Azerbaijan and the war between Israel and Iran
Since the first day of independence, Azerbaijan has positioned itself as a country that observes neutrality. The existing "Treaty on Strategic Partnership and Mutual Assistance between the Republic of Azerbaijan and the Republic of Turkey" does not violate the neutrality of Azerbaijan in any way, since it can only be used if one of them is attacked. Common potential enemies of Azerbaijan and Turkey for many years have been Armenia, Russia and Iran.
Since the emergence of the Nazi Dashnaktsutyun party in Tbilisi in 1890, Armenia has laid claim to a vast territory of the Middle East, including Azerbaijan with its capital Baku and a third of Turkey, as well as other territories up to Israel. The map drawn by Armenian pseudo-historians shows Greater Armenia, not according to a historical myth, but according to a myth from the Nazi Dashnaktsutyun party:
All my attempts to find in what historical period Greater Armenia existed were unsuccessful. (1,2) Perhaps the kings, emperors, khans, sultans did not even suspect that they were subjects of an empire called Greater Armenia. The Armenians who came to the Middle East from Thrace settled in Urartu and subsequently spread throughout the Middle Eastern countries, creating compact centers of residence, which is typical for them throughout their history. This feature is confirmed by such geographical places as Crimea, Georgia (at the time of the conquest of Georgia, Armenians in Tbilisi made up 60% of the population), Kuban (today there are more Armenians in Kuban than Kuban Cossacks), as well as overseas - California. Thus, if we take into account the fact that Armenians live in many geographical places, this in no way can serve as a reason for organizing an Armenian state on this territory.
The first attempt to create a Greater Armenia was made by the Dashnaks during the First World War in Turkey, when the Armenians living there carried out ethnic cleansing in order to create an Armenian state on the territory free of the Muslim population. Having raised an armed rebellion in the frontline rear, the Armenians did not attack regular troops, they began to beat the local unarmed population, hundreds of thousands of refugees appeared even before the arrival of Russian troops. Armed Armenian rebellions facilitated the advance of the Russian army deep into Turkish territory. In order to secure its rear, the Turkish government ordered the eviction of Armenians from the places where the Russian army was expected to advance. Now columns of forcibly evicted Armenians stretched south towards Syria through the area where the population had settled, having fled earlier from the brutal pogroms committed by Armenian militants. And what could not help but happen happened: driven by revenge, the Turks and Kurds attacked the defenseless Armenians. Evil begot evil. This terrible tragedy of 1915, which cost the lives of hundreds of thousands of Armenians, might not have happened if the Armenian militants had not carried out the tactics of "squeezing out" the peaceful Turkish and Kurdish population, sowing the seeds of evil, which still grow as weeds of hostility, in the South Caucasus. As a result, all this turned into a tragedy for the Armenians, which they call genocide, identical to the genocide of European Jews. But the genocide of the Jews was planned by the German authorities and was part of the fascist ideology, but nothing like this happened in Turkey. To call the spontaneous revenge of the common people in response to the ethnic cleansing undertaken by the Armenians genocide is a gross mistake. The blame for what happened in Turkey lies entirely with the premeditated massacre of Muslims by the ideologists of the Dashnaktsutyun party.
The second attempt to create a Greater Armenia was made in Azerbaijan in 1918. Armenian armed Dashnaks, with the help of the local Armenian diaspora, carried out brutal pogroms in Baku and other cities, and who knows how it would have ended if not for the help of the brotherly people of Turkey. Then Ataturk sent an army to Azerbaijan to suppress the Armenian rebellion. (3)
The third attempt is known as the Karabakh War. With the support of Moscow, the Armenians captured 20% of Azerbaijani territory and held it for 30 years, counting on the immutability of political relations with Russia. However, due to economic circumstances, Moscow found itself dependent on Turkey, and did not dare to openly provide military assistance to Yerevan, when the renewed army of Azerbaijan, with the military-technical support of Turkey, restored sovereignty over the entire territory occupied by the Armenians.
