Victor Nadein-Raevsky: The people of Azerbaijan are not ready to  realize the mistakes of the past (video)

ArmInfo.One should not expect a humane attitude towards Armenians from Turks. On December 1, during a meeting of the Lazarev Club in Yerevan,  a famous Russian orientalist Victor Nadein-Raevsky, stated this.

He noted that, as everyone knows from history, in 1915, the Turks  decided to deport and destroy Armenians, as the latter crashed into  the Turkic world with a wedge. "In general, the situation has not  changed much since then, and how the Armenians were perceived in  1915, as they are perceived now", Nadein-Raevsky said.  The expert  noted that over the past 20 years, the ideas of Turkism have become  widespread in the post- Soviet space, since thousands of students  received their education in the so-called Turkish lyceums in dozens  of countries around the world. "Thus, a new generation was raised  with a new perception of the world. These people, undoubtedly,  received an excellent education, however, there is one" but "- the  study of history is lame. All this is now being promoted in modern  Turkey," Nadein-Rayevsky said .

He also stated that today it is obvious that the people of Artsakh  are not ready to go under the yoke of Azerbaijan. The expert also  expressed the hope that Russia is aware of the situation. "Any  Armenian in the territory of Azerbaijan will either be destroyed or  expelled from these territories, as it was in Nakhijevan.  These  people are not ready to realize the mistakes of the past and any  surrender of territories today (the so- called security belt around  the former Nagorno Karabakh Autonomy - ed. note.) is loss of defense  positions ",  the expert concluded.
