Chapter 1160 - 980: This Money is Well Spent

Chapter 1160: Chapter 980: This Money is Well Spent

Seeing that he was "starting off on the wrong foot," Ilyham could only change the subject and start discussing the real business at hand.

Of course, he also recognized that although the young man before him was indeed very young, he was definitely not someone to be taken lightly!

Ilyham had heard of the great name "Mikhail" long before, but he felt that the deeds reported in the media were a bit overblown.

After all, he was just a young man in his early twenties; how capable could he really be?

Even he once doubted whether there were some hidden circumstances behind Mikhail’s background, and relying solely on an uncle like Khodorkovsky was definitely not enough to get him to the position he was in today.

Perhaps...

But these were just his private conjectures, with no evidence to support them.

Now, on their first "confrontation," Ilyham had already felt that this young man was indeed not simple!

"The Nagorno-Karabakh region was a territory allocated to our Country A by the Former Soviet; there should be no dispute about this, and your country should acknowledge this as well," Ilyham said, staring intently at Wang Ye.

Wang Ye nodded slightly without denying his statement.

"Then, the actions of the Armenian ethnic group in the Nagorno-Karabakh region ought to be illegal! I hope your country can take on its responsibilities and strictly stop the unlawful actions of the Armenian ethnic group! I demand they immediately and unconditionally withdraw from the Nagorno-Karabakh region and restore our Country A’s actual control over the area!" Ilyham further stated.

But Wang Ye did not agree with this statement; he shook his head and said, "However, the majority of the population in the Nagorno-Karabakh region are Armenians. We also have to consider their wishes. Isn’t the cause of the conflict between your country and Armenia also rooted in this issue?"

Ilyham’s face turned red with anger, his chest heaving slightly, obviously very dissatisfied with Wang Ye’s words.

But he had to control his emotions and not make a scene.

After all, the man sitting opposite him was not a simple character...

Not only was he currently the envoy of the region’s most powerful nation, Russia, but he was also one of the most powerful figures in Moscow!

Of course, there was also the matter of the elite mixed brigade that was already airdropped into the Nagorno-Karabakh region, watching eagerly...

Combining all these factors, even if he was dissatisfied with Wang Ye’s words, he could only endure!

After struggling for quite a while, Ilyham finally managed to utter, "If your country cannot be impartial in mediating this dispute, we will seek third-party support, such as our neighbor Turkey, which strongly backs our claim to the rights in the Nagorno-Karabakh region!"

It was obvious that he was using Turkey to threaten Wang Ye.

The implication was that if you, as the "big boss," couldn’t be fair, then I would no longer acknowledge you as the "big boss" and look for a new big boss!

In recent years, Country A and Turkey had been exchanging flirtatious glances, and Country A’s oil and gas resources were mostly sold to Turkey, making their relationship very close.

In addition, due to its strategic geographical location, controlling the exit to the Black Sea, Turkey received many advantages from both Europe and the United States.

Considering the ethnic composition was the same between Country A and Turkey, Country A had gradually been gravitating toward Turkey.

Behind the Nagorno-Karabakh dispute with Armenia, Turkey’s influence was apparent!

Wang Ye, of course, knew about these behind-the-scenes dealings, but he just hadn’t pointed them out.

Now, hearing Ilyham actually use Turkey to threaten him, Wang Ye was not angry but found it a bit laughable.

He turned his head to glance at Shao Yigu and noticed that the man was also struggling to hold back his laughter, but the upward curve of his mouth "betrayed" his emotions...

Perhaps for countries like Country A and Armenia, Turkey could be considered a very powerful nation.

But it has to be said, in the presence of Russia, Turkey was still short of stature, especially since it was still 2005...

It’s like being a high school student, and a kindergartner threatens you by saying their brother is in the sixth grade and will come to back them up and beat you!

You would probably laugh out loud too...

...

After all, it was a formal occasion, and with Ilyham across the table being the president of a country, it wasn’t appropriate for Wang Ye to outright laugh.

He had to take a deep breath, suppress the urge to laugh, and seriously responded:

"The Nagorno-Karabakh dispute is a matter between members of the Commonwealth of Independent States, and I do not allow external forces to intervene!

Now I will formally inform your country of the Collective Security Organization’s mediation plan for the Nagorno-Karabakh dispute.

After considering legal principles and human rights issues, as well as the historical factors of the Nagorno-Karabakh region, the Collective Security Organization believes that the people of the Nagorno-Karabakh region should have the right to freely choose their nationality and residence.

After discussions with Armenia, they have agreed to accept those who are willing to move to Armenia, and they also agree that the Nagorno-Karabakh region belongs to your country..."

Clearly, Ilyham’s reaction to this proposal was the same as Narban’s the day before; he was left stunned for a long time without speaking.

The proposal was somewhat unexpected for him.

Though the outcome was not perfect, at a glance, the proposal still seemed favorable for Country A!

When he came to his senses, Ilyham got a bit greedy and wanted to push for more.

He argued, "The Nagorno-Karabakh region naturally belongs to our Country A, and there has never been any dispute about that! Furthermore, the residents living there are our citizens, and without our permission, they should not be allowed..."

However, before he could finish speaking, Wang Ye directly interrupted him.
