Levon Shirinyan Says Azerbaijan Provoking Clash of Civilizations
YEREVAN, SEPTEMBER 11, ARMENPRESS: Azerbaijan is provoking clash of
civilizations, according to Levon Shirinyan, political scientist. He
said today in an interview with Armenpress that the clash may be very
dangerous for the South Caucasus, Middle East and the whole world.
The political scientist says while the UN is propagandizing the idea
of dialogue of civilizations, Azerbaijan is presenting to the UN
General Assembly a draft resolution, which is a real danger for that
idea; that is why serious pressure was exerted on Azerbaijan so that
to make the country withdraw the draft resolution. `No doubt, we can
consider the withdrawal of the draft resolution Armenia's success and
achievement; the Foreign Ministry has a serious investment in it,'
Levon Shirinyan.
He says Azerbaijan, Shiite Muslim country, and Turkey, Sunnite
country, tend to lean upon the reserve of the states of `Islamic
Conference'; they strengthen the relations with the states of Islamic
civilizations. He added that by this the two states endeavor to
confront the Christian civilization, the main representative of which
in the Middle East is Armenia.
`In the past Samuel Huntington, professor of Harvard University,
always warned the world about the danger of clash of civilizations,
noting that if such a process started, the consequences would be
irreparable,' Levon Shirinyan stated. He added that it is quite
dangerous for Russia that the 30% of the population are Muslims.
