Expert: Azerbaijan treats people on grounds of race
May 10, 2011 - 18:04 AMT

PanARMENIAN.Net - Director of Caucasus Institute, political analyst Alexander Iskandaryan said that sometimes “cave and aboriginal” attitude towards policy is observed in our region. People, including journalists and even politicians, treat other persons based on share of some nation’s blood in them, like was the case in 1930s.

“Sergey Buntman indeed says that his grandfather is Armenian, but the father of Philip Kirkorov, who was cordially received in Baku, is also Armenian,” Iskandaryan told a PanARMENIAN.Net reporter, commenting on the supposed inclusion of journalist of Echo of Moscow Sergey Buntman in the black list of the Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry, if the latter visits Nagorno Karabakh.

According to Iskandaryan, articles stating that major part of the Azerbaijani elite is of Armenian origin are published from time to time.

“The fact that Buntman refrained from discussing the topic with an Azerbaijani journalist is rather understandable, since it is improper to address similar questions to people,” noted Iskandaryan.

Vesti.az Azerbaijani news agency reported that deputy editor-in-chief of Echo of Moscow Sergey Buntman will pay a working visit to Nagorno Karabakh. Azerbaijani journalists are indignant over the fact that Buntman’s grandfather is an Armenian from Karabakh, while, Buntman will arrive in Karabakh without “asking Baku’s permission.”

Re: Armenia and the information war

Azerbaijan encroach on our history and heroes
Appreciate the principled position of Azerbaijan
to prevent the revision of the outcome of World War II
Of the congratulatory telegrams to President Dmitry Medvedev
Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev
in connection with the 66-th anniversary of Victory in Great Patriotic War

