Re: War in The Middle East
USA AIMS TO START WAR IN MIDDLE EAST, RUSSIAN PUNDIT TELLS AZERI WEBSITE
A Moscow-based Islamic leader has described a recent US draft bill as attempt to start war in the Middle East. In an exclusive interview with Azerbaijani website Day.az, the head of the Islamic Committee of Russia, Geydar Dzhemal said that "the resolution on "the genocide" of the Armenians in the Ottoman empire in 1915 together with the plans to divide Iraq means that the USA now intends to head for confrontation not only with Iran, but also with Turkey and Syria, by distancing itself from Israel. In a word, the USA wants a big war." The following is the excerpts from Emin Alakbarov's report on Day.az headlined "Geydar Dzhemal: "Washington has adopted a policy to destabilize the situation in the region. The resolution on "the genocide" of the Armenians together with the plans to divide Iraq means that the USA now intends to head for confrontation not only with Iran, but also with Turkey and Syria"; subheadings have been inserted editorially: An exclusive interview with the chairman of the Islamic Committee of Russia, Geydar Dzhemal. USA does not need Turkey any longer?
[Correspondent] Which interests does Washington have by actually recognizing "the genocide of the Armenians"?
[Dzhemal] The adoption of the resolution indicates two moments. First, Washington has ceased to view Ankara as its ally in the Middle East. This fact can be confirmed by the plans of the USA to divide Iraq into three parts, in one of which an independent country - Iraqi Kurdistan will be set up. As is known, Turkey is strongly against the US plans in Iraq. The US Congress has clearly shown that it "does not care" about the opinion of Ankara, indicating that the Turks are of no interest for them [the Americans]. In addition, the Congress passed the resolution on "the genocide of the Armenians". The acts of the Americans are making Turkey an enemy for the USA. Today the Turkish army is carrying out sporadic military operations in northern Iraq in coordination with the Iranian army. Second, Israel and its lobby are much unhappy with the adoption of the resolution since Tel-Aviv has an exclusive right to claim the holocaust. Israel's reaction was tough when France passed a resolution on "the genocide of the Armenians" and a law to prosecute anyone who does not recognize this "genocide" on its territory, comparing it with the holocaust. It means that the Americans have decided to distance themselves from the position of the xxxish lobby to a great extent. What is it leading to? It is leading to the fact that Washington has adopted a policy to destabilize the situation in the region. The resolution on "the genocide" of the Armenians together with the plans to divide Iraq means that the USA now intends to head for confrontation not only with Iran, but also with Turkey and Syria, by distancing itself from Israel. In a word, the USA wants a big war.
War to make gains
[Correspondent] Why do the Americans want this war?
[Dzhemal] The US hopes to benefit from this war since the First and Second World Wars have elevated the USA from a marginal nation to what it is now. In 1945 the Americans occupied Europe. But today Washington is losing its positions and therefore intends to start war in the Middle East in order to regain its status of a one-polar referee that makes judgments on the fate of the world.
[Correspondent] Is the USA capable of defeating such countries as Iran, Turkey and Syria which have strong military forces in view of the deplorable consequences of the US war in Iraq?
[Dzhemal] It has been decided to make air strikes on Iran. The Americans rule out the possibility of carrying out land operations. The USA hopes that such operations will be possible through the domestic resources of Iran - ethnic Azerbaijanis and Kurds. As for Turkey, Washington relies on the united Kurdistan of northern Iraq and western Iran. The Turkish army will be bogged down in the war with the Kurds, which may lead to the collapse of the Turkish state and provoke a crisis in Syria. Israel will also be involved in this conflict. The Americans will help both sides of the conflict, acting as a referee until the last moment, at which they will be able to enter the game as they did in 1944 to shape the region in the way they wish. The USA in no way intends to get involved in this full-scale war like in Iraq. The USA hopes for an armed conflict between the states of the Middle East as in the First and Second World Wars.
[Correspondent] Do you think that the plan of the Americans will end in their victory?
[Dzhemal] The war will be pursued not just in the Middle East. Russia and most probably Europe will also be involved in it. If this is the case, I do not think that the Americans will emerge unscathed from this situation because the USA is parasitically dependent on the external world today.
[Passage omitted: The USA may be affected by the ramifications]
I think that the plans developed by the George Bush administration will eventually erase the USA from the political board as a player. But this will take place, of course, through the great sufferings of the peoples of the Middle East.
Baku must refuse "US provocations"
[Correspondent] How does Baku need to act in this situation since it also affects the interests of Azerbaijan?
[Dzhemal] First of all, it is important to strengthen regional relations with the neighbouring countries and not to give in to American provocations. [Baku] should not accept any proposal from the Americans on any military partnership against its neighbours. Baku must develop military and diplomatic cooperation with Tehran and Ankara. Only this can save Azerbaijan from becoming a frontline cellar for the American army.
Armenia made "outlaw"
[Correspondent] Will Armenia benefit from this situation?
[Dzhemal] The resolution makes Armenia an outlaw. "The genocide" does not give it a chance to negotiate with anybody. Now Israel will also be negative about Armenia. The Americans made this resolution to take Yerevan out of the influence of Moscow and Tehran. The USA has Georgia and is negotiating with Azerbaijan. If Armenia becomes an enemy for Iran and Russia, remaining in full dependence of US aid, Yerevan will not have a chance to remain on the map as a country. Tehran and Moscow are Yerevan's tickets to life. Thus, the adoption of the resolution is a silent move leading to a wide-scale and long-term destabilization of the situation in the Middle East.
Turkey to step up anti-terror operation in Iraq
[Correspondent] What steps will Turkey take with its strong position to maintain its national interests?
[Dzhemal] I think that the Turkish army will expand its anti-terror operations in northern Iraq in response to the resolution. Moreover, the military operations against the Kurds will be carried out in coordination between the general staff of the Turkish and Iranian armies, which will bring Ankara and Tehran closer in military terms. The degree of toughness and independence of the Turkish army in Iraq will grow.
[Correspondent] Can we say that the Turkish, Azerbaijani and xxxish Diasporas have suffered a setback from the Armenian diaspora?
[Dzhemal] It is a pyrrhic victory. I would like to assure you that "the genocide" will make Armenia an outlaw. The recognition of "the genocide" by the Congress may strip Yerevan of the support from Moscow and Tehran. The Armenian Diaspora may be left without a geopolitical subject on the map unless Yerevan refuses "the genocide".
