move against Russia
BYLINE: M. Aliyev, Trend News Agency, Baku, Azerbaijan
June 03--Recognition of the Circassian genocide by the Georgian
Parliament is a step against Russia, the Director of the Center for
Political Innovation and Technology and political analyst Mubariz
Ahmedoglu told journalists on Thursday.
"The Russian Federation's modern policy has never given a normal
assessment to many events in the country. Mass extermination of the
Circassians is one of those examples," he said.
The Georgian parliament adopted a resolution recognizing the genocide
of Circassians by the Russian Empire on May 20.
Ahmedoglu said Moscow is weary of addressing this issue, despite its
lively discussion in the North Caucasus and Georgia.
"If the Russian politicians took the initiative into their hands and
intensified the issue regarding the genocide of Circassians, the
discontent which appeared at the beginning of the discussions could be
directed toward a more constructive direction. Instead of intensifying
discussions, certain forces in Moscow have stirred up the destructive
activity among the North Caucasian peoples for their narrow
interests," Ahmedoglu said.
He said the Armenians and some Dagestani separatists have been engaged
in provoking Azerbaijan and the Northern Caucasus for a long time in
Moscow.
"Now, Moscow is in a dire situation because of the Circassian issue,"
Ahmedoglu said.
