Reading the news on Groong is not always such a good thing to do when you first wake up.

This morning when I read the headline “NKR President: Karabakh ready for peace talks without preconditions”, the though of the president to be negotiating a peace plan for us was quite frightening. To think that the guy can’t make sound choices on how to run our country right and now sit down and try to make choices of how to settle our problem with our enemy kind of scares me since he clearly has shown in the past that he is interested in only his and his friends interests.

Then comes to mind Azerbaijan and from what I understand from Aliev, it’s kind of the same situation there. Can he make the right choices for his poverty stricken country? If he and his father had made the right choices in the past, would his country be poverty stricken today? I guess they have more excuses to be poverty stricken then we do (loosing control of much land), but nonetheless, from what we have been reading in the press, our president and their president seem to have the same respect from the people.

I’m not sure what will be accomplished from the talks, but I guess in the world of international politics, it’s a mandatory process, but knowing both sides and the history of the region for the last thousand years, probably nothing will come of them.

I guess the only thing that I can find comfort from is that in the end it will be what the people want and if we agree with the settlement offers that they come up with, then more power to them. If not, then it could be the LTP story all over again, which would not be all that bad.
