Armenian Church went all-in

The Armenians are losing. And he already understands it. Many of the tools that used to pay dividends no longer work. Previously, one appeal was enough to unleash the flywheel of anti-Azerbaijani hysteria. Now we have to make great efforts to get at least a couple of encouraging words from Western officials.

 

In this case, we are talking only about the West, because it is there that the main base of Armenian-centric interests is concentrated. The East has always been wiser. Even Russia, whose interests have been served by the Armenians for almost two hundred years, tried to keep a certain distance. The Armenians have not managed to form an effective lobby that would dictate to Moscow what to do, as it happens, for example, in France or Canada. Simply put, Armenians in Russia have money, but they have no influence. In the West, they have both.

 

A conference entitled "Armenian Heritage" is planned in Bern (Switzerland) at the end of May. The appeal release on this occasion states that the event is organized by the World Council of Churches in cooperation with the Protestant Church of Switzerland. Such an entourage is necessary to show the power of Christian organizations' support for the dirty Armenian cause, while both the initiative and the money for the event belong to the Armenians. Although we will not deny that Christian organizations, without bothering to delve into the real essence of the matter, sometimes really go along with the diaspora.

 

As follows from the message posted in the Armenian media, about 150 lobbyists will gather to discuss how to more effectively protect the rights of Armenians, which for some reason differ from the rights of Azerbaijanis, how to return the separatist mass to Azerbaijan in the wake of religious hysteria, stop the return of the historical appearance of the Albanian heritage and how to release war criminals on trial. in Baku. All this is gathered under the slogan of "ensuring justice and sustainable peace in the region."

 

In general, if we follow the development of the situation in recent months, we can see that in order to achieve a "sustainable and just peace", as the Diaspora and the lobby see it for the region, Armenians are increasingly resorting to manipulating religious feelings. Other propaganda tools have stopped working, but here you can count on something, because Azerbaijan is a Muslim country, and this is a great success for chauvinists. According to Armenian advisers, in conditions when Islamophobia is on the rise in the West, operating on the religious factor can have a greater effect than talking about human rights in the case of Ruben Vardanyan. Stories about the alleged persecution of Armenian criminals for their religious affiliation and the presentation of the 44-day liberation war as a war against Christian Armenians can arouse great hatred and irritation towards Baku. Unfortunately, there is a basis for this in the West.

 

The aftershocks of the earthquake that befell the Armenians after the conference on the history of Christianity in Azerbaijan, held in April in the Vatican, do not subside. The forgers collect signatures, make statements, bombard various instances of the Catholic Church with slanders, and publish article after article in the Catholic media. All sympathetic forces and adherents of the so-called "Christian brotherhood", which is essentially an Islamophobic club, were involved in the attack.

 

Signatures are being collected on a petition calling for the condemnation and demotion of the Vatican's high officials for providing a platform for a conference where the truth about the Albanian Church was heard. The XII International Scientific Conference dedicated to the heritage of Caucasian Albania was held on April 10 at the Vatican Gregorian Pontifical University of the Holy See. Scientists from Azerbaijan, Russia, Italy, Turkiye, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, South Korea, Poland, Georgia, Germany, France, Malta, Canada, the USA and Lithuania participated in its work. Albanian studies is not such a widespread science in the world. We would not be mistaken if we connect this fact with the geopolitical interests of the powers and the tricks of the Armenians. Thanks to Azerbaijan, the process of reviving the Albanian Church is currently underway, and this topic is increasingly on the agenda of international scientific meetings. This, of course, cannot but worry our neighbors, whose claims to Azerbaijani lands are based solely on the Armenized Albanian spiritual heritage.

 

So, the petition, signed by three hundred representatives of the Diaspora and the very "Christian" club, contains attacks not so much on Azerbaijan as on the Vatican. The Armenians are furious that friendly relations have been established between the Holy See and Baku. In their hysteria, the authors of the slur agreed to declare Cardinal Claudio Gugerotti, Father Mark Lewis and Bishop Vladimir Fekete persona non grata (!) for participating in "an act of historical falsification and moral betrayal." Who, interestingly, was "morally betrayed" by these respected figures of the Catholic Church?

 

"Armenians continue to use the old techniques, petty, backward, slanderous variants that were well-received at the time of the collapse of the USSR. But today they don't go away. Today, these tools can only give temporary positional "victories"," said historian and political scientist Rizvan Huseynov.

 

In the old days, the Armenians managed to achieve something by throwing complaints at various authorities, he noted. They are trying to continue this practice today, not taking into account how much the geopolitical situation and conjuncture have changed.

