YEREVAN, OCTOBER 20, ARMENPRESS: Azerbaijan makes use of the anti-Armenian “virus” for confirmation of its own identity, Hayk Demoyan, director of the Armenian Genocide Museum-Institute, told Armenpress, adding in future that policy will originate serious problems inside the very Azerbaijan.
“From 1988 a political line was designed in that country, by which the issue of the Nagorno Karabakh was looked upon as an important factor by national collectivity,” he noted, adding that if this psychological resource expires itself, the integral basis of the Azerbaijani state will be eliminated.
“As a historian and a person who is engaged in ethno-psychology, I can say that the complex of national inferiority is quite strong in Azerbaijan,” he said, adding that the complex is manifested in two main directions – imitation and duplication. According to the historian, the Azerbaijani authority imitates the Armenian state which it has proclaimed an enemy.
“It imitates the Armenian Diaspora trying to create its own. Even imitates the phenomenon of the Armenian Genocide, noting that as if it is the Azerbaijani people that gave experienced the genocide,” Hayk Demoyan said. And the duplication is mainly running in the direction of Turkey – Aliyev’s figure is paralleled with the one of Ataturk.
According to Mr. Demoyan, one manifestation of the complex of inferiority is that the Azeri try to raise the highest flag of the world, which ended with comedy. “These complexes stem from the fact that Azerbaijan is an artificially-formed state,” he stressed.
The historian said that the state of Azerbaijan has been formed by Young Turks, making use of the Caucasian Tatars.