Despite the crushing defeat, Armenia refused to conclude a peace treaty and, as usual, rushed to look for a new patron to replace Russia, hoping to find one in the West. (4) Naturally, such a policy of Yerevan is perceived by Moscow as treacherous, because after all, it was Russia that made the Armenians' dream of their own state come true. The first ever Armenian state formation in the form of a Soviet republic was created by Russia on the site of the Yerevan Khanate of Azerbaijan with the deportation of the Azerbaijani population. Formally being in a strategic alliance with Russia in the CSTO, Armenia today finds itself in the unenviable position of Buridan's donkey, which, due to the catastrophic state of the economy, will have no choice but to choose between the two. (5) Moreover, our donkey (if we are talking about the Caucasus region, then a donkey is usually called a donkey there) has gone to all lengths, having made friends with the Tehran obscurantists. Here we cannot count on help from the West, for whom Iran is a bone in the throat. There was a time when Iran had excellent relations with its neighbors in the Middle East, including Israel. Shah Pahlavi of Iran, who graduated from a university in Switzerland, was a supporter of the development of his country on the model of Western civilization, like Turkey, which had taken a rather bold step for the religiously orthodox East by separating religion from the state. But if Ataturk had the support of the Young Turks in his progressive reforms, Pahlavi had no such support. And yet, thanks to petrodollars, the country was rapidly developing in technical and economic terms and was on the verge of an economic boom. Following American goods, the seeds of Western culture penetrated the country. American films literally flooded cinemas and television. Young people, like a sponge, absorbed everything new and unusual. The “corruption of the souls” of the faithful provoked the wrath of the religious elite, who saw in the cultural transformation of society a threat to their influence on the masses. All attempts to convince the Shah to turn away from the path he had chosen, which ran counter to religious dogma, were unsuccessful. Moreover, the Shah did not stand on ceremony with his ideological opponents, and the future father of the Islamic Revolution, Ayatollah Khomeini, even had to leave Iran and become a kind of martyr for the Faith. Everyone knows the tragic end of the transformation of Iranian society, undertaken by none other than the Shahanshah (Shah of all Shahs) of Iran, Mohammed Reza Pahlavi. A proud loner ahead of his time, he ended his last days in exile. Cruel terror scattered the shoots of new life. The guards of the Islamic Revolution took great pleasure in publicly executing women who dared to appear with an open face or were caught in treason. Cinemas burned with spectators locked inside. The black veil of religious fanaticism fell upon Iran once again, cutting it off from the rest of the world and, in an instant, plunging the country into an era of medieval obscurantism. The plans of the Shahanshah, who had received a European education, to reform public consciousness and impose a European way of life on his people turned out to be premature and caused a sharp rejection by the people, which the clergy took advantage of, which cost Pahlavi his throne. The civilized world was shocked by what happened in Iran, and only Moscow remained silent. Communists have always respected all totalitarian regimes that are close to them in spirit, be it fascist in Germany, dictatorial in Libya or Iraq, and now another of its varieties - religious totalitarianism in the person of the Islamic state of Iran. The religious regime has immediately destroyed Iran's friendly ties not only with the United States, the main stronghold of world democracy, but also with the surrounding Muslim countries. If under the Shah Iran was part of the military bloc CENTO, together with Turkey and Pakistan, created to counter Russia's traditional expansion to the South towards the Indian Ocean, then after the Islamic Revolution the bloc fell apart. Figuratively speaking, Iran began to resemble a bristling porcupine. Thus, the regime brought relations with Iraq to an 8-year war. It must be said that after Azerbaijan became independent, the Tehran obscurantists attempted to create friendly relations. Azerbaijani youth were invited to study in Iran, free madrassas were opened in Baku, where the main focus was on religious education. The authorities recognized the purpose of such an enterprise in time and expelled the Iranian clerics from the country.
