Qabil Ashirov read more When reading and hearing about the claims of Armenian history
and heritage, some could think that Armenians are more like
mushrooms springing up in every corner of this massive world.
However, when looking at their national identity, it is hard to
believe how they come a long way though the history.
In their eyes, any village, settlement, or city stepped by a
single Hay immediately allegedly turns into a historic Armenian
land dating back several thousands of years. If anyone attempts to
live and work in such places, Armenians will immediately start to
accuse him of trying to commit genocide against them.
Despite the number of Armenians throughout the world does not
exceed 10 million, they make territorial claims against different
countries in the world playing out from Azerbaijan to Egypt. The
last such claims were made against Israel recently by Armenian
media outlets.
As is known, under the flag of Israel, different nations live in
peace and harmony in Jerusalem, which is considered by the members
of three monotheistic religions. Armenians are one of these nations
and they live in the Armenian quarter of the city. Recently, a
European businessman of Jewish origin leased a piece of land in the
quarter to build a hotel to boost the economy and provide
workplaces for locals including Armenians. It was enough for
Armenians to perform Much Ado About Nothing. They organized protest
meetings, and Armenian mass media broadcast it describing the
leasing agreement as a genocide against Armenians, and Armenian
heritage in Jerusalem dating back 2000 years.
Some can think that it is one of the regular caprices of
Armenians, but we should recall that the Garabagh war started from
a single protest as if the Soviet Azerbaijani government had
economically discriminated against them, later it evolved into a
full-scale war. In addition, it should not be forgotten that the
Palestinian and Jordan governments expressed their support for
Armenians in the protests. Besides, taking into account that
Armenian terror organizations in the Middle East have had a tense
relationship with different Palestinian terror organizations and
Iranian support for these organizations, one can conclude that some
foreign forces try to destabilize Israel through Armenians.
In a comment for Azernews on the issue, Israeli
journalist Rachel Avraham noted that Armenian illegal activities
and deeds are well known to Israel.
"We already know that Armenia is a proxy of the regime in Iran.
Besides, Armenians have been collaborating with Palestinians dating
back to the days when Yasser Arafat lived in Lebonan. So, I'm not
very surprised that they would seek to cooperate with forces that
want to destabilize Israel, especially as the Azerbaijani relations
with Israel improve and get better and better," the journalist
said.
As for destroying Armenian heritage in Jerusalem and expelling
them from the quarter, Rachel called the accusation ridiculous.
"I don`t think Israelis have any plan to do such a thing, to
expel Armenians from a quarter of Jerusalem," she said.
Talking more about Armenia's greed for usurping larger
territories, she noted that Armenia and some Armenians, who have
been stuck in their obsolete dreams still chase up the idea of
establishing 'Greater Armenia'.
"They do not want to give up that dream and make a peace deal.
Relying on Iran and Russia, they chase this dream and that is why
they do not want to open Zangazur corridor and make a peace. They
look for excuses not to do it and blame Azerbaijan and Turkiye for
it," she noted
