A premiere of the new play of Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan~Rs
“theater” took place last week, Head of the Foreign Relations
Department at the Azerbaijani Presidential Administration Novruz
Mammadov said.
This time, the audience was young officers of the armed forces,
he added.
“Obviously, one cannot expect at least a little logic and sense
of reality from Sargsyan~Rs performance,” Mammadov said. “First,
circumstances in today’s Armenia force the shaky government to seek
different methods of PR, and it is happening when the opposition
forces are gaining momentum, and the country is rolling towards
an irreversible instability. In this context, “pathology” of this
Congress is an internal political propaganda aimed at raising the
Armenian society~Rs spirit. The society distorted the line between
reality and illusion relying on non-existent historical facts
for years. Sargsyan~Rs speech is nothing else than a product for
domestic consumption, which does not require the weary in search of
the true facts.”
Mammadov said Sargsyan widely spoke about the Armenians~R favorite
historical theme and distorted all historical facts in a manner
peculiar to Armenians.
“Of course, even a schoolchild can refute or at least cast doubt on
his statements in the 21st century,” he underscored. “One knows not
scientific evidence, but the falsified history lies in the core of the
Armenian history books. So, Aram Andronyan distorted the historical
events associated with the genocide and distributed them in the world.
Another Armenian – Suren Ayvazian invented a map of Armenia supposedly
existed 5,000 years ago, which has nothing common with the historical
geography. Today, one Armenian – Serzh Sargsyan – draws dashing image
of the Armenian soldier belonging to a noble family and spokes about
the traditions of the Armenian military class going back to the Middle
Ages in front of inexperienced young officers. However, he forgets
to mention that Armenia did not exist on the world map then.”
“Why do the Armenians like historical theme so much? Is not it
because, all their essence- traitors, toadies and opportunists – is
shown here? I would like to present a document that now kept in the
Georgian National Archives. It is a document dated July 4, 1827, which
says Armenians-Nestorian, betraying their country, pledged to work
together with Russia against Persia. The archives have a huge number
of similar documents. Maybe Sargsyan would spoke to the young people
about this in detail at the next Congress. Let him tell young officers
about “a great military leader Andranik”, who, being in captivity,
begged for mercy for just him on bended knees and with tears in eyes.
The ‘legendary hero of Armenia, ardent fighter for the restoration
of statehood’ agreed to pass on all fours between the Sultan bey’s
shoes like a trained circus poodles under the peasants’ laughter just
to save his life,” Mammadov said.
According to Mammadov, Sargsyan is well aware that the Armenian army,
as well as the Armenian society, completely lacks an aspect of the
nobility. Because, one should bourn as the noble, not become. “Drawing
parallels between today’s Army and the nobility, which in fact Armenia
lacked as an institution, Sargsyan diverts the society from fundamental
problems such as unemployment or a hopeless political, economic and
moral situation in the country. One can also name the increasing levels
of drug abuse and addiction of gambling, atmosphere in the army, where
dedovshina, bribery and indiscipline are improving, indifference of
the authorities to public opinion, and the fact that the leadership
says one thing, but does another in practice,” Mammadov said.
“Regarding the parallels between the officers and intellectuals,
it is impossible to become s high moral intellectuals on demand,”
Mammadov said. “They are brought up in an appropriate sphere from
generation to generation. Intellectuals are an interlayer in a global
society, represented by a minority, while representatives of different
social classes dominate in the armies. However, Armenian President
Serzh Sargsyan did not bother himself with clarifying the nuance in
his speech. Of course, it would be fondly to wait these subtleties
from the president in a country where people in power are those who
live on concepts rather than on laws, and there is a complete lack
of national ethics and the actual truth is ignored.”
He said that another nuance in this speech is the fact that, while
speaking of hostilities, including the aggression against Azerbaijan,
President Sargsyan spoke on his behalf. This gives the impression that
he was among the first on the front line. And it would be absurd. “In
this case, without specifying that Armenia was always an outpost of
other countries as opposed to Azerbaijan,” he said. “Armenia preserves
the image of the state thanks to other countries’ handouts. It is
appropriate to recall the following proverb “The dog looks at the
haystack and thinks it is its shadow”. The recent studies show that
the Armenians, who were born in Armenia, do not want to serve in the
occupied territories of Nagorno-Karabakh. The living standards have
fallen and there is a growing emigration. It may lead to a demographic
crisis in the nearest decade.”
“So, why have the Armenian authorities decided to hold this convention
now?” he inquired. “The answer to this question is as simple as
obvious. The matter rests in the fact that Armenia is far behind
Azerbaijan in the diplomatic struggle. Azerbaijan has significantly
strengthened its political-legal and socio-economic foundations. It
has become the undisputed regional leader on economic potential, the
level of democratic development. It has strengthened its position in
the international arena. But Armenia, as a victim of its own policy,
primarily related to the territorial claims to the surrounding
countries, turned out in a blockade. It is noteworthy that the inside
fear exacerbates the contradictions within the Armenian society. A
military parade in Baku was irrefutable proof of the Azerbaijan
Republic’s advantage. Today, time moves in favor of Azerbaijan,
pulling the desperate state of Armenia. The fear of an advantage
cannot be hidden by banal speech in the world where geo-economics
dominates over geopolitics and 70 percent of economic power in the
region falls to Azerbaijan.”
It is clear that Armenia will turn into an economically, politically,
and socially poor formation, forced to ask for leniency from its
powerful neighbors, if it does not change its policy, Mammadov
stressed.
“President Sargsyan has formed his speech in the form of orders, tasks
set for the young people,” he said. “Physically, the soldiers can
still achieve the ideal imposed upon them by their own president. But
will they be able to be an example of courage and valor? I think no
one doubt about the answer – never.”
