YEREVAN. -The statement by Chief of Staff of Iran's Armed Forces Hassan
Firouzabadi on Azerbaijani President is a part of Iranian diplomacy,
Giro Manoyan, head of central Hay Dat (Armenian Cause) office, member
of ARF Dashnaktsutyun Giro Manoyan Armenian News-NEWS.am.
As reported earlier, Firouzabadi slammed Azerbaijani government for
measures contradicting principles of Islam. He warned Ilham Aliyev
would face a dark future since people's awakening cannot be suppressed.
Manoyan emphasized Iran regularly makes such statements on Azerbaijan,
but not on Armenia. However, later official Tehran dismisses such
allegations, "This tactic is most likely to be a part of Iran-pursued
diplomacy. Iran hints at the possible consequences if Azerbaijan fails
to change its tactics against "Islamic awakening" in the country."
Commenting on military experts' viewpoints that "in case of an Islamic
awakening in Azerbaijan, where most of the population are Shia
Muslims, Azerbaijan will turn from Turkey to Iran," Manoyan said:
"Baku's statements on Turkey, particularly "one nation, two states"
are rather eloquent. It speaks for itself and religious beliefs in
this case would be of no importance. As they say, religion is religion,
politics is politics," Manoyan stressed.
