New scandal is about to happen in Yerevan and Karabakh clan will have to explain its behavior... |
|
|
|
It seems that a new scandal is about to happen in Yerevan and the Karabakh clan will again try to distract the attention of world and Armenian society from problems it has created.
 The due announcement was made by Fuad Akhundov, chief of sector of analytical researches of Azerbaijan's Presidential administration, commenting on information of Armenian mass medias about Azerbaijan's alleged recruitment of militants and transit of arms from Afghanistan to Georgia.
"First of all, I would advise everyone who finds this material on the PanARMENIAN website, to follow the link of the news on the website of "Realny Azerbaijan", which has appeared from nowhere, and then read the forum. Most participants of it said: cheap newspaper hoax, which has nothing to do with facts and reality.
This is not a mere lie, this lie is primitive and unprofessional. But unfortunately, deep school of falsification was created in Armenia: thus, materials of houses set ablaze in Azerbaijani Shusha were set for "videomaterials from Stepanakrt", last week an article on "genocide of Armenians: appeared in the New York newspaper, issued in Russian in the United States and illustrated with photos of children, killed by Armenian aggressors in Khojaly.
Thus, in 1992, news conductors of Russian first TV channel Tatiana Mitkova declared that the channel stopped cooperation with the Pro-Armenian agency for a cynical disinformation about the Khojaly tragedy, while in the mid 1980s Russian pope in Düsseldorf noted that Armenians use Vereshagin's picture "War apotheosis" to propagandize invented "genocide of Armenians".
It seems that Armenians are sure that the world community will believe in any lie. Thus, I would recommend to perceive everything said about Azerbaijan in such cases as a lie. And it would be much better to replace the word Azerbaijan with Armenia", said Akhundov.
He said that he will be surprised if it is revealed that on the background of the current growth of tensions in Abkhazia, someone would try to restore the famous Armenian battalion named after Bagramyan, well known for its cruelty against peaceful Georgian residents, as the number of Armenians is higher in today's Abkhazia that Abkhazians themselves.
"If seriously, I would like to remind the following. After coming to presidency under ultranationalistic slogans, working president of Armenia Serzh Sarkissyan has repeatedly tried to distract the attention of Armenian people from their own problems and own poor state by making loud accusations addressed to Azerbaijan.
Thus occurred the events of March 1-2, when on the background of brutal suppression of people's protests in Yerevan. Armenian armed forces provoked an incident on the contact front line and then when they failed to break the opposite defense, tried to accuse Azerbaijan of everything.
But in this case the state of the Karabakh clan has worsened: members of Armenian diversion group, which are giving testimonies, have been captured in Azerbaijan and Armenia can not conceal anxiety of someone in Yerevan. It is not difficult to guess that Armenia is preparing for a scandal and fabricates accusations addressed to neighbors in a form of recruiting militants and the whole Kabul and others.
In addition, the US Department of State has recently released its annual report on international terrorism, highly evaluating the activity of the Azerbaijani government and in the paragraph, devoted to Armenia, pointing that "transparent" borders, state corruption and organized crime, makes this country vulnerable for money laundering by terrorists, not speaking of the US anxiety about the relations between Armenia and Iran, which was also reflected in the report. In other words, Yerevan got nervous and attempted to fabricate accusations addressed to Azerbaijan adhering to the principle "perhaps, someone would believe it", said the chief of sector of the presidential administration.
At the same time, Akhundov is confident that this can hardly be considered reliable, as the connection of working political establishment of Armenia with international terror, participation of the Armenian special services in terror acts against Azerbaijan is not a secret to anyone.
"Therefore, the first portion of criticism in the report was perceived by Armenia as a sign of alarm: someone can really get interested by the facts that Taliban activists moved throughout the world with Armenian passports, as it was reported by the former leaders of Armenian special services", said Akhundov.
But he considers another matter to be more important.
"First of all, it is necessary to familiarize with publications of Armenian mass medias to understand that recently Azerbaijan's efforts to inform the world community about real situation in Nagorno Karabakh and around it makes Armenia, if exactly its political establishment, even more nervous. Yerevan is also nervous about the activity of the state structures and activity of the organizations of Azerbaijani diaspora which question the lobby casts some doubts on the lobby and information monopoly of Armenia.
But I would risk to propose something else. As is was reported by Day.Az, in the magazine "Russia in global policy" I have published a response to speaker of Armenian parliament Tigran Torosyan regarding his article, where he tried to place in question the basic principle of international law-respect to the territorial integrity of states and prove that the rights of nations for self-determination may become the legal basis for separatism.
Today, when it became obvious that former electronic engineer Torosyan failed to make a revolution in the international law, Armenia was offended on those who reminded them of it and decided to argue by a well-tested method, which is applied by many people: if you have no arguments-pass to personalities. And if you can not compromise the needed personality-invent arguments, for example, write that Mr.Akhundov eats teenagers for breakfast. Or recruits militants.
In other words, Armenians intended to reach several goals by one unlucky newspaper hoax: and attain success in information war, obvious to themselves and defile those whom they do not line and balance accusations of connection with terrorists. However, it turned out to be too unconvincing, unprofessional and fullish", Akhundov concluded. |
