/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Azerbaijan’s turn, as some Azeri politicians say,
is quite possible, responded to the PanARMENIAN.Net journalist’s
question political scientist Alexander Iskandaryan, the Director
of Caucasian Media Institute. In his words, Azerbaijan is divided
into two conditional states: Baku and province, and they are quite
different. "Baku is a civilized European city, and the province lives
by quite other canons and mostly Islamic. This division is typical to
all Middle Eastern countries and here Azerbaijan is not an exception,"
he underlined. The Armenian political scientist stressed that Baku
lives at the expense of oil pipeline and the province of Azerbaijan –
at expense of migrants in Russia. "If one of this components fails
the development of the country can go through any course, including
Islamic," said Iskandaryan.

It is worth mentioning that earlier politician Leyla Yunus during an
interview to ‘Zerkalo’ stated that ‘Azerbaijan should only wait the
day when Azeri Khomeini comes and says: "Neither West, nor Russia,
only Islam!"
