Azerbaijan Tries to Defile Armenia in Sight of International Community

/PanARMENIAN.Net/ 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.’
