Azerbaijan Tries to Defile Armenia in Sight of International Community
According to some Azeri media, Armenian Ambassador to Iran Gegham Gharibjanian offered "official Tehran to engage Armenian forces for stifling rallies in South Azerbaijan."
The Azeri side has many times made provocative statements aiming at defiling Armenia in the sight of the international community. However, this statement is targeted not against Armenia but against Iran, political scientist Levon Melik-Shahnazaryan told a PanARMENIAN.Net reporter. In his words, Baku wants to represent Iran as a state incapable to solve its domestic and external problems independently. "As a matter of facts the things are quite different. First, the rallies of the Turkish-speaking Iranians are not so numerous as the Azeri press writes. Second, the failure of Pishevari and Sattar khan's adventures proved that Iran is capable to suppress any dissent that jeopardizes the unity of the state," he remarked.
As for the rallies of the Turkish-speaking Iranians, now Azerbaijan tries to address a message to the Unites States as if saying "Look, Armenians want to help Iran." Armenia really enjoys friendly relations with Iran. But our army is changed with other tasks and Baku perfectly knows how it can solve them," the Armenian expert said.
To note, acting Spokesman of the RA MFA Vladimir Karapetyan told PanARMENIAN.Net reporter that "Gegham Gharibjanian has been appointed Deputy Foreign Minister in early 2005."
