    And the international scientific conferences should be continued
    in practice

    Scientific secretary of the Yerevan State University, Turkologist,
    candidate of historical sciences, associate professor Vahram Petrosian
    noted the significance of holding scientific conferences in Artsakh.

    According to him, more important is still the practical side of
    these conferences. Introducing his opinion on the recent conference
    to Azat Artsakh newspaper, he emphasized the strict necessity of
    not only including scientific trends in the introduced researches,
    but also giving the details of certain steps. He noted the necessity
    of organizing active discussions, pointing out the shortcomings
    followed by corresponding records, giving appropriate instructions
    to corresponding structures, if necessary, in the form of internal
    memorandum. "The item, which I'm dealing with, is a direction
    for elaborating a certain policy", said V. Petrosian, adding,
    "Our struggle with Azerbaijan takes place not only in the region,
    but also outside it. This is a game with a zero score, when your
    success is your opponent's failure, and his success is, surely,
    your failure. In this context, the Kurdish factor should be taken
    into account, and at the same time, the emphasis should be made on
    raising the issue of Red Kurdistan. The latter is, to a certain
    extent, also supported by Azerbaijan. Whether we like it or not,
    we'll be involved in these processes. We'd better take corresponding
    steps". According to our interlocutor, the goal should be demonstration
    of the development tendencies, liquidation of our vulnerable sides,
    stereotypes, and predictability, because we have, unfortunately,
    become a predictable nation. We should make right and unexpected
    decisions. And this leads to the necessity of creating certain
    research centers. "Within my current visit, I plan meeting with
    some officials to acquaint them with certain viewpoints, to speak
    about the organization of corresponding discussions on the creation
    of definite centers, or specific steps should be taken on specific
    issues; otherwise, all this will stay only words", said V. Petrosian.

    In his turn, V. Petrosian noted that Kurdistan's becoming part of
    Iraq as an internationally recognized allied entity has instructive
    significance for us, in the context of following the game's rules. And
    as of the possible developments in our historical homeland,
    Western Armenia, which can follow the Kurdish factor activation,
    the Turkologist noted that a newly established state is always more
    dangerous than an old one, as it has an independence problem. Creation
    of a Kurdish center in Iraq is a safe phenomenon for us. The fair
    realities prepare a corresponding ground for the autonomous formation
    there to become an independent state. An unofficial referendum
    was held in the Iraqi Kurdistan, and 97% of the population voted
    for independence. Later, they declared that they were not going to
    become fully independent, because it was early for this. So, they
    have ready reserve options. V. Petrosian also noted other facts. The
    following idea can be often met in the Kurdish historiography: the
    Sevres agreement is the only document, which provided the Kurds with
    autonomy and made their unification possible.

    Currently, the Iraqi Kurdistan influences the Kurdish-populated
    Western Armenian section and the entire Turkey. And the Turkish
    Kurds are mainly concentrated in Istanbul. In the Western Armenia,
    to neutralize the density, the Kurds were dispersed in different
    directions, as a result of which they created a few enclaves in the
    Turkish sections. According to the Turkologist, it isn't excluded
    that certain developments can take place, requiring the Armenian
    diplomacy's involvement in the game. We should properly perceive the
    developments' direction and participate in the game, especially that
    the Kurdish party always suggests this. They offer their cooperation.

    It is noteworthy that the Iraqi Kurdistan is involved in the NABUCCO
    project, intending also to participate in its alternative option -
    program on building an Islamic pipeline. Or, in any option, they can
    advance their interest. V. Petrosian pays special significance to the
    Kurdish factor in the context of the last Syrian developments. There
    are certain problems related to the Syrian Armenian community - after
    Iraq, we can face the fact of endangered community in Syria. It is also
    necessary to keep in mind the Syria-Iran relations, which are quite
    strong. It is clear that Iran will try to ensure its connection with
    Syria via the territory of the Iraqi Kurdistan. The noted realities
    shouldn't be ignored; on the contrary, we should follow them and make
    corresponding conclusions.

    As an interesting fact, Mr. Petrosian noted the activity of the Kurdish
    Democratic Party's branch in Armenia, which needs separate analysis.

    According to V. Petrosian, the fact of how the Iraqi Kurdistan will
    impact the Turkish developments is very important for us, because
    Turkey has currently good relations with the Iraqi Kurdistan. The
    reason of this is the existence of mutual-impact levers, for instance,
    the Iraqi Kurdistan can have real impact on the electoral process
    in Turkey.

    The Armenian political circles note the necessity of organizing
    radio programs in the Kurdish language, without taking into account
    an important fact - the Kurdish dialect, which will be used in these
    programs, isn't spread in the Iraqi Kurdistan. Another dialect is
    spread there, so this approach is unacceptable. Any actions should
    have their addressees.

    So, the Turkologist's basic conclusion is that it is time for
    introducing serious professional analysis and passing form scientific
    researches to practical steps.