In the evening on May 8 at all leading Azerbaijani websites have reprinted from the agency Trend.az article "Azerbaijan celebrates Victory Day over Fascism." Good thing is, do not say anything, the victory over fascism should celebrate in public, and it should be noted that for the past year, as in Azerbaijan is realized. Even after it was demolished bust of the hero of the Soviet Union - the graduates of the Baku Higher Military School. In early 2010, were removed and placed in Baku Park officers, all six busts of the Heroes of the Soviet Union and destroyed the monument to the Unknown Soldier in Baku. It is due to the destruction of this monument to Ilham Aliyev had to carry out "ceremony on the occasion of the Victory monument at the Hero of Soviet Union General Hazi Aslanov and Hero of the Soviet Union Gafoor Mammadov.
About Heroes of the Soviet Union, the natives of Azerbaijan SSR, we still talk, but for now just note that, in the sincerity of repentance in Azerbaijan do not believe it. Simple vector Baku's foreign policy, especially after provoking mass unrest in the West Azerbaijan, again temporarily turned toward Russia. A current May 9 just fell on this short period of time. This explains the sudden awakening of Azerbaijan. Whether it's wrong, Azerbaijan is not only laid flowers in the mandatory days "at monuments fallen heroes, but also made to change or completely deprived of legal force the Constitutional Act on State Independence of Azerbaijan Republic". Recall that in this most important state document Russia accused of annexation of Azerbaijan and the Soviet Union in the "politics of colonialism, ruthless exploitation of natural resources of Azerbaijan and the stripping of its national wealth, harassment and repression of the Azerbaijani people, flouting its national dignity."
But let us return to the campaign note of Azerbaijan. It states that "more than 600 thousand brave sons and girls of Azerbaijan went to the front." If the note is limited to ascertaining that fact, I think, claim to it there would be none, since this figure includes representatives of all the peoples living at that time in Azerbaijan. However, the data in this figure further clarifications once again demonstrate the racist ideology of Azerbaijan.
So, in a note says: "About 130 of our compatriots were awarded the title Hero of the Soviet Union." In fact, not "about 130" and 123, but it does not matter. Where else interesting: a short list of names of heroes. "Hero of the Soviet Union Hazi Aslanov, Heroes of the Soviet Union Israfil Mammadov, Ruslan Vazirov, Adil Guliyev, Ziya Bunyatov, Geray Asadov, Melik Maharramov, Mehdi Huseynzade generals Mahmud Abilov, Akim Abbasov, Tarlan Aliyarbekov, Hajibala Zeynalov and many others have added to their heroism new page in the glorious history of our people ", - stated in a note. And although the number "130" they belong in the list are not listed were born within the future of the Azerbaijan SSR marshals O. Bagramyan A. Babajanyan, A. Hanferyants, Admiral Isakov, twice Hero of the Soviet Union, N. Stepanian and other heroes Armenian nationality. Is not specified none of the 28 Armenians, Heroes of the Soviet Union, born in the territory of Azerbaijan.
Native to the future of the Azerbaijan SSR was three, twice Hero of the Soviet Union, of which the note referred only Hazi Aslanov. Propaganda article "did not remember" any of the three marshals and one admiral of the fleet of the USSR, although, again, in the figure "130" are counted.
But the problem is not only the heroes of Armenian nationality. For many years, Azerbaijan has forgotten all the Heroes of the Soviet Union - people from outside the republic non-Turkic ethnicity. Thus, was born in Baku, the legendary spy Richard Sorge, which you will vainly look for in a "heroic" lists of independent Azerbaijan. Not mentioned in the lists and Hero of the Soviet Union, Ilya Kaverin. Meanwhile, the AI Kaverin not only was born in Astara, but came back after the war, died there in 1963. In short, in Azerbaijan prefer to remember and talk, and even then, only in recent years, only about heroes, "Azerbaijanis", meaning by this term Caucasian Turks. Such, the most complete list, including born and raised outside of Azerbaijan, there are 41 people.
Meanwhile, the figure also does not correspond to reality, because in Azerbaijan have decided all of heroes with a Muslim name "record" in the Caucasian Turks. Talysh Mirza Jabiyev, Tat Mehdi Husein-Zade, Avar Salahaddin Kyazimov ... they are all included in the list of "Azeris", ie, Caucasian Turks, Heroes of the Soviet Union.
Of particular interest are the "Azeri" generals. Those in the Great Patriotic War was ... two: Hazi Aslanov and Mahmoud Abilov. Both of them were really courageous people and an outstanding military leader, but the problem is that nationality Hazi Aslanov was Talyshs and Mahmoud Abilov - Lezghins. Others mentioned in the note generals, though, and took part in the hostilities, were awarded the rank of general after the war.
From the Azerbaijan SSR during World War II went to volunteer or have been called to active duty of more than 130 thousand Armenians, about half of whom were killed at the front. Monuments of villagers who died in World War II, were built in all, without exception, the Armenian villages of Azerbaijan. And they were all built on the villagers collected money. After 1988, vandals in Azerbaijan have been destroyed about a hundred of these monuments.
Today, Azerbaijan, knowing full well the power of example of heroic ancestors, trying to erase the memory of Armenian heroes. But at the same time "record" Transcaucasian Turkish heroes Indigenous peoples of this republic. Destruction of monuments to the heroes of the war, hiding the names of heroes, "replacement" of their nationality - all of this - the result of foul and deliberate policy aimed at belittling the value and reviewing the results of the Great Patriotic War, and the suppression of the national identity of the indigenous population of Azerbaijan.

Levon Melik-Shahnazaryan

PS Simtomatichno that spread over all the Azerbaijani mass media agencies note the trend, almost entirely quoted on the official website of President of Azerbaijan, was born last year. For the first time it was published on the night of May 9, 2010. Now, exactly one year later, she, up to a semicolon, was once again reprinted the original source first, then the rest of the media in Azerbaijan. Someone in Azerbaijan is clearly not clean like a game aimed at distortion of history.

Re: Armenia and the information war

Azerbaijanis create national heroes
BY TIMES.AM AT 12 MAY, 2011, 1:00 PM

Azerbaijan decided suddenly that May 9 must be celebrated also by Azerbaijanis as a victory against the fascists. And though Russia and the SU are described as aggressors in Azerbaijani constitution, the latter decided now it is better to be close to Russia, Armenian newspaper “Golos Armenii” (“The voice of Armenia”) writes.

According to the newspaper Azerbaijanis started publishing the articles, where they told about 130 heroes in the Great Patriotic War.

And note, most part of these heroes were Armenians, who were born in Azerbaijani territories. Among them are Marshal Baghramyan, Marshal Babajanyan, Marshal Khamperyants, Admiral Isakov and so on. But Azerbaijani side keeps silence about their Armenian nationality.

Moreover, representatives of the ethnic minorities in Azerbaijan are also presented as Azerbaijanis. Mirza Jabiev is Talish, Mekhti Huseyn-Zade is tatar, Salahadin Qyazimov is avar and so on. But Azerbaijanis call all these people Turks.

