PanARMENIAN.Net - When interviewing expert Anzhela Elibegova last
month, I was surprised to hear her say Armenians have no idea of the
modern Azerbaijani society and better knowledge of it would stir up
cultural and psychological shock. However, yesterday I came across
a news article that confirmed the expert's correctness.
Moscow-based Azerbaijani psychic Ziraddin Rzayevcommented on the
discussions following his participation in "Let's get married" dating
show as the matchmaker of Armenian singer Mart Romanov (Radik Babayan).
During the show, Mart Romanov introduced Rzayev as his matchmaker
and friend. This sparked broad reaction in Azerbaijan and was long
a subject of discussion in social networks.
"Mart Romanov is no friend of mine. He is simply an acquaintance. The
singer has a Russia second name. However, his father proved to be an
Armenian. How should I know he had an Armenian family name, ending
in -yan. I don't make friends with Armenians," Rzayev said.
With these words Rzayev confessed to attaching importance to his
friends' family names, rather than their personal qualities when
making friends. If such a reaction would be expected by Azerbaijani
resident in view of the country's anti-Armenian propaganda, the fascist
reaction by a Diaspora Azerbaijani sparked surprise. However, it is
noteworthy that a person with an Azerbaijani second name would be
allowed to enter Armenia, even given the unsettled Nagorno Karabakh
conflict. I consider it unnecessary to remind of the various brawls
with different citizens because of their family name endings.
Thus, Rzayev's statement reaffirmed the viability of Ramil Safarov's
case among the Azerbaijanis. Whereas, bearers of family names ending
in -yan (ian) should be careful when communicating with "humanists"
residing in the neighboring country.
