Qabil Ashirov read more As far as it can be seen, the passion and enthusiasm for
Armenian propaganda based on the myth about great Armenia playing
out from the Caspian Sea to the Black Sea is getting dampened. This
sacred myth for Armenians has a claim that as though Armenians are
the most civilized and the most ancient nation in the world, and
everybody in the world is obliged to fight and die for them. This
fetish belief drove them to the extremes of terrorism, genocide and
finally invasion. Even fanatically believing in this fabrication,
Armenians tried to wrest Garabagh from Azerbaijan.
Taking advantage of the internal turmoils and economic crisis in
Azerbaijan, Armenians were able to invade 20 percent of Azerbaijani
territories and expelled over 1 million residents from their
hometowns 32 years ago. Although it was useless in every visit,
Azerbaijan did not take a step back from the negotiations even for
a moment. The whole world witnessed the exhausting processes at the
negotiating table. Finally, the biggest offer for reintegration -
the offer to give Garabagh the highest status - came from
Azerbaijan. However, the society, brainwashed with past mythical
ideas of the most civilized and ancient nation, rejected this
proposal. Even having gone further, David Tonoyan, the former
Armenian Defense Minister, solemnly announced a new war, new
territories.
Following this motto, Armenia attacked Azerbaijan to snatch new
territories in 2020. So, Azerbaijan was obliged to respond with a
counterattack.. First, Hayk demanded assistance from other nations
and called them to come to Garabagh to fight against Azerbaijan for
them. Then they started to beg but nobody came to help them due to
their brazen and disgraceful ideology. So, the war resulted in a
humiliating defeat for Armenians as a result of which Prime
Minister Nikol Pashinyan signed the November 10 Statement – the
capitulation act. Swift and unexpected defeat fumed the Armenian
society and they poured into the streets to hold protests. The
meeting continued for several days, but nobody understood to whom
they protested. The streets of Yerevan were alive with reproaches
directed to all nations in the world for not having come to
sacrifice themselves for the sake of the "most civilized and
ancient" nation. Russian blogger's interview with an unknown old
Hay became a culmination of the protests. The old man was very
angry and solemnly claimed that he had made Vladimir Putin the
president of Russia by shouting. Ostensibly, he asked a friend of a
friend of a friend of Boris Yeltsin, the former president of
Russia, to make Putin president after him. Actually, the interview
revealed how deeply the Armenian myth influenced the citizens. The
old man really believed that Armenians are so a well-esteemed
nation in the world that even when Russian state apparatus chooses
the president, it takes into account the desire of a Hay living in
a remote village in Armenia. He was so sure that Vladimir Putin was
not elected by Russians but appointed to the post in accordance
with his request. So, he reproached Vladimir Putin for not sending
the Russian Army to fight against Azerbaijan.
All surveys conducted by different foreign organizations read
that prior to the war in 2020, the majority of Armenians believed
that someone will come to save Armenia. But it did not happen. But
Armenians did not accept the reality and continued to take
advantage of the goodwill demonstrated by Azerbaijan. Despite being
the victor, Azerbaijan complied with the commitments of the
November 10 Statement. In contrast, Armenians persistently violate
their obligation. Even today, they are reluctant to open the
Zangazur corridor. Despite being detected, they continued to
transfer illegally some weapons into Khankendi. They did all
provocations. Smuggling forbidden products to Khankendi and firing
at Azerbaijani servicemen were the last straws. Azerbaijan closed
the Lachin Border Checkpoint only for security purpose. Hoping that
someone will come to save them, they performed a "tragedy named a
humanitarian crisis in Garabagh." Through this period, Azerbaijan
offered reintegration again and again. Of course, the answer was
no.
However, last week, Samvel Babayan, one of the leaders of
separatists in Khankendi spoke about opening a common market in
Agdam where both Azerbaijanis and Armenians will collaborate
initially. Despite he explained his proposal in favor of
separatists, many on social media said that it is a hint for
integration. As everybody was busy making out the market proposal,
Dilara Afandiyeva, the head of the Centre "Women: Peace and
Security" operating under the Dilara Aliyeva Azerbaijan Society for
Protection of Women's Rights, stated that several Armenians in
Garabagh have made calls to the hotline requesting that they wanted
to accept Azerbaijani citizenship. She said that Armenians also ask
questions about the fate of the people who fought against
Azerbaijan in the first and second Garabagh Wars. Besides, they
also are interested in getting pensions from Azerbaijan. All this
foreshadows the crumbling of the Armenian myth. It reveals that at
last Armenians understood that nobody care about them and with such
kind of demands they just lose their face. At last, after tasting
the the power of the Iron Fist over their heads, they understood
that the reintegration is the only solution.
