What can be expected from Armenia? Exalting the goal of friendship one day and slandering their neighbors before the allies the next

 

Ву late 1919, the Armenian leaders at long last got the message: they needed friendship with Georgia. The virtual isolation of the Armenian Republic in 1919 underscored the importance of establishing normal relations with Georgia and thus safeguarding the single precarious lifeline from Batum to Erevan. The obstacles were formidable, as the cause of Armeno-Georgian affairs was predicated largely on a have and have-not basis. Georgia held most of the disputed territory and demonstrated Armenia’s vulnerability by frequently interrupted rail traffic and instituting reforms designed to eliminate the Armeno-Russian socioeconomic preponderance in Tiflis.

Isn’t it interesting Hovannissian doesn’t mention the war, much less that the Armenian leaders started it by a sneak attack? “The disdain with which many Allied officials treated the authorities in Tiflis, coinciding with the worldwide manifestations of sympathy for the Armenians, deepened Georgian resentment” (P 140 from the book of Hovannissian).

Of course, the corrupt dictators of Christian Armenia did not tell the democratic Christian Georgian government they were sending paid agents – yes, paid agents – all over the Christian world to drum up free handouts. Armenian didn’t want to share their free windfalls with their Christian brothers.

“Georgian newspapers observed sarcastically that the unfortunate Armenian people suffered from the absence of leaders, since those who claimed the title were unable to reach an accord even with the most favorably disposed neighboring government. But what else, queried “Borba” newspaper, could be expected from officials who exalted the goal of friendship one day and slandered their neighbors before the Allies the next?” (P 141).

There was good reason why Georgia didn’t trust its neighbor because the Armenians had an established history and reputation of double-dealing that continues to this day.

The Georgian Foreign Minister publicly denounced the ru-mor-mongering and expressed disappointment that the government of Armenia, in tolerating such deformation, was clinging to the dubious policies of the Paris Peace Conference rather than seeking Caucasian solutions to Caucasian problems. The Georgian press emphasized that view in commenting upon the Muslim uprisings in Armenia. While deploring both Turkish involvement and allied passivity, the political editors noted that the Armenians had not been blameless. Dashnak strategists had allowed partisan chiefs such as Dro, Hamogasp, and Andrandk to terrorize the Muslim population in pursuance of an ill-fated `Parisian orientation instead of a healthy “Caucasian” orientation (P 1 41-142).

Armenia has the old-world mind-set that anyone with a different faith must be eliminated. Armenia has it own brand of Christianity and by constitutional law, discourages any other form of Christianity from coming into their country. There is one exception to this: money. The Armenians will accept money from any form of Christianity.

As in the dark ages, Armenians hate and despise Muslims and have forced them out of the country. Armenia, with both Russian and U.S. military and financial aid, attacked Azerbaijan in 1992. The purpose was to rid 20 percent of Azerbaijan of more than 1 million Muslims and gobble up their lands for free. It is understandable why the Armenian friends in Russia would supply more than a billion dollars in military assistance to help take land in Azerbaijan. But why would the U.S. government also give this gang of thugs more than a billion dollars in additional in foreign aid even if Armenian agents lobbied for such funding that continues to this very day?

Even in 1919, Georgian Christians called upon the corrupt Armenian leaders to stop their reign of terror on Muslims. After all, Christians and Muslims had lived together in peace for a millennium before the corrupt Armenian dictator leaders attempted to launch a rebellion among the Muslims for the sole purpose of grabbing up their lands and possessions for free. To make matters worse, Armenians were never a majority in those lands they coveted – Muslims were. In other words, had the Armenians succeeded in their plan of betrayal, backstabbing, and aggression to establish greater Armenia, they would be a minority, which in turn means, they would create the “first Apartheid” system in the world, many decades before South Africa started it. So, what the Armenians bill as “the first genocide of the twentieth century” to unsuspecting Christians, is actually a failed attempt at the first apartheid in the twentieth century.

