NIYAZI MEHTI: "AZERBAIJAN PATRIOTISM BECOMES A MEANS OF BUSINESS."
June 6 2013
On May 25, during the public hearing on "Mimicry of Humanity
peacekeeping practice" held in the village of Tekal, Georgiant, the
Azerbaijani Professor Niyazi Mehti said, - "In the beginning of
Armenian-Azerbaijani conflict in Azerbaijan, there were many who with
love to their country were outraged that Azerbaijan could lose
Karabakh. During the time this (patriotism, note by V. S.) became a
means of business. There are people who through the love to Heydar
Aliyev earn money. There are problems in the society that one should
be brave to criticize them, but they are afraid to criticize them. And
to look brave, they begin to act against Armenia and all Armenians.
Hurray to patriotism, they are going to demonstrate their hatred
against Armenians showing how brave they are. Although there is no
courage in it, you may be brave if you do it in Khankendi
(Stepanakert), but sitting in Baku, it's ridiculous." A participant of
the Public hearing, a writer Levon Javakhyan then announced, - "I just
thought up a plan. First of all, we should think that not we are
fighting, but they make us fight. The first point of the plan is to
neglect those who make us fight, stay together with each other, making
false reconciliation, make us fight, let's get rid of them. I mean
especially the North. They don't like us, nor Azerbaijan, they are
fond of their interests. Second, if the 2 sides fight, they curse from
one side, they curse from the other side, it is not possible to
elaborate any smart plan with hothead. First, we must put an end to
these curses from this and that side. And third, start from the most
innocent thing: from the cultural ties. Why, for example, our writers
do not go to Azerbaijan, cultural figures from Azerbaijan do not come,
the businessmen do not cooperate on the state level, if these things
are not done, there will be no ground to start the actual negotiation.
Even before the state level, on NGOs level... Only after it we should
sit at the table of reconciliation. Without all these things, no
matter how many times Serzh Sargsyan and Aliyev sit down, no questions
will be solved. Voskan Sargsyan
