Our Reply To Israel And Azerbaijan
In 1967, soon after the Israel-Arab war of June 6, the U.S.S.R.
launched a state policy of anti-Semitism which affected the Jewish
population at full. At the same time, nowhere except Azerbaijan was
there a more or less significant anti-Semitist attack in the Soviet
Union. In June 1967 the Azerbaijani youth walked in a march holding up
posters with anti-Semitist content, and children of eminent
representatives of the Azerbaijani intelligentsia participated in this
action.
In those days the son of the chair of history of the Teacher Training
Institute of Azerbaijan killed the child of a Jewish family Ilya
Shkolnik on Vidadi Street. The baby was killed by hitting its head
against the wall.
It is a lie that traditionally there has been no anti-Semitism in Azerbaijan.
Together with Kiev and Riga, Baky was a `center' of anti-Semitism with
a certain ethical nature. The reasons were too deep and complicated to
cover them in a short comment.
Now Israel and Azerbaijan are demonstrating lack of problems and close
friendship at the level of `default alliance'. No doubt these efforts
will soon end up in utter defeat of Azerbaijan in foreign policy and
Israel and Turkey will certainly benefit from these plans.
What could Armenia do amid such an improper situation of Israeli
supplies of weapon when this situation has not been evaluated by the
international community?
It would be reasonable to play a role in reducing tension between the
United States and Iran which have been displaying signs of mutually
acceptable styles of behavior.
One way or another, the United States and Iran have to form areas of
confidence internationally and in some regional arenas. Both states
understand that the policy of the United States on the Near East
strengthened Iran and boosted its influence. However, the content of
the policy of Iran also helped the U.S. plans succeed on Iraq and
Afghanistan.
In this situation there is always room for different initiatives, and
they must be implemented. Yerevan could be a point of contact between
Americans and Iranians. There are certain barriers but now they are
invented or rather have lost their significance.
If besides traditional issues Armenia and the Armenian organizations
of the United States also addressed political issues, one could hope
for a better position of Armenia in international relations. It is
time to reply Israel and Azerbaijan.
