Oqtay Atakhan: "We should rather develop ourselves and bring the truth about our problems via our mass medias and communications instead of blaming some Russian mass medias"

- How would comment on the action of the Russian portal Mail.Ru against the territorial integrity of Azerbaijan?

- There is nothing surprising about it. Such actions are taken not only by Russian but also other foreign mass medias, as well as public and state organizations. We should rather develop ourselves and bring the truth about our problems via our mass medias and communications instead of blaming some Russian mass medias.

- You are right. We have repeatedly witnessed that different Russian companies and news portals challenge the territorial integrity of Azerbaijan. What is it connected with?

- It is connected with the fact that all countries, except for two or three states, in fact do not recognize the territorial integrity of Azerbaijan.

The fact that no one recognizes Armenia as an aggressor country and perceive it as an equal party in the said conflict, in which we are bound to make a "compromise", implying that we must admit our guilt and reject our native lands, proves most things...

Thus, instead of initiation of the second world war and declaration of war to fascist aggressor, the leading world states could have urged the occupied France, Poland, Holland and USSR and all others to sit on the negotiation table with the fascist Germany, which occupied them, and attain an agreement with it, by no way applying force in response, which today the world community does not recognize in our case.

If Great Britain and the United states had behaved like that and bound others to do that, it would be clear that the current political map of the world would have been different. It means that what is allowed to super states is prohibited to small countries like Azerbaijan.

- I would call it a tough comparison. But let's get back to the assessment of the reasons of separate cases of disrespect towards the territorial integrity of Azerbaijan. Thus, there is ArmRosgazprom, which ensures gas supply to Nagorno karabakh. Gazprom owns 67.94% in the founding capital, the government of Armenia 26.23% and ITERA 5.83%. Does it prove that Gazprom is aware that gas is supplied to the occupied lands of Azerbaijan?

- The government of Russia which owns Gazprom de facto and de jure and via it ArmRosgazprom is aware not only of it and everything that is going on both in Armenia and in Azerbaijan but is a direct ideologist and initiator of most that is happening in the region.

- Does Gazprom have a significant influence on the external policy of Russia?

- Gazprom and Lukoil in Russia, as well as BP in Great Britain and all similar producing companies of other countries, including all those foreign companies, operating in Azerbaijan, are in fact state "backs"- the representatives of these countries in the regions and the countries, where these companies work.

And the most important is that these "backs" in fact unite all interests and the services of these countries including external political, external economic, reconnaissance, counter-reconnaissance, information and propagandist.

- How will Azerbaijan build its further relations with Gazprom and Russia?

- The same as we build relations with all those foreign companies, which, unlike Gazprom, in fact own our oil and our gas and most of other things, we do not think of or mention.

Gazprom has just stated the intention to buy our gas while US companies along with British and other ones have fully seized control over our natural resources and what? Don't they provide direct financial assistance both to Armenia and Nagorno Karabakh?

The problem lies not with Russia, the United States, Great Britain and almost all the remaining countries of the world, who do not care of Azerbaijan and Azerbaijani people. The problem lies with our improvidence, bribery and constant greediness. If after the death of the prominent figure of our people Muslim Magomayev it became clear that most people not only among youth but also among older generation do not know who he was and are absolutely indifferent to this tragic event - what can be said about such people?

If we admitted on the state level that about 5,000 elderly people, women and children were captured only in 2008 15 years after 1993, which morality, honor and dignity can be spoken of? We have deserved everything that we have now.
