Today at "Armat" press-club politician Hrant Melik-Shahnazaryan met
journalists and spoke about the causes of Azerbaijani inner conflicts.
He also referred to the possible consequences of the conflicts'
development and their possible influence on Artsakh conflict and
Armenian-Azerbaijani relation.
Politician underlined that Azerbaijani native nations, including
Lezgins, are now in the same situation, which Armenians in Artsakh
were on the end of 1980.
Referring to the protest rallies in Guba town settled mostly with
Lezgins, the politicians ensured that official Baku aimed to assimilate
the native nations and ignore their national pride.
"Ignoring and offensing the native nations is a part of Azerbaijani
official policy. Armenians in Artsakh were in the same situation till
1988, when Azerbaijan did everything to make obstacles for Armenians
to develop educational system or national culture. And Artsakh is a
symbol of struggle for freedom for Lezgins. If Armenians in Artsakh
managed to get independence, so they also are able to do it. We
are occupied by mainly with enemy countries, so we accept them as
political factor", the speaker underlined.
Politician also informed that Lezgin activists spread information
by the Internet according which the Police have already sought the
organizers of the protests. "Azerbaijani propaganda connects all this
with the social condition and tries to cover the struggle which native
nations lead for their rights", H. Melik-Shahnazaryan said.
According to him it is noticeable that the problems of the native
nations are discussed in the media recently. The politician also
noted that the events in Guba have no connection with Arab Spring:
the problem is national here.
"Azerbaijani authorities will keep retreat position will they find out
who are the organizers of the protests. Azerbaijan set free 22 arrested
people in order not to make the situation more strained. I do not think
Azerbaijan will be so clever to think something else and it will press
the activists by the traditional measures", politician underlined.
H. Melik-Shahnazaryan also considers that the situation will become
more strained in order the international society to have opportunity
to make more pressure on Azerbaijani authorities.
