Armenain professor declares war to Turkish, Georgian, Turkmen, Ukrainian and Azerbaijani historians

Armenian professor states in his article published in Russian "Political class" journal Saparmurat Niyazov did not stand against one's interest by calling Seljuk Turkish Empire Turkmen state.

"No state protests against Niyazov's position. Because, no one wants to be the successor of the 'barbaric Empire'," Khachaturyan underlined, APA informs.

The Armenian researcher attempted to distort the histories of turkey, Georgia, Turkmenistan, Ukraine and Azerbaijan as well. Accusing Ukrainian historians of appropriating Russian history, Khachaturyan said the claims that Ukraine is the first Slavic state and the Kyiv Russian State belonged to Ukrainians are groundless.

He also introduced poet Azerbaijani poet Nizami as Persian. He said Nizami never wrote in Azerbaijani but in Persian.

The Armenian professor also raised claims against Turkey related to its denial of the so-called "Armenian genocide".

Ukrainian and Turkmen historians have not yet reacted to Khachaturyan's article written by the order of Russian and Armenian political circles.

Artem Khachataryan is holding an active campaign in the forum section of the countries.ru website for introducing Azerbaijani poets Nizami Ganjavi and Khagani Shirvani as Persian. He also called it nonsense that Armenians killed many Jews in Guba, Azerbaijan saying that the world community is fed up with Jews trying to create an image of suffering nation.
