History continuously rewritten in Azerbaijan
If the Armenians did not exist then they should have
been thought up to justify their own lack of talent
and weakness.

It is quite a useless and unnecessary thing to answer everything that
is written in the Azerbaijan press concerning the Armenians and the
Armenian history. But lately our neighbors have completely lost their
sense of proportion and they blame the Armenians in anything they
like.
/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Singer Aygun Kazimova’s imagination played up to the
extent that she blamed AzTV in that `somebody works in the favor of
the Armenians in the television! Before it only seemed to me but now I
am sure that a specified person works for the benefit of the Armenians
in Baku, and the Azerbaijan pop art purposefully directs into the
abyss! They try to bullshit the nation with the help of their stupid
programs and on the quiet they carry out their dirty business. The
number of the songsters is springing up like mushrooms after the rain
and all of them are given certain places in the television,’- she
shares her frankness with the correspondents of Day.az.
Indeed, if the Armenians did not exist then they should have been
contrived to justify own lack of talent and feebleness. But it is so
unserious. The accusations in that it was exactly the Armenians who
expelled the Germans from Azerbaijan in 1941 are more serious. The
author of that version is Abbas Seidov; leading researcher of the
Institute NANA of Archaeology and Ethnography, professor of Azerbaijan
Economic University, Doctor of History. It is rather an unpleasant
thing to prove the truth especially when there is no one to prove it
to. For some reason Azerbaijan is sure that it can assert whatever it
likes in its virtual world and adjust the history to its interests.
It is exactly the case with the Germans from Hanler and Shamkhor who
were evicted by Stalin’s order into the Kazakhstan steppes at the same
time. The same Germans that lived in the neighborhood of the Armenians
and the Caucasian Tatars for about 200 years and they almost did not
communicate. In 2003 Alexander and Rudolf Yaskorskies, emigrants from
Hanler published a book; `Germans of Black sea and the Caucasus’
(concerning the origin and life of the German ethnic group of Black
Sea and the Caucasus)’, where photographs and documents enlightening
the life of the German colony are collected. In particular there is a
remarkable paragraph in the book; `The German immigrants fundamentally
settled in a planned way at the periphery of the Russian empire. It
solved two tasks at one stroke; on the one hand the borders of the
empire were strengthened and a buffer zone was created between the
territories populated with uncivilized tribes and Christian
population. And on the other hand the cultural economies of the
Germans involved new uninhabited areas, that had not been earlier
cultivated, into the economic revolution and fortified them into the
structure of the empire. The Armenians made friends with the Germans,
learned their language and behavior It was a natural striving towards
each other as the Armenians and Russians were the only Christian
neighbors of the Germans in the surroundings of the Caucasian Tatars,
who from time to time organized massacres from which the German
colonists suffered as well’.
Neither the archives nor the contemporaries’ illustrations turn to be
edicts for Abbas Seidov- he has his own sources according to which for
some reason the arrival of the same Germans is related to Alexander I
though they had been invited by Catherine II. But at the same time
everything is all right with the Armenians – they turned to appear
here in the course of the World War I…
But it is not all. Seidov goes on writing `Later the Armenians began
demolishing the graves of the Germans using the tombstones with their
own ends. With all this going on they longed to wipe all the traces of
the Germans’ habitation in Hanler’. However there is nothing
surprising – during all their realized history that means during the
last 40-50 years the Azerbaijanis have been ascribing all their deeds
to the Armenians. And all that began from the times of Heydar Aliev
and it is quite possible that it will be concluded with Ilham Aliev’s
government. Suddenly more responsible people may come to power in
Azerbaijan for whom the Armenian will be just a neighbor, who is
simply not like themselves. But it is not necessary to expect it
without fail-it depends on the good luck. «PanARMENIAN.Net»
