Sensational statement by an Azerbaijani expert
Natiq Miri: Reports about the national army are sent to the Euro-Asian
Cooperation Centre in Yerevan on daily basis’
Reports show that some NGOs and media outlets in Azerbaijan are
funded by pro-Armenian centres. The media have already carried some
analysis and explanations to this end. A statement by Akif Nagi, the
chairman of the Karabakh Liberation Organization, about receiving a
cooperation proposal from the Armenian sources shows how serious the
problem stands.
As you see, the issue has reached a point when organizations with
radical positions on Karabakh are proposed cooperation in exchange
for funds. Moreover, the proposal comes from Yerevan. The Azerbaijani
Centre for National Strategic Researches has published several research
papers on plans of pro-Armenian centres against Azerbaijan, proving
the urgency of the danger.
In an interview with Yeni Musavat, the chairman of the centre, Natiq
Miri, said that the process of strengthening ties with a number of
NGOs, persons in Azerbaijan by Armenian and pro-Armenian financial
sources is connected with Armenia’s difficulties in foreign policy
issues, the diplomatic failure in the Nagornyy Karabakh problem and
destruction of the statehood as a result of fiascos in the domestic
policies.
The logical outcome is that attacks against Azerbaijan, which is
becoming stronger than Armenia, are launched from various sources
in order to create obstacles to it. "Amongst them, ideological
and information sabotage is one of the priorities. For example, a
campaign against the army in Azerbaijan has been stepped up recently
and there are NGOs and mass media outlets especially contributing
to this campaign. Under the guise of criticizing shortcomings in the
army, similar sources are actually engaged in discrediting the armed
forces in the public eye, worsening moral and psychological situation
there, insulting patriotic feelings of the troops and other similar
disgusting activities. Investigations show that some foreign-funded
centres work in a coordinated form with entities in the South Caucasus
with central offices in Yerevan. Funding for projects planned to put
into life in Azerbaijan comes from Yerevan.
Remarks to this end by the chairman of the Karabakh Liberation
Organization in an interview with Hurriyyat newspaper prove our
opinion. The fact that the head of the biggest grant mafia in the
Caucasus, [name omitted], called Akif Nagi to propose cooperation
in joint projects, shows this problem remains topical. Naturally,
although Akif bay [mode of address] turned down this proposal, there
are reports that several NGOs and media outlets are collaborating with
[name omitted]. In this connection, Akif Nagi named [names omitted]
among them. However, the issue is not limited to them.
Recalling that the Azerbaijani media carry reports alleging that grants
have been allocated for the resolution of problems like raising public
control over the army as well as of the civil society, our interviewee
said that actually, the grant is allocated to raise problems in the
army to the level of national calamity: "Specifically, at the expense
of those projects, information about the Azerbaijani army is sent
to the Euro-Asian Cooperation Centre in Yerevan on daily basis. The
chairman of the centre is [name omitted]. I can also give her telephone
number [number omitted]. There are also specific websites to this end.
Pro-Armenian centres mainly fund projects on researches into possible
tendencies towards ethnic separatism by minorities; public control
over the army; application of technologies to obtain military secrets
under the guise of transparency; societal immorality, expansion of the
network of various religious sects, Azerbaijan’s cultural expansion
by Armenians and others.
Just imagine a total of 44,000 dollars have been recently allocated
for a project called "Benefits of encouraging prostitution for
NGOs". This project will be implemented in Azerbaijan. This is a
drop in the ocean. As you see, similar harmful projects threatening
our security are implemented by some of our citizens. Those who are
actively involved in these projects are presented to the public as a
"civilized man", an "expert", a "pundit" and so on.