National Heroes of Azerbaijan

 

Nineteen-year-old hero machine gunner

 

Relatives, friends, acquaintances noted the 40th anniversary of a loved one without him: the birthday of this brave son of the Azerbaijani people, like an anniversary, they celebrate 21 years without the most “guilty.” Alas, this ceremony, unlike normal anniversary, was far from any grandiosity…

Rahimov Javanshir Izzet oglu was born June 5, 1973 in the village of Gashgachay of Gah district of Azerbaijan. When he was a one year old, the family moved to the village Garachukhur Surakhani district of Baku. After finishing 8th class of the 104th of village school, Javanshir entered in technical training college.

This young man with a good physique and physical health, along with study diligent went in for sports, and basically, a type of karate. In the youthful age Javanshir successfully executed norm of the master of sports. He dreamed to protect honor and glory of the Homeland on sporting arenas of the world. Yes, he with honor executed this dream. But only not on sports grounds of the world, but on the field of battle with enemy forces, for territorial integrity of the country.

In April, 1992 J. Rahimov was called on the active military service. And the service fell to its lot in the ranks of only just being created Air Forces of Azerbaijan. In very short term he mastered abilities and secrets of a profession of the onboard shooter of the military helicopter.

It was the difficult period of life of the young sovereign republic. Armenia which has started openly to make territorial claims against Azerbaijan, having used support of the president of the USSR of that time, self-interested M. Gorbachev, began to lead the country with an undeclared war. In those days soldiers and officers of the military unit which is deploying in the settlement Zabrat, often made flights in zones of intensive fights between the Armenian and Azerbaijani forces. Naturally, as well as other military personnel, Javanshir couldn’t stand aside from these events. And during the repeated flights he proved himself a skillful shooter, accurate fire having destroyed a large number of manpower of the opponent.

And last flight of J. Rahimov became history of our fights as a sample of the true heroism. On August 6, 1992 commander of crew of the MI-24 helicopter Ruslan Polovinko and machine gunner J. Rahimov rose in air. Two flights were realized successfully. Javanshir was wounded therefore the commander persistently demanded that he remained. But Rahimov was resolute and reported on the commander that he is ready to flight. MI-24 rose again in air. This time their machine was subjected to missile attack of the Armenian forces. The brave crew didn’t lose, even when the helicopter lost the equilibrium. But when they landed, was already late – whole helicopter was filled with a flame…

The commander and Javanshir died heroically. But the last was only 19 years old…

On September 16, 1992, Javanshir Izzat oglu Rahimov was posthumously conferred the honorary title of the National Hero of Azerbaijan by the decree of the President of Azerbaijan.

The hero was buried in the Alley of Martyrs. 146th school of Surakhani district of Baku city bears the name of the hero. His bust was set up in the settlement park of Garachukhur.

Nagorno-Karabakh: old misconceptions in new interpretation

(beginning in the previous issues)

Here’s how the Declaration of the chairman of Azerbaijani Revolutionary Committee (Azrevcom) N. Narimanov of 1 December 1920 was made “easy” amendments by the Bolsheviks. In the newspapers published in Baku “Communist” (02.12.1920) and “Baku worker” (03.12.1920) there was written about introduction of “the right for self-determination” to the villagers of Nagorno-Karabakh, but in the “Communist” newspaper published in Armenia it was written about “recognition of Nagorno-Karabakh as a part of Armenian Socialist Reoublic”. Such rough falsification of the text of the Declaration strongly outraged N. Narimanov. In discussion of Karabakh problem at the assembly of Caubureau of CC RCP he ordered to the national commissar over external affairs M. D. Huseynov, being in Tiflis in June 1921, to introduce his views to Caucasian Bureau about Nagorno-Karabakh. (To the history of establishment of Nagorno-Karabakh Autonomic Province of SSR. Documents and materials. Baku, 1989, p.89).

