interests of Washington and Brussels, but as much as of Yerevan.
This is a good chance to destroy the status-quo and increase pressures on Azerbaijan.
West needs to weaken too insistent Azerbaijani authorities which feel almighty due to the great oil profits and to establish democracy by inner levers. This is especially important taking into consideration coming presidential election in Azerbaijan in 2013.
Yerevan is obviously the most concerned party in weakening Azerbaijani positions and in making it the target of pressures. Pressures which will at least result in some concessions in negotiation process(the return of NKR in negotiation process, more loyal treatment towards the resettlement of freed districts and the execution of Stepanakert airport. ) and maximum the silent agreement of recognition of NKR independence of MG co-chairing states that will mark the beginning of universal recognition of Artsakh. Finally the weakening of racist Azerbaijan is a matter of Armenian security. The destruction of feudal system of our neighboring country and the establishment of democracy is in favor of not only Armenia, but also of the Azerbaijani nation.
