Armenianism’ to be studied as Threat in Disintegration of South Caucasus
Azerbaijan, Baku / ?rend corr S. Aghayeva / `Armenianism’ as a real threat
in contributing to the disintegration of the South Caucasus should be
studied, the director of the Human Rights Institution at the National
Academy of Sciences of Azerbaijan, Professor Rovshan Mustafayev, said on 25
May. He was commenting on the book `Armenian-Speaking Population of Georgia
and Problems of Revival of Unified Georgian Statehood’ published by the
National Academy of Sciences of Georgia.
Professor Mustafayev was the first to raise the issue of Armenian
ethno-corporation offering his methodology on studying this phenomenon in
his famous work `Virtual Passions’. `I always suggested viewing the format
of studying Armenian ethno-corporation as a threat to stability in the South
Caucasus. Being the most mobile and unified ethno-social organization
`Armenianism’ can fulfil any task for disintegration of a region based on
different imperial centres,’ he noted. According to Mustafayev, the cores of
Armenians’ strategies and methods of violence do not change. What do change
are their slogans.
In the aforementioned book, Georgian scientists wrote about retrospective
discourses on the formation of the Georgian statehood and problems surfacing
from Georgian-Armenian relationships. The authors refer to facts and events
that have not yet been sufficiently studied by contemporary historians.
Expanded details of the Armenian-Georgian military conflict of 1918 that
involved Armenian territorial claims to independent Georgian land, as well
as the genesis of the issue, are provided in the book.
The work reports on the formation of present anti-state activities of
separatist groups uniting the Armenian ethnic minority in Georgia. Clear
examples of attempts by Armenian scientists to falsify South Caucasian
history are provided in the book.