Appears a question: has anybody seen the original text of the Declaration in Armenia and Russia? You know, besides the views of G. Orjonikidze there was also a telegram with the text of the Declaration directed to Armrevcom with signatures of N. Narimanov and M. D. Huseynov. Basing on this document the member of Armrevcom Askanaz Mravyan informed the Armenian representative in Moscow Saak Ter-Gabrielyan that Azerbaijan as if had stated the transfer of Zangazur and Nakhchivan and about the referendum in Nagorno-Karabakh (From the member of Armenian Revolutionary Committee (A. Mravyan) to the representative of Soviet Armenia in Russia Ter-Gabrielyan. 04.01.1921// Archive of External Politics of Russian Federation. File 232, p.14). Even later, at the compilation of documents “Great October socialist revolution and victory of Soviet powers in Armenia” published in 1957 in Erevan there was published the original text of the Declaration kept in the Central State Archive of Armenia. (Great October socialist revolution and victory of Soviet powers in Armenia. Erevan, 1957, p.437-438). From the middles of 1980 years the Armenian authors, and also the Russian politicians at recent times preferred to address not the original text, but its “amended” version. Unfortunately, this operation with Karabakhian documents isn’t the first and the last.

Why there was an idea about transfer of Zangazur to Armenia at the Declaration of N.Narimanov? In real, this idea took the source from Moscow, from Politbureau of CC RCP. Initiator of the declaration was G. Orjonikidze. But why G. Orjonikidze, recognizing until the subordination of Zangazur to Azerbaijan, changed his views in a moment? By the mean of giving Zangazur to Armenia, he wanted to drive a wedge between Azerbaijan and Turkey for that in future he could reduce to minimum the threatens by Turkish side to Azerbaijan. Being on the way from Baku to Moscow, on 23 November 1920 I. Stalin from Rostov-on-Don talked with V. Lenin about that due to Ojonikidze’s information, the main danger was the efforts of the Turks for having general borders with Azerbaijan. Related with the mentioned moment, Orjonikidze suggested preventing the plans of the Turks by the mean of transferring Zangazur to Armenia (Conversation of I. Stalin with V. Lenin. 23.11.1920//file 232, p.47). That’s why the Turks looked over the agreement between Soviet Russia and dashnak Armenia, also the friendship relations between those countries after sovietization of the last one as a shell on the way of Turkey to Muslim nations of Caucasus (B. Legran’s letter to G. Chicherin. 22.12.1920//RGASPI, p.5).

But on 4 November 1920, in the days of famous visit of I. Stalin to the Caucasus, there was organized local assembly of CC ACP and Caubureau of CC RCP where B. Legran’s report was listened about position of works in Armenia and there was also adopted a resolution. At the article “b” of the document related with the discussed agreement between Russia and Armenia, it was mentioned: “To inform the view of Politbureau at the same time about that the suggested article in the agreement about transfer of Nakhchivan and Zangazur (suggested by Moscow – J. G.) is profitable neither from political, nor strategic relations and can be told only at the worst”. At the article “d” N. Narimanov was ordered to make bases for the view of Politbureau about Nakhchivan and Zangazur (Protocol N4 of the local assembly of CC ACP and Caubureau. 04.11.1920// Archive of political documents in Administration of president of Azerbaijani Republic. case 22, p. 20).

As we see, at that time Nagorno-Karabakh problem didn’t exist and that’s why it wasn’t discussed. On 20 November 1920 the diplomatic mission of Soviet Russia visited Erevan. One of the first steps of the mission was to track the continuation of negotiations between Armenia and Turkey in Gumru, also the task about solving the territorial pretensions of Armenia against Azerbaijan and Georgia. National commissar over external affairs of RSFSR G. Chicherin got information about that “existence of Armenian nation at that time was depending on diplomacy more than its military powers. It is necessary to refuse the party romanticism and to base only to the severe realism”. And the diplomatic mission mentioned to Chicherin about the Armenian claims for Karabakh: “Holding negotiations with the Turks in Batumi, Kachaznuni and Khatisyan (it is talked about the peace conference in Batumi in May-June 1918 – J. G.) got an agreement with the Turks about giving Karabakh to Azerbaijan” (To the natcom over external affairs Chicherin by the diplomatic delegation of Soviet Russia in Iravan. November 1920//p.15).

History of Armenian terrorism

(beginning in the previous issue)

 

“Revenge in order to assist to diplomacy”

 

According to official version, Armenian terrorists of 20-ies and 30-ies were impelled only by feeling of revenge. However, even brief analysis of the situation left no doubts: similar to the end of XIX – start of XX century, reasons of Armenian terror were purely political.