 

"Now such slanders no longer work. There are, of course, negative nuances, but I don't think that anyone, anywhere, will indulge Armenian interests today. Everything that the Armenian figures wrote, collecting three hundred signatures, is a lie, and it is well known to everyone. The legs of all these petitions and complaints are growing out of Etchmiadzin. This heresy resembles the texts that were written to all authorities, including international ones, when the Armenian Church initiated the "Karabakh movement." But it's 2025, and I don't think these complaints will have any effect.

 

These tantrums from the Armenian side indicate that Azerbaijan is doing everything right, working with the Vatican on the topic of studying Caucasian Albania, the Albanian Church, and the real history of temples in Karabakh. The Armenian side is furious that their old curator and patron in the person of the Vatican suddenly changed his position on the Albanian Church and stopped supporting the Armenian claims. Although there's nothing to be surprised about. Armenia and the Armenian Church have long turned into a suitcase without a handle, which is difficult to carry and a pity to throw away. If earlier Armenians were used against Azerbaijan and Turkey, today the Armenian issue is no longer relevant. The so-called "Armenian question" has not brought any benefit and it is being archived. No matter what anyone says, the situation has changed, we live in completely different geopolitical conditions. And the diaspora, the church and Yerevan will not be able to achieve anything. It is becoming more and more difficult for the Armenian agitprop to "work," said Rizvan Huseynov.

 

Having been defeated in their attempts to influence the secular authorities of the powers, the Armenians are now trying to act through religious organizations and institutions. In connection with the conference held in the Vatican, the Armenians once again remembered Archimandrite Alexy Nikanorov. Father Alexy is a scientist who studies the history of Caucasian Albania. A few years ago, with tantrums and complaints to the Russian Orthodox Church, the Armenians obtained his transfer from Azerbaijan. Although the slanderers, of course, hoped that the archimandrite would be defrocked or punished in some other way, they were disappointed - he was transferred to an Orthodox parish in Malta, where he continued his scientific research. At the Vatican conference, Alexy moderated the section "Azerbaijan: Historical Geography and Statehood" and again came to the attention of the Armenians.

 

Complaints flew to the Pontifical Oriental Institute, pressure began on the dean, and the dean became afraid. Earlier, Nikanorov received a doctoral assignment here, and now the leadership of the institution, having put on an Armenian leash, declared him an "impostor." While he has in his hands all the diplomas and documents on awarding him a doctorate with the necessary seals and signatures. In fact, after complaints from Armenians, the leadership of the Pontifical Oriental Institute is trying to deprive Archimandrite Alexy of his academic titles.

 

In their provocations, the Armenians manipulate international Christian structures. In particular, the World Council of Churches (WCC) has repeatedly been seen indulging in Armenian provocations. So, a couple of days before the start of SOR29 in Baku, a prayer service was held in Geneva on behalf of the WCC for the release of war criminals under investigation in Azerbaijan. Moreover, the provocative event was announced on behalf of the WCC as an initiative of this worldwide Christian organization. Although it is clear that everything was organized and paid for by the diaspora. The action was advertised as a prayer service with the participation of church representatives from all over the world, but in the end it turned out poorly - there was a regular service, during which the separatists and war criminals were simply mentioned.

 

The World Council of Churches is going to support the Armenian provocation in May this year, again providing a platform for aggressive Armenian propaganda and historical falsifications. At the same time, the WCC tries not to recall that the first action of the ASALA terrorist organization was an explosion in the Lebanese office of the World Council of Churches. It happened on January 20, 1975. According to Armenian sources, the terrorist attack in the WCC office is explained as follows: "The World Council of Churches has historically facilitated the emigration of Armenians from Armenia and prevented the return of their historical homeland to the Armenians - "western Armenia"."

 

It seems that today the WCC decided to make amends and make amends.

 

Not only the World Council of Churches, but also the so-called International Christian Concern (ICC) actively cooperates with the Armenians. The ICC became more active on the Armenian front after the 44-day war. Last year, the ICC included Azerbaijan in the top ten countries where Christians are "persecuted." The Christian communities of Azerbaijan were extremely outraged by such falsifications and issued statements. Because if there is a country in the world that cannot be accused of religious chauvinism, it is Azerbaijan. And everyone knows that. Both the World Council of Churches and the obscure International Christian Concern are aware of this, and they are well aware that they are sinning against the truth in Etchmiadzin.

 

Returning to the event planned in Bern, we note that it is intended as a response to the Vatican conference. They will talk about the "Armenian heritage" in Azerbaijan, which in reality is the Albanian heritage, reinterpreted during the years of the Armenian occupation. The Armenians hastened to declare the Albanian shrines the "cradle" of Armenian Christianity, thinking that these lands would remain under occupation forever and, eventually, would be assigned to Armenia. Now the AAC has been left without a "cradle". Etchmiadzin understands today that he has lost, but hope, as we know, is the last to die. However, this process should not be allowed to take its course, because Armenian hopes, even when they are dying, can bring a lot of evil.
