Azerbaijan Humanist Party Leader Ogtay Atakhan spoke to Day.Az in an interview.
Day.Az: Since Sept. 15, Supreme Body of the Armenian Revolutionary Federation has organized a number of promotional actions against Armenian-Turkish protocols initialed in Switzerland. What would be the outcome of these actions by Dashnaks?Ogtay Atakhan: First, it should be noted that the main demand of Dashnaks in this situation is that Turkey will include an item on recognition of the so-called “genocide” in the agreement and in this sense Dashnaks indeed with even greater force will conduct propaganda attacks around the world until this agreement is signed. But in fact they are perfectly aware that the agreement is their great victory, a huge victory for all Armenians and that the agreement is actually de facto and unofficial recognition by Turkey of “genocide” of Armenians widely campaigned worldwide.
But despite this, as Dashnaks as real political artists and great political provocateurs and campaigners will be scolding and cursing them ostensibly because it compromises to Turkey and agrees without inclusion of item of "genocide" to the agreement. This is great political and geopolitical game, very smart, very productive for Dashnaks and for their Nazism in which, as it should be known to professionals, Armenians must be the best masters in the world.
Q: Will existence of ARF, whose ideology is the action for recognition of the so-called "Armenian genocide" in Ottoman Turkey in 1915, make any sense after the matter will be considered by historians of Turkey, Armenia and Switzerland?A: We should clarify one very important fact, which will very easily put everything in its place. The so-called Armenian Revolutionary Federation (Dashnaksutun) was created, as witnessed by Armenian historians themselves, “in July-August 1890 in Tbilisi.” Armenian historians refer start of the so-called “Armenian massacres” to “July-August 1894.” That is, as you can see, the party of Armenian Revolutionary Federation (Dashnaksutun), founded four years before the official date of the so-called "genocide ", failed to put “the question of genocide” to basis of its ideology. Armenian Revolutionary Federation is a purely militant, terrorist, Nazi and racist in spirit, and in this sense a purely fascist which was ahead of fascism of the 20th century and even served it as a perfect example. The party since its inception raised questions of arming Armenian population, terrorist and military actions against local civilian population as well as representatives of the government of the Turkish state.
Q: Is it possible in this case to say that the leadership of the ARF is concerned first of all not about the actions that could benefit Armenia, but it his personal, mercantile profit, which consists in squeezing money from the Armenian diaspora for the action to get recognition of the "Armenian genocide"?A: Of course, individuals in any of the Nazi political movements have always been guided by mercantile motives. But in general, of course, the Armenian Revolutionary Federation is a kind of secular ideological and strategic think tank of Armenians, though similar in this respect, but in origin secondary after Armenian church, which carries out a mission of a constant generator and catalyst for the ideological and combat readiness of Armenians and Armenian state to fulfill their "sacred mission" – cleaninga living space for their nation at the cost of ethnic cleansing.
Q: How far current Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan has moved aside in his views from the Dashnaks given the fact that under his administration Armenia voted against the resolution proposed by Georgia on the Georgian refugees from Abkhazia and South Ossetia at the UN General Assembly and openly declared there is need to give status of regional language to Armenian language in Georgia?A: In this sense, the current president of the artificial state and so-called "Armenian Republic” is Dashnak to the backbone. He grew up in Dashnak ideology and was nourished by Dashnak propaganda. And, of course, his stance on the other Caucasian states and territories is a direct reflection and an expression of ideology, strategy and tactics of the Armenian Revolutionary Federation (Dashnaksutun) and the gradual usurping others' lands and territories accompanied by ethnic cleansing of indigenous population from their lands and territories.
Q: Simple analysis of history shows that Armenians raise questions related to their "right" to certain territory of the state, residents of which they were when these states were experiencing the most difficult periods in their development. Remember the Ottoman Empire and look at the modern-day Georgia. Can one expect Armenians who now live, particularly the U.S., Russia, France will take similar treacherous acts when these states will experience a very difficult period in its history?A: The fact is that, firstly, work on attribution of a particular territory to themselves, to their nation, they do in a permanent and constant manner although not always explicitly and openly, but always with the same activity, initiative and enthusiasm. Secondly, they understand that the shortest path to victory in politics lays through not morality, generosity but rather through immorality, through the perfidy, meanness, cunning, duplicity, lies and lack of principle.
Therefore in any convenient and favorable to them a minute they are prepared to bring their hidden, underground work on the implementation of Nazi goals to the level of open, explicit expansion. What is the most opportune moment for this? Clearly, when their enemy suffers any domestic or foreign difficulties and problems, and even better if all the difficulties and challenges initiated and instigated by Armenians themselves. So all that is happening today in Georgia might happen in any other country with Armenian community.