In fact, for Armenia the period of twenties-thirties was the period of ups and downs of their hopes. On August 10, 1920 in Sevres of France the Serves agreement was signed between 10 countries of Entente, representatives of Armenia and Khidjaz, future Saudi Arabia as a one party and the Ottoman empire as the other party, which envisaged to turn over to Armenia of those “six provinces” of Eastern Anatolia. To say, that Armenia was embraced by euphoria, it means to say nothing – a little bit more and on the map will emerge “Western Armenia”, the west would help us and it seems easy not to pay attention to the fact that in April of the same year in deserted railway station Ankara the hero of battle near Chanaggala – Mustafa Kemal pasha convened alternative parliament – Great National Assembly of Turkey and proclaimed Turkish Republic.

However, negotiations were prolonged and the process did not give Armenians a basis for optimism. At first, two-year Paris peace conference, then start of negotiation process in Lausanne… Situation speedily changed: Serves treaty, which promised creation of “Western Armenia” on lands of Eastern Turkey was thrown into the rubbish-bin of history and hope of “grab-it-isation” of Turkish lands, which seemed so close, had suddenly vanished.

It is just the rhetoric question whether Armenians would attempt to “remind the world” about their “tragedy” by use of terror. Moreover, terroristic methods of Armenians were not just used by Armenian politicians – due to various reasons, which detailed analysis could not be fulfilled within the framework of one newspaper article, terror became one of the major method of struggle for interests of Armenian political elite from the end of XIX century. Choose of victims is also meaningful: bullets of “avengers” reach members of governments, which were removed from power. Azerbaijan Democratic Republic was annexed by Soviet Russia, the government of Young Turks also was thrown aside… It is impossible to find better victims of “demonstrative terror” – on the one hand “response measures” of the state would be, is any, not so severe as for “acting” official, on the other hand, victims were famous and “promoted” persons in order to attract attention of media by demonstrative murder.

“Cult of terror”

 

Whether the terror unleashed by dashnaks in twenties of the last century allowed to reach their goals in diplomatic arena is the theme of separate study. In any case they failed to reanimate Serves treaty. Besides there were a lot of “unsolved problems” between Entente countries and Turkey – and absolutely unexpectedly for European diplomacy! – now they had to negotiate with Turkey, not dictate their conditions. In Europeans capitals they were more concerned by issues of maritime traffic in Bosporus and Dardanelle straits than by “historic rights of long-suffering Armenian nation”. Armenians caused the interest until they could be used as a mean of pressure over the Turkey, but later, when the war was lost, they turned into “poor relative” to which no one wanted to mess about.

But political murders of twenties played more ominous role in the history. That is because namely those events ultimately led to generation of cult of terror in Armenian community. Sogomon Teyleryan like his many “crime-partners” from “Nemesis” rested on laurels as “national hero” until his death in San-Francisco in 1960. Many newspaper articles, literary works were devoted to “Avengers”, the people literally kissed their hands. Right-minded people in western countries just sniggled: any nation has its own history…

“Political technologies” of twenties were turn to be useful after tens of years – at the start of seventies, when Middle Eastern Armenians, who better than their neighbors-Arabs knew why Sogomon Teyleryan and Shagen Natali were “canonized”, entered Palestinian terroristic organizations of “Black September” type. Arab leaders started to express opinions that company of terror forced the world to remember about “tragedy of Palestinian people”. In the middle of 70-ies “Group of Gurgen Yanikyan” emerged, which later became “Armenian Secret Army of Liberation of Armenia” – ASALA. More than fifty Turkish diplomats in many countries around the world became the victims of Armenian terrorists, among them citizens of the USA, France, Switzerland and other countries…

Later, when independent Armenia emerged on map, terroristic methods became more needed and here, irrespective of whether these are attempts to “pressure” over Azerbaijan (Armenian secret services organized tens terroristic acts on the territory of our republic) or internal political “shootout” – in practice almost each internal “shake” in Armenia starts with a series of political murders and “parliamentary shooting” on October 27 of 1999 was considered as most high-profile scandal on post-Soviet territory until the start of Chechen terror.

But in September of 2003, after shock of October 27 in Armenia and world-wide distress after September 11, 2001 terrorist attack in the USA, the monument devoted to Sogomon Teyleryan has been opened. And similar to the events of March 15 of 1921, the world played blind to this.
