Once hailed by his loyalists as the “king” of the occupied Azerbaijani lands, Robert Kocharyan has resurfaced on Armenia’s political stage, still clinging to his delusions of grandeur and bitterness toward the realities of peace. During his rule, he strutted across the occupied territories as though they were his personal fiefdom. At the so-called OSCE meetings, he often attempted to dominate the room with condescending facial expressions — as if the fate of a nation depended on his gestures rather than on genuine diplomacy. Those were the days when the OSCE’s inefficiency had turned it into a political swamp, where empty rhetoric replaced real negotiation.
