/PanARMENIAN.Net/ The anti-Azerbaijani statements made by the Iranian
government on the threshold of Azeri President’s visit to the United
States resembles an attempt to exert pressure, political scientist
Vafa Guluzade stated when commenting of the statements by head of
the Iranian Supreme Security Council Ali Larijani, who did not rule
out that the Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan oil pipeline may be hit if the
U.S. launches hostilities against Iran.
Guluzade considers that Azerbaijan will be the first to suffer from
hostilities against Iran and presently the U.S. concerned over a
single question: “How to hit Iran to avoid the possibility of a
counterblow?” In Guluzade’s opinion the answer to this question may
be received after the Aliyev-Bush meeting.
For his part political scientist Ilgar Mamedov states the crisis
aggravates and this can be proved by the frequent sharp statements. In
his opinion, Iran’s conceal some real plans however the oil pipeline
destruction is unreal. “The start of hostilities will put Azerbaijan in
a hard state. If the U.S. promises Azerbaijan to support its position
on Karabakh in exchange for joining the anti-Iranian coalition,
Azerbaijan will have to take the move. Otherwise the incumbent
government will be subjected to sharp critics by the society. If
Azerbaijan accepts the U.S.
proposal it will acquire a dangerous enemy – Iran. If it defends
Iran’s interests it will be transformed in one of the theater’s
of military operations. In case we take a neutral position both
conflicting parties will exert pressure on us,” the Azeri political
scientist said, reported APA.
