Accordingly to head of this organization, they are ready to wage

>From this day Center on study Armenia-related issues will be
functioning at "Azerbaijan" publishing house. It is attached to
League of Journalists-Researches. Head of this organization, Gafar
Chakhmagli, informed "Echo" about it. Accordingly to him they decided
to unite Armenia-related specialists with the purpose of carrying out
researches in order to bring truth to the notice of world community
concerning territorial and other claims of Armenians.
5 specialists (mainly those who came from Armenia) are working
for the center. Among them member of National Academy of Science,
Israfil Mamadov, can be mentioned. For many years he was the chief of
"Soviet Armenia" newspaper. Accordingly to Chakhmagli, Mamadov is not
only professional journalist he is also perfect expert of psychology
of Armenians. Journalists-researchers, Nazim Mustafa, Allahverdi
Mamadov, jurist Islam Huseinov, and the only woman Sanubar Saralli
will be working with him. The later got secondary and high education
in Armenian language. Gafar Chakhmagli himself knows Armenian language
very well. "For example, editor of "Dirchalish-XXI century", Araz
Gurbanov, will collaborate with us. We are ready to wage information
and ideological war against Armenian in their native language. We will
publish books, booklets dedicated to Armenian issue. Internet sites
will inform about our researches not only in Azerbaijani language
but in English, Russian and Armenian languages.
We are planning to publish journal once in three months. Booklets and
books first will be published in Azerbaijani language, then they will
be translated in Armenian language", Chakhmagli stressed.
By the way he holds that it is necessary to create many such centers.
"They are of great use for us. It would be better if such centers would
operate at National Academy of Science and different universities. Many
people can be involved with this business. In Turkey similar centers
are operating. For example, in Erzurum university center for study
"Armenian genocide" is functioning and we are cooperating with it".
Head of center believes that they are right and society shouldn’t
be surprised by their undertaking, as country can get benefit on
international area owing to revealing true policy of Armenians.
Moreover, center intends to bring the essence of ongoing processes
in Armenia to the notice of Azerbaijani and world community. For this
purpose knowledge of Armenian language is necessary. Chakhmagli said
that number of persons who knows Armenian language is reducing.
"Starting from 1988 they didn’t speak this language and that is
why they forgot it. But there are some specialists in Baku and
in Nagorni Garabagh region of Azerbaijan including our citizens of
Armenian origin. When conflict will be regulated within the frames of
territorial integrity of Azerbaijan, knowing Armenian language will
be useful. We should prepare our specialists of Armenian language".
He also paid attention to the fact that in Armenia itself in academy
in universities and public organizations there are specialists on
Azerbaijan-related issues. They learn Azerbaijani language and our
country. Chakhmagli informed that part of them applied to Turkey
to provide conditions for starting research works in archives to
study Azerbaijan and Turkey. "We also should do our best in this
direction". He said that in case persons willing to learn Armenian
language apply to them they are ready to organize such courses. "As far
as I know these courses are organized in high schools. For example, in
Baku State University there are students learning Armenian language".
