Difference b/w Armenia & Azerbaijan Econ. Potential Azeri Propaganda

DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ECONOMIC POTENTIALS OF ARMENIA AND AZERBAIJAN IS
ONE OF BAKU’S PROPAGANDA ARGUMENTS

YEREVAN, FEBRUARY 26. ARMINFO. The difference between the economic
potentials of Armenia and Azerbaijan has been one of the propaganda
arguments of Baku since 1989, Armenia’s President Robert Kocharyan
says in an interview to the readers of Golos Armenii.

It was this conviction that pushed Azerbaijan to start war against
Nagorny Karabakh in 1992. It’s enough to see the Azeri press and to
listen to what their officials say to understand this. The result is
known. Today economic potential is not just how much oil one produces
but how effective his economy is. In this aspect Armenia is certainly
ahead of Azerbaijan, says Kocharyan.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
