Melik-Shahnazarian: Azerbaijan’s Policy Contradicts Interests Of Tur

MELIK-SHAHNAZARIAN: AZERBAIJAN’S POLICY CONTRADICTS INTERESTS OF TURKEY

Thursday,
February 21

Azerbaijan’s policy in the region does not proceed from the interests
of Turkey in the context of its relations with Israel and the
activation of the Kurdish factor, political scientist Levon
Melik-Shahnazarian said at the meeting with reporters today.

In his words, Azerbaijan impedes the normalization of Armenian-Turkish
relations, which also contradicts Turkey’s interests in terms of its
relationship with Europe.

Melik-Shahnazarian said that a weak Azerbaijan would be advantageous to Turkey.

“Ankara wants Azerbaijan to be dependent on Turkey, as was the case in
1918-1920,” he noted.

“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
