‘Azerbaijan never existed in history, it was created by the Soviet Union’: Political expert

1. > “Aliyev decided to change his relations with Russia. It started with his refusal to come to Moscow for Victory Day and continued with provocative anti-Russian statements, without any basis, regarding the plane crash. This Russophobic campaign has moved from statements to concrete actions towards Russia, Russian citizens, and media representatives. Aliyev has made it clear he believes that Russia has no place in the Caucasus, that Russia is weak and there is no need to take it seriously. We also often see purely provocative fraternization with Ukraine and statements in support of Kiev. Aliyev probably came to the conclusion that today, after the war with Armenia, or rather after Pashinyan betrayed Armenia and surrendered everything, Azerbaijan has power. He decided that Russia is weakened, and Turkey, the main patron of Azerbaijan, is getting stronger, and therefore now is the time to take an anti-Russian, Russophobic position in order to get all the benefits from the US, from Europe, and all the claims against Azerbaijan for violating human rights are forgotten. That is, this is a pure, cold, cynical calculation. In his sharp turn, he has already surpassed Pashinyan and stood in the same row with Zelensky and Saakashvili,” Kedmi said in an interview with RusArm Info.

   > Russia is showing great patience, but if things move to specific actions against the Russian Federation, it will respond, the expert warned.

   > “Russia is trying to assure Azerbaijan that it is ready to restore friendly relations, that this is all for the benefit of both countries, and in general there is no need to aggravate relations. It seems to me that if all this moves to specific actions against Russia, like attempting to bring the West into the region, this will be the line that Russia will not be able to tolerate”.

   > “Very often in history, it happened that a country did not correctly calculate its strength, went on adventures and it ended badly for it. Ukraine refused to come to an agreement with Russia, continuing its Russophobic policy. And where is Ukraine now, what is left of it and where is it heading? **Azerbaijan is playing with fire. Azerbaijan has never existed in history, it was created by the Soviet Union, only in the Soviet Union was there an Azerbaijani republic. Georgia existed, Armenia existed, Azerbaijan never existed, and the people were under different names, and the majority of the Azerbaijani people now live in Iran. There were nations whose leaders in their history took unwise steps, overestimating their strength and their people paid for it. Azerbaijan can very quickly slide into the same situation”.**

   > According to the expert, Turkey’s plans regarding Armenia have always been the same, only the wording was different.

   > “If the Armenian leadership wants Armenia to disappear as a state, then let it rely on Turkey. The Armenian people have never had a greater threat and a greater enemy that destroyed Armenians than Turkey”.

   > Touching upon Pashinyan’s visit to Russia, the expert noted that this was done with the aim of showing that he has not completely broken off relations with Russia.

   > “Pashinyan has not yet reached the stage of a severance of relations with Russia, so he is trying to demonstrate, like, no, I have not left yet. So, the purpose of the visit is just that, to show that I have not completely severed relations. But under the influence of Azerbaijan and Turkey, he can go even further”, Kedmi noted.

   > The expert points out that the events in Nagorno-Karabakh and Syria, the weakening of Iran, and Russia’s non-participation in key regional processes have inspired Baku.

   > “Russia did not participate actively in all these events. That is why Aliyev decided to turn to the United States and declare that Azerbaijan and Turkey rule in the Caucasus – and Russia is not there, it can be ignored”.

   > According to the expert, this course can exist exactly until Russia shows its strength. As soon as the military operation, in Ukraine ends, the picture will change. Kedmi predicts a tough response, and not only at the diplomatic level.

   > “Azerbaijan has deliberately entered the anti-Russian camp and is now behaving like an adversary, not a partner. Aliyev is making the same mistake as many before him. He has already decided that he has won. But in politics, as in chess, the most important thing is not the first move, but the last one. And it is made by the one who controls the board”.

2. This is just further Russian warmongering. They lament their lost empire and will drown their neighbors in blood to make their proteststion known. Right now its a 12 to 1 rate in Ukraine and Russia is losing ground. They very soon will need more population to draw on as they will be out of man power.

3. The special service was actually for contact with Soviet block jews. And it lost that status 30 years ago. Also he is 78 his political expertise is questionable

4. The Azerbaijan Democratic Republic was declared in 1918 and existed until it was invaded by the Red Army in 1920. This “political expert” is talking bollocks.

5. The last time mongering like this ensued, Russians ended up forever laying down in neighboring flower fields.

   I’m now curious what Azerbaijan’s common/national flower is to set the tone going forward.

6. Seems like the Russian empire is collapsing on multiple fronts. Not only did the Soviet Union fall apart to the point where the whole eastern bloc and even Ukraine prefer allegiance to the west, but now even Asian countries that have historically been allied with Russia are starting to hate their oppressive antics. With Turkey, Azerbaijan, Armenia, and many others starting to sway away from their influence, soon Russia will have few allies in the region. They continue to fight a “civil war” with Ukraine and drain their men, resources, and economy, all the while the West profits off arm sales to Ukraine with negligible personal casualties. In the end I don’t see this panning out well for Russia. Perhaps the country will split into multiple smaller countries, and the continued collapse of Russian rule will manifest ever more aggressively.

7. Azerbaijan is a pretty artificial country yes, by nature it belongs more with Iran, but none has seriously challenged it existence so let it keep on existing I guess.

8. This political expert doesn’t take it far enough. There historically was never a republic in Russia until an illegal revolution in the early 20th century. The Russian federation in its current form was created by the Soviet Union.

9. That’s what russians do. They say the same thing about Ukraine. Even tho historically russians are a new concept. They were from the beginning “mosckovites”, then “veliko-rus”, and only during ussr in census they began to identify as russians.
