Moscow - APA. "We want the court to assess the book "The last march
to the south" by Vladimir Zhirinovsky and publicly apologize to
Azerbaijani people.
We can not allow anyone to stir up national and religious conflicts,"
says the article written by Soyun Sadikhov, president of "AzerRos"
National-Cultural Autonomy of Azerbaijanis in Russia, member of Public
Council of Russian Regional Development Ministry.
AzerRos sued Vladimir Zhirinovsky grounding that Azerbaijanis people
were insulted in the above-mentioned book. The article says that
the book written by Vladimir Zhirinovsky insults Islamic world and
Azerbaijani people.
"Separation of Muslim world is to the advantage of the entire
humanity. The danger coming from the Islamic world should be
prevented. Other religions are not able to conduct large-scale
religious wars. We should realize finally who has brought
civilization? Who conquered space and invaded other countries? Who
plundered other nations, turned them into slaves, turned Christian
churches into mosques? What culture did the Turks bring to the Central
Asia? There is no such a notion as Turkish culture, those riding
horses with swords in their hands can not have culture. Janissaries
forming the basis of the Turkish army are Slavonic children captured
together with their parents. They killed their parents and brought
up their children in Turkish, Muslim spirit, and strengthened their
army. Slavonic children killed Slavonic peoples under the Turkish
flag, this is horrible. Who will answer for this? Who will answer
for the humiliation of Byzantine culture, Slavonic peoples?"
Zhirinovsky's unique ideas about the Nagorno Karabakh conflict
were also involved in the article. "How long will the confrontation
between Azerbaijanis and Armenians continue? Will it continue until
the liquidation of all Armenian people by not the Turks already, but
by Azerbaijanis, the another Turkic-speaking people? The Turks and
Azerbaijanis are the same people in substance. The Turks killed one and
half million Armenians in 1915 and Azerbaijanis started to do it in
1988. The Turks committed it within three days, but Azerbaijanis are
doing it for almost 15 years. They intend to wipe out both Armenian
people and state. Why? because, they are Christians. Armenians
tackled uniting of Turks and Azerbaijanis. What is Nakhchivan? It is
an artificial institution, the place in Armenian lands populated by
Azerbaijanis, the territory set for direct links with Turks. Those
lands always belonged to Armenia, the great Armenia from sea to
sea. What is Armenia today? It is only small piece remained after the
Urartu, a powerful state with a great culture. The civilization began
there and moved to other territories. Azerbaijanis are the Persian
tribe revived by the way of conquest. Seldjug Turks moved from the
East in that time and made this Persian tribe the Turks. Who are
the Azerbaijanis? It is a tribe lived in the Caspian cost. It is
a country equaled to the territory of one district of Moscow. Can
you imagine the Sokolniki is the state and people living there are
Sokolniki nation. Azerbaijan is like this, the populated region in
the Caspian cost".
Soyun Sadikhov said many offensive phrases were used in the book
against Azerbaijani and Turkish peoples and made some refreshers for
Zhirinovsky: "I would like to remind Mr. Zhirinovsky that Azerbaijan's
history and culture have very ancient roots. Unfortunately Vladimir
Zhirinovsky doesn't know Ismayil bin Yassar, Musa Shehevat, Abdul
Faraj Isfahani, Khatib Tabrizi, Ibn Sina's student Bahmanyar,
genius poets Nizami, Fuzuli, Molla Panah Vagif, great dramatist Mirza
Fathali Akhundov, or their names are not interesting for him. A list
of Azerbaijani world-known doctors, philosophers, writers, poets,
musicians, architects can be extended more and more. But if you
consider it not as culture, but barbarism, there is no need to extend
this list. I believe that any person not depending on his nationality
and religion must secure the national solidarity. The government
officials have to take responsibility for these issues, because
these persons are heard. We asked the court to evaluate the Vladimir
Zhirinovsky's book "Attack toward the South" and demanded the author
to apologize demonstratively to the Azerbaijani people. We cannot
allow the building up a fire in the ethnic and religious conflicts".
