Azerbaijan Blames ‘Armenian Lobby’ For Deepening Row With Iran
High-ranking representatives of Azerbaijan’s ruling party have blamed Armenia and the worldwide “Armenian lobby” for their country’s mounting tensions with Iran that led Tehran to withdraw its ambassador from Baku on Tuesday.
The envoy was recalled “for consultations” after months of bitter recriminations traded by the two neighboring nations over alleged interference in each other’s affairs.
Iran has accused fellow Shia Muslim Azerbaijan of helping Israel to assassinate Iranian nuclear scientists and facilitating possible Israeli and U.S. air strikes against the Islamic Republic’s nuclear facilities. The Azerbaijani government strongly denies this, saying implicitly that Tehran itself has been fomenting Islamic extremism on its territory. Dozens of people have been arrested in Azerbaijan this year on suspicion of links with Iran’s Revolutionary Guards.
Earlier this month, hundreds of angry Azerbaijanis demonstrated outside the Iranian Embassy in Baku in a series of apparently government-organized protests. They condemned, among other things, Iran’s warm ties with Christian Armenia. Some of the protesters carried derogatory pictures of Iran’s President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
Tehran reacted angrily to the protests this week, with a senior Iranian cleric reportedly urging Muslims in the region to protest the Azerbaijani government’s “anti-Islamic” behavior. In particular, Ayatollah Sobhani cited Baku’s hosting of the annual Eurovision Song Contest that began on Tuesday.
The ensuing departure of the Iranian ambassador drew a strong condemnation from senior members of Azerbaijan’s government-controlled parliament. “The Armenian lobby is behind the anti-Azerbaijani propaganda conducted against the background of the Eurovision song contest,” the parliament speaker, Oktay Asadov, was quoted by the Baku daily “Zerkalo” as saying.
“Armenian [Internet] sites reported beforehand on the scenario of the anti-Azerbaijani campaign launched in Iran,” Asadov said during a parliament session. “There is evidence of that.”
Mubariz Gurbanli, the deputy executive secretary of President Ilham Aliyev’s Yeni Azerbaycan Party, likewise alleged on Wednesday close cooperation between the Iranian leadership and “the Armenian lobby.” “Some circles as well as groups within the current Iranian regime are repeating the actions of the Armenian lobby and executing its orders,” he said, according to the Trend news agency.
Gurbanli claimed that the Armenians also had a hand in recent anti-Aliyev demonstrations held in Tebriz, a city in northern Iran mostly populated by ethnic Azerbaijanis. He also made the point that Azerbaijan’s victory in last year’s Eurovision, which entitled it to hosting the 2012 show, demonstrated his country’s “superiority over Armenia.”
“Worried about this success by Azerbaijan, the Armenian side is making every effort to hinder this event and denigrate it in eyes of others,” the Azerbaijani official charged.
Armenia announced earlier this year that it will boycott the Eurovision show in Baku because of Aliyev’s March 1 remark that “the Armenians of the world” are his nation’s main enemy.
The Azerbaijani president made a similar, albeit more carefully worded, statement on April 16. “For us, the number one enemy is the Armenian lobby,” he said, holding it responsible for Western criticism of his government’s poor human rights record.

Re: Iranian-Armenian relations
maybe it's the fate of iranian armenians to come back to the motherland after all these centuries. In contrast, most syrian armos will go to Europe.- Большинство политологов в России прогнозируют, что война в Иране неизбежна. Какое у Вас на этот счет мнение? Если, не дай Бог, начнется война, какие шаги предпримет армянская община Ирана? Возможен ли переезд армян на постоянное место жительства в Республику Армения, или это будут какие-то другие страны? Готова ли будет Армения принять беженцев из Ирана?
- У меня немного другие прогнозы, и я надеюсь, война в Иране все же «избежна». По крайней мере, в ближайшее время. Меньше шансов избежать ее у Сирии, которую западный мир воспринимает как выход Ирана в арабский мир. План прост, хотя от этого он не становится менее подлым: уничтожить Сирию и перекрыть Ирану еще один доступ к кислороду. Не рискуя напасть на Иран, США, Израиль и Ко надеются задушить его. После Ирана на очереди, кстати, Россия.
Что касается армянской общины Ирана, а, в данном случае, также и Сирии, я считаю, что, будучи гражданами этих стран, они, скорее всего, будут выполнять свой гражданский долг. Не надо забывать, как и почему армяне оказались там, особенно в Сирии. Что же касается их семей, то вопрос – Готова ли Армения принять их? – просто не должен стоять. Обязана!
Исходя из исторических реалий, родственных и экономических связей большая часть армянской диаспоры Сирии уедет в Европу и США. С Ираном ситуация иная. В случае форс-мажорного развития ситуации в этой стране мы должны быть готовы к тому, что в Армению переедет большинство армянского населения Ирана.

You guys should give it a read. He talks about how Stalin created azerbaijan because he wanted to claim Northern Iran quoting Vasily Bartold, Russian historian and Turcologist:
He talks about how Stalin referred to famous Iranian poets and artists as famous azeris, etc.

The text written in old Armenian, in essenance represents the history of Armenias provinces of Artsakh and Utik.
Kaghankatvatsi , repeating Korenatsi mentions the very name"Aghavank"/"Albania" is of Armenian origin and relates it to the Armenian word" Aghu". Korenatsi states that "Aghu" was a nickname given to
Prince Arran, who the Armenian King Vagharshak 1 appointed as governor of northeastern provinces bordering on Armenia. According toa legendary tradition reported by Korenatsi , Arran was a descendant of Sisak, the ancestor of Siunids, of Armenias province of Syunik, descendant of Haig.Leave a comment:

Re: Iranian-Armenian relations
One time when I was a child I asked my grandfather what ( inch ) meant? They did not teach us ( personal reasons) Armenian, but the spoke it all the time. So my grandfather teased me and told me ( inch ) meant meant one inch as in 12 inches to the foot. Your comment reminded me of a childhood memory of my grandfather playing with me. Thank you.Originally posted by UrMistake View Post

Re: Iranian-Armenian relations
The constant invasions that my country has been subjected to with the accompanying distruction of buildings waterworks and vast amounts of writings along with Mesrobs distructons of all ancient rememberences has left my family with only memorys (ours and others).Originally posted by bell-the-cat View PostThat just says so much.
Most people, when faced with a historical question they don't know the answer to will try to consult books, academic studies, maybe even contact an expert in the field. But not Armenians it seems - they just phone their aged relatives. And those aged relatives, when, in their youth, were asked a historical question they didn't know the answer to, did not try to consult books, academic studies, or even contact an expert in the field, but just asked their aged relatives - and so on, back through the generations. In this way the bliss of happy ignorance is preserved intact through time.
Must remember your "when the waters subsided" comment though - that one is world class for stupidity.
Coupled with the extreme trauma and heartbreak that Hay has been by all the (wonderful) people that found out where we were living I can see in your words the heart of a stranger.
