Does the CIA Director expect Baku's support in the Iranian issue?

PanARMENIAN.Net - According to some sources, the CIA Director arrived in Baku late in the evening on September 27. During his stay in Baku Hayden stayed in the private hotel in the city center, where special security measures were taken. He left Baku early in the evening on September 28. Most probably, Hayden arrived in Baku to find out Baku's final position in the Iranian issue. The USA made it quite clear to the World Community that the issue of attacking Iran is only a matter of time. And to realize this all that they need is the support of the neighboring countries and first of all of Azerbaijan.

The Azeri Mass Media and political analysts have long been assuring that the USA may use Azerbaijan as a base for the probable military actions against Iran. The truth is though that the US government has more than once denied such a probability and the authorities of Azerbaijan also emphasized, that they are not interested in taking part in the military campaign against Iran, the country whose population is mostly Shiite like in Azerbaijan and which is in very tight cultural and religious relationship with the population of Iran.

In this issue the USA doesn't count on Armenia at all, and this is very right. Moreover the USA understands that in case of war Armenia may completely fall out of the American influence, something which they definitely do not want to happen. For Georgia the USA is the main "fright" in its confrontations with Russia. There is only Azerbaijan left which needs to be "cut" away from Russia and should be made the "outpost" in the Islamic world. At present America has two more or less reliable allies, they are Turkey and Saudi Arabia. But Turkey may aside because of the Armenian Genocide. As for Azerbaijan, needs being coaxed and the visit of the CIA Director in this regard is a very profitable step.

In addition to all this, Hayden's visit was very timely. The relations between Iran and Azerbaijan have lately become colder. Baku tends to reach out more for Ankara, and the USA encourages this tendency. This is more than strange, if taking into consideration the fact that 80-85% of the Azerbaijani are Shiite, like in Iran. However, the matter of religion is of secondary importance in the given situation. The territorial claims of Azerbaijan to its neighbors, except for Turkey, are of much more importance.

The National Security and Foreign Policy Committee Chairman of Mejlis of Iran Aladdin Borujerdi expressed his dissatisfaction with the new geographic map made in Azerbaijan and announced that the territories of Iran and several neighboring countries shown as the territories belonging to Azerbaijan speaks for the US and Israeli policy carried out in the region.

Borujerdi also added, that Iran respects the territorial integrity of the neighboring countries, says the Iranian Agency ISNA. "If the issue of the territorial claims is put forward, first of all the territories of Azerbaijan, seized from Iran, should be returned," announced Borujerdi. The Agency ISNA assures that the new map printed by the Institute of History of National Academy of Azerbaijan displays the territories of Iran and of several neighboring countries as belonging to.

Serious people do not pay any attention to the fact of appropriation of land, culture and even origins. The only questions are how long Azerbaijan will do whatever comes to its mind coming to believe in US support and how long the USA will protect "the most democratic President" of the Caucasus after Saakashvili of course.
