Serzh has eventually bitten the bullet and according to a ‘number of press reports’ has signed on to implement his secret Karabakh conflict resolution package. In the run-up to the February Presidential election the ‘Blowing the World Bank Whistle’ featured 'World Bank Armenia Corruption – The Politics, which included:
“Soon after Serge Sargsyan has terrorized himself into the Presidential Palace, all will eventually be revealed. He has a multi-billion dollar [Karabakh] ace tucked so well up his sleeves, that after several years of preparation, ably assisted by his friends in the international financial institutions, only the very best informed have an inkling of the full house the new President is about to slap on his Republic of Armenia table”.
“The World Bank, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the Armenian tyrants have for the past five years or more been carefully preparing for this moment. They are in no doubt of where the finance is coming from; of how many billions of dollars are involved, and of how that money will be surreptitiously manoeuvred into Armenia to create another fabricated wave of foreign investment, and importantly to escape the attention of the rightful beneficiaries, the people of Armenia”.

In March ’A World Bank Crisis for Armenia – The Intrigue’ carried more detail of how Serzh would receive his money: “A most suiting scenario is through the Kocharian / Sargsyan friends in Russia, who in the run up to the recent Presidential election farce came to Armenia announcing their intention to increase investment in the Armenia construction sector”.

These are two of many such articles posted on the ‘Blowing the World Bank Whistle’ blog, which detail the rampant World Bank / IMF backed corruption in Armenia, explaining the preparations for the Sargsyan / Kocharian ‘Karabakh Deal’

Many questions still need to be answered. Sargsyan and Nalbandian insist the future status of Karabakh will be determined by Karabakh itself, through an internal referendum. According to the OSCE, the ‘Madrid Proposals’ have developed from the ongoing ‘Minsk Group’ negotiations, and the latest OSCE recommendations state:
Nagorno-Karabakh’s final status to be determined eventually by a vote, with an interim status to be settled on until that time.
The clause does not determine where the vote takes place, or who is to vote, which suggests the Sargsyan / Nalbandian assertions are not true. The OSCE proposals do however comply fully with Azerbaijan’s President Ilham Aliyev, who insists that Karabakh will always be Azerbaijani sovereignty.
Secondly, there is still no mention of what will happen to the fifteen or twenty thousand Armenian refugees and under-privileged civilians who have been moved into the surrounding territories in recent years. What will be their fate when hundreds of thousands of Azerbaijanis return to their homes after the Sargsyan Karabakh deal is finalized?

Eduard Nalbandian, Armenia’s Minister of Foreign Affairs, recently announced that the Karabakh resolution package can not be validated unless it is approved by the Armenian people. This gives the comfort needed; especially knowing the process will be meticulously organized under the auspices of Armenia’s most eminent new Speaker of Parliament, Hovik Abrahamyan. He proved his loyalty to the people when he expressed how the Sargsyan regime was such an unfortunate and innocent victim of the 1st March killings.
The Karabakh Deal is now well and truly in its implementation stage, and soon will inevitably be approved by the people, who will never know about the billions of dollars the Karabakh clan has pocketed as a result. But keep an eye on the construction sites, which have been all but deserted since the February election. When they come back to life, which could now not be until next Spring, then be assured that Serzh and his clan will have begun to reap the rewards of their scheming, deceit, lies and betrayal.
