In the tragic event that took place in Moscow on March 23, the leadership of Azerbaijan blamed Armenians through the state media. A number of Azerbaijani media outlets state that the tragedy was a provocation organized by the leaders of the Armenian community and Armenia against the Azerbaijanis, “It is no coincidence that the terrorist attack took place in the concert hall belonging to the family of Azerbaijani businessmen, the Agalarovs, and also that many Azerbaijanis went to Crocus that day to celebrate Nowruz…”
The Armenian military organizations, in particular, VOMA, were not spared from the accusations either. The absurdity of the situation has reached such a level that the Azerbaijani official media says that the weapons used in the terrorist attack were those that have long been out of circulation and are used only during the VOMA trainings, therefore, high is the probability that the terrorists were trained by Armenians.
The media outlets working under the direct instructions of the Azerbaijani regime draw the attention of their society to the “circumstance” that what happened was a “message” to the state of Azerbaijan.
Let us go over the motivations behind this move of the enemy one by one.
First, thus they aim to deepen the crisis in the Armenian-Russian relations as much as possible. Yes, Russia fully realizes, or at least will soon realize that this huge wave of prospective lies was just another step par for the course with the rulers of Azerbaijan, but, unfortunately, in overemotional and overstressed situations, even if it is a lie, the information wave affects even the most experienced statesmen, let alone the society.
Second, after the incident in Nerkin Hand about two months ago, we said several times that the Azerbaijanis would launch several attacks in a short period of time, as always blaming the Armenian side, as in the case of Nerkin Hand, saying that “Armenians are stationing terrorist groups along our borders”. The continuation of this can be as follows. They will say: “There is a threat of terrorist attack on our borders. Thus, it is necessary to immediately undertake a large-scale ‘anti-terrorist’ operation.”
Thus, after the shocking incident that happened two days ago, the Azerbaijani side decided to use people’s mourning as a means to “prove” that Armenians are actively using the terrorist groups they have created, and that Armenians in general are already posing a threat to the world.
While real terrorists, the leaders of Azerbaijan, promising a reward for the beheading of an Armenian, will announce both before and after the next provocation on our borders that, especially after the incident in Moscow, their suspicions have become even more valid, besides, over time, they have acquired “reliable information” that Armenians have adopted the policy of continuously terrorizing their country and their population. Moreover, this thesis is going to be one of the cornerstones of Azerbaijani justifications for another war.
It is noteworthy that Armenians are being accused of organizing a terror attack on religious and national grounds by the authorities, that regularly use their religion to terrorize our civilian population, which, according to international law, contains an element of genocide. And the accusations are voiced by the media outlets that remind their population several times a day that they should get ready for the return to “Western Azerbaijan”.
It is not by chance that the real terrorists are accusing us of this, because it is them who are capable of shooting and dismembering innocent people and who know perfectly well how this is done. “We are proud that the new generation is growing up with hatred for the enemy.” These are Aliyev’s words.
