Letter to the Armenian President on Nagorno-Karabakh Conflict 2020


To: The Right Honourable President of the Republic of Armenia Mr. Armen Sarkissian 

From: Athinarayanan Sanjeevraja

RE: Nagorno-Karabakh Conflict 

Suggestion: 

Hon. President, let me start by paying my respect to you and through you to. To put things into perspective, Nagorno-Karabakh is not an independent entity but an occupied territory of the Azerbaijan Republic and is recognised by the international community and the UN. The fact that your son is doing his military service in the Armenian army located in Azerbaijan's Nagorno-Karabakh and started an undeclared war against Azerbaijan, occupied Nagorno-Karabakh and 7 adjacent regions of Azerbaijan, and massacred and forcefully deported Azerbaijani aborigines was the main reason for the lack of peace in the region. The political solution is obvious to bring lasting peace, prosperity and stability to Nagorno-Karabakh region. 

Hon. President, the laws of armed conflict failed to protect the Nagorno-Karabakh civilian population, individual civilians, and civilian property. The laws of armed conflict failed to discriminate between those taking parts in the fighting in Nagorno-Karabakh. The laws of armed conflict failed to protect the environment as war causes severe or long term damage to the environment. The fact here is that there are a number of international documents stating that Nagorno-Karabakh is an integral part of Azerbaijan. Thus, Armenia should withdraw its troops from the occupied territories of Azerbaijan in accordance with the requirements of the 4 UNSC resolutions 1993. Then only, it is possible to ensure sustainable peace, prosperity and stability in Nagorno-Karabakh and its surroundings. IMHO, if Armenia continues aggression against Azerbaijan by doing military services illegally on Azerbaijan occupied territories, Armenia breaks the sovereignty, territorial integrity of Azerbaijan and cannot be considered a democratic country as democratic country respect the laws of armed conflict, international laws, UN, OCSE, etc. Armenia has to stop its occupation policy and restore the 4 UNSC resolutions 1993 which demands to restore Azerbaijan's territorial integrity. 

Hon. President, Armenia claims that Nagorno-Karabakh has been an ancient Armenian land for thousands of years with Armenians living on the land. Whereas Azerbaijan claims that Nagorno-Karabakh has never been part of Armenia but thousands of Armenian families were settled on Karabakh. Armenia should spare the lives of Azerbaijan who were citizens of Armenia whereas Azerbaijan should spare the lives of Armenians who were citizens of Azerbaijan. Both Armenia and Azerbaijan should care about their life’s freedom, the future of their children and grandchildren. The people of Nagorno-Karabakh Republic want a peaceful democracy so that they can be safe not killed by Armenians or Azerbaijan weapons. The latest attack shows that the people of Nagorno-Karabakh can never live in peace. Both Armenia and Azerbaijan don't attain peace through war. Both Armenia and Azerbaijan do not attain peace by being obstinate in 18 years of fruitless negotiations conducted via the OSCE Minsk Group because Armenia already seized a quarter of Azerbaijan by force. Let's hope the Nagorno-Karabakh problem would be resolved peacefully. The world wants both Armenia and Azerbaijan's aggressive policy goes with all laws of the armed conflict, international laws, UN, OCSE, etc. The world wants both Armenia and Azerbaijan should show their peaceful attitude to solve the conflict peacefully. The world wants both Armenia and Azerbaijan have never opened fire on civilian residential areas and respects the laws of armed conflict, international laws, UN, OCSE etc. Otherwise, both Armenia and Azerbaijan will leave behind a legacy of more bloodshed and war for your children and grandchildren. 

Hon. President, the killing of hundreds of thousands of innocent Armenians and Azerbaijanis should never be swept under the rug. IMHO, both Armenia and Azerbaijan is sorely missing cooperation and a humble effective approach to diplomacy that will most effectively sustain Nagorno-Karabakh region. I would recommend that both Armenia and Azerbaijan close cooperation and a humble effective approach to diplomacy which help carve up Nagorno-Karabakh region peace, prosperity and stability. I would also recommend that both Armenia and Azerbaijan work together accordance with the desire of Nagorno-Karabakh people for peace, prosperity and stability. If you failed to do so, peace, prosperity and stability may be decades away. 

With most amicable regards to you, 

Athinarayanan Sanjeevraja.

BRITAIN’S BREXIT BATTLE 2019

To:     The Right Honourable European Commission President Hon. Jean-Claude Juncker   From: Athinarayanan Sanjeevraja Date: August 19, 2019 RE:      BRITAIN’S BREXIT BATTLE   Suggestion: Hon. European Commission President, let me start by paying my respects to you and through you to. The UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson has insisted repeatedly that backstop must go, if not then no deal BREXIT but he support the GFA and custom-free border between the UK (Northern Ireland) and the EU (Republic of Ireland). That is a blatant contradiction. How can he have it both ways? If the UK wanted to exit from the EU bloc without a deal - the return of a hard border is absolutely necessary. Why BREXITERS are object to the backstop? The reason behind that it would give the EU way to keep a toehold in future UK trade policy. If the UK wanted to leave the EU without backstop, in other words, a hard BREXIT or there is been no exit agreement by both the UK and the EU – then the r

To:     The Right Honourable Chief Executive of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of the People’s Republic of China Ms. Carrie Lam From: Athinarayanan Sanjeevraja Date: August 29, 2019 RE:      HONG KONG EXTRADITION BILL 2019 Suggestion: Hon. Chief Executive of the Hong Kong let me start by paying my respects to you and through you to. “One Country Two Systems” structure compels Hong Kong to operate currently under different legal system than that of Mainland China. You published the extradition bill on March 29, 2019 and first reading on April 3, 2019 which will destroy Hong Kong legal independence because extradition bill is another attempt for China to take away the Hong Kong independent legal system that China has agreed for Hong Kong to keep until 2047. Thus, the people of Hong Kong marched their protest against the bill on June 9, 2019. Hong Kong protests are still continuing. The silence of your government leads me to believe you have no plan t

AN AMBITIOUS SUMMIT TOWARDS WORLD’S LARGEST FREE-TRADE DEAL WITH EU

Hon. American President Mr. Barack Obama, Mr. President, it is a great pleasure writing to you again on transatlantic relationship for European Union and the United States of America. America is Europe’s closest partner in Transatlantic Trade and Investment. It would be the most significant bilateral FTA. It does matter because it’s covering approximately 50 percent of global output, 30 percent of world merchandise trade and 20 percent of global FDI. Thus, both US and EU gains for fiscal consolidation and high employment as no additional spending or borrowing will be needed to achieve fiscal consolidation and high employment of the US and the EU. Indeed, cost reductions will benefit businesses and generate growth and employment in the US and the EU but reducing barriers to business would accord greatest economic benefits than tariffs as tariffs between the EU and US are already low. I hope that this press conference to commit to remove all duties on transatlantic trade and e