Karabakh Farmer Killed on Cease Fire Anniversary


BY ARA KHACHATOURIAN

On May 12, 1994, the cease-fire agreement signed between the Nagorno-Karabakh Republic, Artsakh, and Azerbaijan went into effect and, 17 year later the winds of war are still circling over the people of Karabakh with no end in sight.

On the eve of the cease-fire anniversary, Arayik Balasanyan, a farmer from the Kyratagh village of Hadrut, was operating his tractor on his farm when an Azeri sniper bullet shot and killed him. The 33-year-old farmer became the latest victim of Azeri sniper attacks as the international mediators tasked with finalizing a resolution to the conflict continue to issue tepid warnings and declarations.

“The Azeri side continues violating the ceasefire regime in different directions of the line of contact between the armed forces of Nagorno Karabakh and Azerbaijan. More than 400 shots were fired only during the past two days,” reported the Nagorno-Karabakh Army only days after celebrating Armed Forces Day.

“With such steps Azerbaijan not only goes against the logic of the peace process, but also strives to maintain the tension at the line of contact, thus preventing the resolution of the conflict on the basis of the proposals of the international community,” said Tigran Balayan, the spokesperson of Armenia’s Foreign Ministry.

For the past 17 years tensions along the border of Karabakh and Azerbaijan, also known as the “line of contact” in diplomatic parlance, have escalated. This year alone sniper attacks by Azeris, as well as continued threat by official Baku forced the OSCE leadership to call for a removal of snipers from those regions.

Aside from the rampant violations of the cease fire by Azerbaijan, the military threats coming from high ranking officials, including Azeri president Ilham Aliyev, have created a climate whereby the mistrust that already existed has exponentially increased.

A new twist on the Azeri campaign is Aliyev’s claims that Azerbaijan ceded Yerevan to Armenia in 1918, failing to acknowledge that there was no country or entity called Azerbaijan until 1918.

Meanwhile, the international community—the OSCE Minsk Group tasked with the resolution process—has refrained from calling out Azerbaijan for its declarations of war and literal violations of the agreement, for fear of not being seen as siding with Armenia.

“Progress in the negotiations on the Karabakh conflict is possible, if Azerbaijan stops using the peace process as a cover for continuing its anti-Armenian campaign and distorting the essence and reasons of the Karabakh conflict, demonstrates willingness to restart negotiations with the Nagorno Karabakh Republic, stops its threats and starts implementing the documents it has signed,” Armenia’s Deputy Foreign Minister Shavarsh Kocharyan said Thursday.

“No matter how hard Azerbaijan tries to present the Karabakh issue as a territorial dispute with Armenia, it will have to assume responsibility for its policy of ethnic cleaning and launching an aggressive military effort against the Nagorno Karabakh Republic,” added Kocharyan who reiterated that if Azerbaijan continues its current tenor, Armenia will have no other choice but to recognize the Nagorno-Karabakh Republic.

The conflict resolution process has become a full-court shuttle diplomacy event, with OSCE Minsk Group co-chairmen going from Azerbaijan to Armenia to Karabakh and issuing statements that express confidence in the sides for reaching final resolution.

The failure of the OSCE Minsk Group to include Karabakh as part of the sides to the conflict and bring them to the negotiation table further complicates matters, given that the cease fire agreement signed in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan was between the Nagorno-Karabakh Republic and Azerbaijan, with Armenia and Russia acting as “witnesses.”

The people of Artsakh have spoken. They overwhelmingly voted for independence and reaffirmed that commitment during the constitutional referendum in 2007. Simply put: they expressed their right to self-determination—one of the fundamental principles of human rights and international law.

As long as this expression the people’s will is being ignored by all sides, the cease fire will remain fragile, Azerbaijan will increase its military threats and the situation will continue to remain tenuous on the border of Artsakh and Azerbaijan.

Re: Armenia and the information war

Azerbaijani officials burnt papers of persons internally displaced from Armenia


May 13, 2011 | 14:04
Leadership of Azerbaijani state committee on refugees and internally displaced persons has been taken unawares regarding publications in local independent media saying papers on property of persons internally displaced from Armenia were burned several years ago.

Head of the committee, Vice Prime Minister Ali Hasanov held a press conference accusing independent journalists of anti-state activities.

Hasanov tried to assure such documents never existed, Azerbaijani press writes. According to him, spreading such information is nothing but “an attempt to prejudice refugees from Armenia against our country”.

