    Aliev Vows To ‘Fight’ Armenian Diaspora





    Azerbaijan's President Ilham Aliev announced Tuesday a campaign to counter the influence of the Armenian diaspora.

    Aliev said his oil-rich ex-Soviet republic was opening embassies and consulates in parts of the world where the Armenian diaspora was especially influential.

    "It's no secret that California is a state with a large Armenian population. We opened a consulate general (in Los Angeles) to be there and to fight the Armenian lobby," Aliev said in an interview with Arabic network Al-Jazeera, a transcript of which was published by Azerbaijan's state news agency Azertaj.

    Aliev said his country planned to open an embassy in Argentina, where the Armenian lobby "is strongest among Latin American nations." "One might ask, 'Why open an embassy in a country with which we have no serious links.' But we're opening an embassy to fight the Armenian lobby on its own turf," Aliev said.

    Azerbaijan and Armenia have been locked in a territorial dispute over the Nagorno-Karabakh ethnic-Armenian enclave since before the break-up of the Soviet Union. Azerbaijan lost control of the territory and seven surrounding regions during a war in the early 1990s, but Karabakh's status has yet to be settled. Diaspora Armenians are key to financing the rebel government controlling the enclave. The world-wide Armenian diaspora has numbered in the millions since Armenians were forced out of Ottoman Turkey in a series of massacres and forced marches during World War I.

    Aliev said Azerbaijan's new oil wealth gave it a chance to outweigh ethnic-Armenians' influence abroad. "What is attractive about Armenia...? Only the fact that it has a rich diaspora that influences the policies of various countries," Aliev said. "Azerbaijan is a country that will supply Europe and world markets with energy resources. Imagine Azerbaijan on one side of the scale and Armenia on the other."

    He knows he won't win on the battlefield so he's trying his hand at political influence...he will lose here too.

      Damn, if the turds can't change things in their favor in Europe despite contributing the largest army to NATO, despite having such a perfect geopolitical position and despite their hired Zionist help, do Azeri peasants really think they can succeed.

          I feel that these are the good days for armenians who should enjoy their position as much as possible in international politics because this situation could not last longer......

                  Turks need to understand that the Armenian agenda against them is all but unstoppable.
                  Never before in modern history had Armenia been in such control of its own destiny. Armenia now has a homogenous state which acts as a stonghold to bring us back to heath after centuries of collective illness suffered from subjugation and fear. Most importantly, Armenia now has a professional warrior class that is more than capable at defending the country from the Turkic threats. This situation is fostering a situation where Armenia has a international voice...and this voice, much to the Turkish chagrin, is being heard loud and clear.
                  In short, Armenia (in just 15 years) is inow in a strong and unpresedented position. This position, along with the diasporan support, will make the coming years very painful for our Turkic enemies.

                    This guy Aliev is screwed.
                    The Azeris have politicized and created such propoganda about Artsak. If Aliev makes a deal granting concessions then he loses face and maybe gets sacked. He goes to war then he risks losing and suffering the fate of his predecessor. I think deep down inside everyone knows this. Works out great for the Armenian side. Maintain the status quo. Intead of giving "back" lands(which I don't get, how do you give back what was always yours?). So now Aliev is trying a different tactic. Blame those damn Armenians in the diaspora!
