Azerbaijan has an inferiority complex towards those with whom it is competing or in war. Azerbaijan tries to be like Armenia in monuments dedicated to the diaspora, genocide and genocide victims, said Armenian Genocide Museum-Institute Director Hayk Demoyan while meeting with journalists today. In his opinion, such attempts to be alike testify to the fact that “being an artificial people and nation, Azerbaijanis are looking for ways to preserve this divided nation.”<\/p>\n

Demoyan showed copies of two photographs from the book The Geography of Western Azerbaijan. In one of the photographs, according to Demoyan, an Armenian khatchkar (cross-stone) can be seen; while in the other, an “alleged” Azerbaijani historical, cultural monument.<\/p>\n

“It appears that the computer is doing its work,” said the historian.\u00a0<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Demoyan testified to Azerbaijan’s “unprofessional approach” by pointing out the words in the Armenian language that can be seen on a part of the monument.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The museum-institute director also didn’t omit Azerbaijan’s “pyramid,” noting the Aliyev family wealth. Among their resources, according to Demoyan, is the Heydar Aliyev Foundation put into operation by Azerbaijan’s First Lady Mehriban Aliyeva, as well as the UN and UNESCO, whose goodwill ambassador is Azerbaijan President Ilham Aliyev’s wife.<\/p>\n

“Those resources are put to use in ensuring anti-Armenian sentiments,” he said, also turning his attention on the books published in the world and particularly by the best publishers in Moscow \u2014 again not forgetting to emphasize the role of financing: “The money is doing its work.”<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
“This anti-Armenian policy does not promise anything good to Azerbaijan and speaks to the fact that Azerbaijan has no other way of unifying,” he said.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
In his opinion, if the Armenians didn’t exist, neither would the Azerbaijanis, acknowledging that he understands this is not a scientific statement.\u00a0<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
If the anti-Armenian resource runs out, said Demoyan, so too will the Azerbaijani people.\u00a0<\/p>\n
