The biggest complex of Azerbaijan is the lack of history. He gets mad about this, rushes to public and state microphones and shouts: Urartu is us, Iran is us, we are the brother of Turkey, Armenia never existed. It destroys and destroys centuries-old and thousand-year-old Armenian monuments, thereby deepening its complex and proving: yes, Azerbaijan finds itself adjacent to countries with ancient history – Armenia, Iran, Georgia – and cannot swallow its formal existence.

Azerbaijan’s uncontrolled desire to appropriate everything that belongs to its neighbors, especially Armenians, sometimes goes beyond logic and common sense. So, back in 1998, the father of all Azerbaijan, Heydar Aliyev, apparently due to some unhealthy envy, established the “Azerbaijani Genocide Day”. Why exactly in this wording: not a “Day of MEMORY OF THE VICTIMS”, but a day of genocide. Not a memorable date, but a call.

Secretary of the Security Council of Armenia Armen Grigoryan put forward new negotiating positions at a sensational level in negotiations with Azerbaijan on signing a peace treaty. The main basic principle: the conclusion of a peace treaty with Baku is possible without a final decision on the status of Nagorno-Karabakh.
