ArmInfo.Azerbaijan creates the same problems for Iran as Ukraine does for Russia, says political scientist Stepan Danielyan.
According to the expert, the state policy of Ukraine and Azerbaijan is based on nationalism, the extreme manifestations of which are often based on the propaganda of hatred.
In this vein, he added that if in Ukraine they believe that Russian statehood originated in Ukraine - in Kyiv, then in Azerbaijan they believe that the Turks united Iran. In particular, after the Arab invasions in the 7th century, on the ruins of historical Iran, and before that, Turkic tribes ruled there, that is, they "represent the state-forming ethnic group in Iran."
"Russia and Iran are multinational empires, Azerbaijan and Ukraine are territories of nationalism. If Ukraine became all-Russian, then Azerbaijan became anti-Iranian.
These are conflicts between empires (the word empire does not express the nature of empires) and nationalist projects, and they are incompatible by their nature.
The conflict between Iran and Azerbaijan is predetermined, the problem lies in the timing and composition of the forces involved," he concluded.
Ambassador of Iran to Azerbaijan Seyed Abbas Mousavi said that the Presidents of Azerbaijan and Iran, Ilham Aliyev and Ebrahim Raisi, will meet at the border of Khudaafar (the occupied territory of Artsakh) before the Nowruz holiday.
He also informed that the Azerbaijani Embassy in Tehran is preparing to resume its activities in the near future and the delegation has already arrived in Tehran to facilitate the necessary measures.
