Azerbaijan cannot jeopardize its independence because of not so closer
states that also do not defense the Azerbaijani people`s interests,
the leader of the Party of national Movement of Azerbaijan Nasir
Aghayev told Trend commenting the Israeli-Lebanese conflict.
He underlined that some countries` geostrategical interests are
behind this conflict. "No doubt, shedding Lebanon thousand sitizens`
blood, Israel does not avenge its two captured soldiers. The logic
is in other thing. The happening developments show that the UN double
standards towards the world events trigger little countries` involving
in conflicts. Here they pursue their own ends", he told.
He expressed his regret that some forces in Azerbaijan supports
Lebanon on the religious principle. "We should not forget that in
hostilities for Karabakh many Lebanese citizens Armenians got to take
part in the conflict shed the blood of thousands of Azerbaijanis.
That is why we can not express our attitude on the religious or other
principles. We could approach to these or those events from the point
of justice," he underlined.
N. Aghayev also pointed out that the silence of the European Union, the
Council of Europe, the Parliament of Europe on the Israeli-Lebanese
conflict developments let us know about skeptical aspects." The
Parliament of Europe which is considered to be the cradle of democracy
on June 27 1987 proposed to mark the anniversary of the so-called
Armenian Genocide in Armenia," he told.
According to him, both Hesbollah and Asalah signed an agreement to act
jointly. "When the Azerbaijan Democratic Republicwas fallen in 1920,
we hoped that the Turkish Republic would be kept. That is why we
sacrificed our independence. Now Azerbaijan cannot jeopardize t its
independence because of not so closer countries that do not support
our interests either. Azerbaijan must acquire big friends and do away
with small enemies", he underlined.
Political experts note that the leader of Asalah hold systematical
consultations with the Armenian leadership. The members of
this organization also represented in the force bodies of the
self-proclaimed Nagorno-Karabakh Republic. Many Armenians from
Lebanon, Syria, Iran, Turkey, Armenia, and France are got to take
part in Asalah trainings in Beirut. During the Karabakh war Asalah
and Dashnaktsutun announced mobilization of Armenian young people
from all around the world to take part in the hostilities. If the
hostilities are resumed, the most of Asalah members will be directed
to Karabakh. Near the airport located in the Gorge of Beka Asalah
organizes field trainings. Armenians also grow there drugs and send
them to Europe. Despite the fact that bearing of arm was prohibited
in Lebanon, Lebanese Armenians organize small firms and get Asalah
members as security guards to freely bear arms.
