Expert in Iran Vardan Voskanyan commented on Facebook on recent statements made by Azerbaijani Ambassador to Turkey. "The Ambassador of the artificial formation called Azerbaijan in Turkey made an explicit statement that Azerbaijan cannot survive without Turkey. In reality, he could go on further and confess that the artificial formation named Azerbaijan could have not appeared on the world map after 1918 if the puppet Azerbaijani regime of the Ottomans didn't establish in Baku supported by Nuri Pasha bashibozuks," Voskanyan wrote.
The expert also questions the reasoning of the Baku dictator claiming that in 1918 the Azerbaijani government allegedly 'gifted Yerevan' to Armenia in a situation when without the support of the Ottomans the Azerbaijani government was unable to enter even Baku which was then mostly controlled by Armenian armed forces.
