Azerbaijan's hereditary President Ilham Aliyev has again misinformed
the Azerbaijani and world public. He stated, "all historical
monuments belonging to Azerbaijani people have been destroyed" in
the Nagorno-Karabakh. He made the "sensational" statement on current
March 15, in the course of a ceremony of laying the foundation of
the State Museum of Azerbaijani Carpet and People's Arts and Crafts'
building. Opposing to the above-mentioned>>>, Ilham Aliyev again
did not fail to speak of Azerbaijan's confessional "tolerancy": "we
regard the history and the past of all nations residing in Azerbaijan
with great respect, we deal with these issues in the course of our
practice activity".
A bit below we'll consider the way Azerbaijani "deal with the
issues". Now we would like to remind of the fact that it is not
the first time that Azerbaijani President is cunning taking refuge
in unfounded statements. It is for this reason that any mendacious
statement made by Azeris requires a grounded disproof.
One should require that Aliyev names "Azerbaijani people's historical
monuments, which have been subject to destruction" in Artsakh. For
instance, what can he say about mosques in Shoushi and Aghdam, which
are there up till now? The same way as other mosques, which are not
as known as that ones. Aliyev should be reminded that "Azerbaijani
people's historical monuments" in Artsakh were mainly built in XIX
century, when alien nomad Turkic tribes started settling down in the
Armenian region.
However, that is not the point. The thing is that the one who shouts
"stop thief" louder than others is the thief himself. In this
case he is a thief, who does not feel shame appropriating another
nation's cultural inheritance, a thief, who is trying to create his
own history at the expense of other peoples. It is not accidental
that Armenian letters are scraped off ancient temples' walls in
Azerbaijan, Armenian churches are impudently and shamelessly declared
"Azerbaijani" and where it is impossible to do so, constructions are
just destroyed. Only during last years the Republic's authorities
destroyed Armenian churches of Ã~UVI-Ã~UIÃ~U centuries in Mirzik,
Erkech, Brajur, Tchiragidzor, Tchovdar and other Armenian villages
of Utik and Artsakh. The Armenian medieval cemeteries with thousands
of unique khachkars have been completely destroyed in Nakhijevan.
Surb Hovhannes Mkrtich (John the Baptist) Church sanctified in 1633
in Gandzak has been crippled out of all recognition; all Armenian
letters have been scraped off it, while the church itself was called
"Albanian" and turned into den of Wahhabis. In Gandzak Saint Sargis
Church has been "restored" in such a way that now one cannot differ
it from a Turkic caravanserai. It is well known that when Norwegian
embassy in Azerbaijan that was sponsoring the church's "restoration"
in Nije learned that Armenian letters were being scraped off the
temple's walls it refused to go on financing the theft's "project". As
for the Azerbaijani Museum of Carpet and People's Arts and Crafts, an
Armenian doudouk, as well as carpets deprived of Soviet Azerbaijan's
deported Armenian population have been exhibited there. Even now
Armenian letters have been maintained on some of the carpets.
In Azerbaijan aboriginals - the northern regions' dwellers - are being
impertinently deprived of mosques, while the henchmen of Pasha-zade,
Sheikh-ul-Islam, who profess Islam's another version, are appointed as
mullahs. The Museum of Azerbaijan's people was renamed as the Museum
of Azerbaijani People, while all its exhibits declared "Azerbaijanis'
creations".
Truly speaking, one could comprehend Azerbaijanis' inferiority complex:
the only trace in their short history consists in autochthon nations'
pogroms and mass carnage. One could do it, unless Azerbaijanis,
being guided by the complex, tried to "overtake" their neighbors in
the sphere of culture confessing their sin. However, Azerbaijan has
chosen anther path - the path of continuation of pogroms, however,
in the sphere of culture this time. Today Azerbaijan pursues policy
of Genocide of Armenian civilization (and not only of this one),
and silence in this case can result in incalculable losses. Huge
spiritual and material wealth created by previous generations' genius
can disappear without a trace.
Nowadays the past is being stolen from us and our children; the
present is being destroyed. Condescending silence is just criminal.