Local press reported that documents regarding internally displaced persons were burnt when the committee moved to another building.

Experts consider that documents hindered Azerbaijani authorities in their efforts to inflate the number of refugees from Armenia, as the papers testified to actual number of displaced persons.

Re: Armenia and the information war

Ilham, dolma, duduk, Nizami of ANAS
More than once, we noted that in Azerbaijan, a big problem with frames. Sometimes it seems that the speechwriters Ilham Aliyev - forumskie regulars, deriving data, information and inspiration on Azerbaijani forums.
Recently, the Great Helmsman, the son and the father of no less than the Great Helmsman (former and future), part-time graduate historian and intellectual, at least in the first generation, speaking to academics of all Azerbaijan, and issued as at the communion, the entire archive forums Bakililar, Debate and Forumka.az.
Here are affected the most fundamental thesis of Azerbaijani identity.
Nizami:
I think that sounded proposals for the establishment of the Centre Nizami commendable. No one has any doubt that Nizami - it's genius Azerbaijani poet. This is the whole world knows. But if there is a need to prove it to someone, we can very easily do it.
Unfortunately, the whole world not only knows, but thinks quite differently, subtly calling the Persian poet Nizami. Strange, but for President of Azerbaijan "whole world" is restricted to a narrow circle Nedoroslev of the National Academy of Sciences of Azerbaijan and Milli Majlis, headed by Sultan-law Ganira Pashayeva.
"Vesmirnye" professionals, such as Cyril Glasse, Huston Smith, Abel, A, Garth Fowden, Moḥammad Amin Riāḥi and others called him a Persian. What impudence!
NizamI (Abu Yusuf Muhammad Ilyas ibn Yusuf Nizam ad-Dīn) (535-598/141-1202). A Persian poet and mystic, he was born in Ganja in Azerbaijan
Particularly comical to read about the ease with which Azerbaijan could, but did not argue, writing off the fact that the "whole world" already knows, and who knows, the evidence does not require.
A special, honorable niche in a landmark speech, the Sultan took the theme of "Armenian theft" dolma, duduk and their ilk:
Armenians are not ashamed to steal our music. Assigns work of genius Uzeyir bek. Armenians also credited his dishes in our cuisine. They are trying different ways to present them as dishes of Armenian cuisine. Although the name of our national dishes - it's the Azeri word. If you ask an Armenian, which means in Armenian "dolma", then he can not answer it. Just like when you say "Karabakh", for them it is just a word, they do not understand its meaning. Since this is a non-Armenian word. Therefore, these actions have, of course, very upset.
In order not to repeat for the umpteenth time, simply recommend the Sultan and his speechwriters to finish reading before the end of kilometer topic at its own self-forums were derived from the original abstracts. Armenians can not know what the "dolma" and "Karabakh", but with a big appetite eat Tholme, living in a sheltered us from the Azerbaijani aggression Artsakh. By the way, not only Armenians. And it is able to evaluate the taste of the first and the charm of staying in the second, with no uninvited guests, carefully buried in oblivion its original status of the visitor.

We are not:

Throughout history we have never zarilis on national values and national heritage of another nation

Really? And how about Uzeyir-bey? He is as Azeri, as well as Nizami. U. Hajibeyov - ethnic Lezghins. And how about Mugam? Who successfully priHvatizirovan the Iranians, and elevated to the rank of national heritage? And what about "hachdashi? Successfully eliminated in Djugu, and then declared a purely Azerbaijani cultural heritage?
The list goes on ad infinitum.
It is surprising that podvorovyvaya autochthonous peoples in their heritage, Ilham Aliyev believes that the status robbed are the Azeri-Turkic component of this country, the culture is - an ax so ignorant of ANAS. Or, according to the concept of "total otoleraschivaniya, it does not take into account such trifles. "All yours - ours, all my - my - the main slogan of Focus tolerance.
One did not lie Helmsman, with dirt in Azerbaijan really bust:
You are well aware that the number of mud volcanoes in Azerbaijan is ranked first in the world. This is our greatest asset.

Does Lukashenko know which ones are his sons?

As a doctor I can help him in it. I seem the baboon's family obtained some Slavonic features; to qualify for EU. During centuries these creatures are mixed with every nation and nobody knows who they are in fact.

Did Ilham express his thanks to Lukashenko for making his family look like human?

Can someone post his son's pictures here? I'm going to carry out a DNA test.
