– Actually, all elections result in sure adjustments sooner or later for the rustic. Personally, parliamentary elections may also stimulate construction in our society.
– Your non-participation within the elections raises some questions within the society. You will have a good symbol, you could have a large number of enjoy, and you’ve got sufficient sources to take part within the election and get effects on the subject of monetary skill. Are you now not eager about getting a deputy mandate, or are there different components?
– This query is continuously requested by way of many of us, together with my compatriots from Turkey. They would like me to participate within the elections and turn out to be a deputy. However I’ve already made my determination: I’m really not inquisitive about politics…
– You might be perceived extra as a political candidate within the society…
– Within the society we are living in, whether or not we adore it or now not, we’re within the procedure. That is why we every now and then voice our reviews on some problems. However I’m really not engaged in politics, however in science, and science turns out extra sexy to me than all different occupations. Due to this fact, I dedicate maximum of my time to science, I’m engaged in productive creativity, and I’m operating on my new e-book.

Did you could have any discussion in regards to the seek advice from with the Russian chief, who’s your buddy and fellow scholar?
– Putin visited Azerbaijan a number of instances all over his presidency. Then again, his final seek advice from used to be sharply other from his earlier visits, it used to be gained with nice passion on the planet and in Azerbaijan, and brought about critical discussions. The one query that everybody used to be extra eager about used to be: Why did Putin come to Baku on an reliable seek advice from when the Russian-Ukrainian battle used to be intensifying and Ukraine entered Kursk?
– What used to be mentioned between the 2 leaders in Baku – Aliyev and Putin?
– In most cases, interstate members of the family are mentioned all over reliable visits. Alternatively, Aliyev and Putin gave intensive data to the clicking and the general public in regards to the mentioned problems.
– Do you could have any details about the subjects mentioned by way of the presidents?
– I will most effective say that there used to be a topic relating to me within the discussions held by way of the Presidents. Each presidents agreed at the established order of a Russian-Azerbaijani college in Baku at the foundation of St. Petersburg College. This means that that I’m additionally deliberate to take part within the introduction of that college and the group of the paintings to be completed…
– Did you speak about this with Putin after his seek advice from to Baku?
– Per week after Putin’s seek advice from to Baku, I met him in Moscow and realized his impressions in regards to the seek advice from. Russia is a large, nuclear-armed neighboring state. This is a excellent factor that Azerbaijan has established pleasant members of the family with this nation.
– Did you get the main points in regards to the travel? What in particular did he inform you about Baku and Azerbaijan?
– Putin spoke about the wonderful thing about Baku. In our dialog, he mentioned that he loves Baku an excessive amount of. He shared with me his sure perspectives about Azerbaijan as an entire. He used to be additionally very happy with the hospitality and reception. For the primary time, I wish to percentage with you a small reminiscence of Putin’s Baku. In 2016, when Putin got here to Baku, he invited me to breakfast. All through the dialog, I requested him about his impact of the town of Baku. He spoke back me that he used to be amazed by way of the works completed within the town lately and the way Baku has turn out to be so gorgeous. Then he used an overly fascinating sentence: “If Heydar Aliyev noticed this stuff, he could be happy with his son.”
– The Union of Armenians of Russia appealed to President Putin. They requested Putin for assist in liberating separatist-terrorist leaders imprisoned in Baku. They’re particularly lively with regards to Ruben Vardanyan. What do you suppose, will Putin negotiate with Baku at the factor of liberating the separatists, particularly Vardanya? What are your ideas on Vardanyan, referred to as a businessman?
– I don’t imagine that this subject must be the topic of dialogue between the 2 heads of state. On the similar time, I want to remind you that the individual in query renounced his Russian citizenship at his personal request.
– Lately, there used to be an opinion that Russia has retreated somewhat within the Armenia-Azerbaijani negotiations. Then again, after the Russian president’s seek advice from to Baku, this saving totally disappeared. Whilst in Baku, Putin mentioned that he’s going to tell Nikol Pashinyan in regards to the negotiations. Then a phone dialog with Ilham Aliyev came about. After that, the Ministry of International Affairs of Russia mentioned that the tripartite operating workforce mentioned the direction that are meant to attach the western areas of Azerbaijan with Nakhchivan. To your opinion, have any problems been mentioned right here which might be hidden from the general public?
– Personally, inside the framework of the assembly, the signing of a peace treaty between Armenia and Azerbaijan, in addition to the dialogue of Russia’s request for mediation and Azerbaijan’s settlement to it, aren’t excluded. Basically, for reliable Baku, it does now not topic on which possibility the method takes position. It’s conceivable that the peace talks will happen in Moscow. Actually, Russia hasn’t ever sponsored down from its purpose to mediate, however Armenia does now not comply with it till now.
Azerbaijan, not like Armenia, makes all selections independently, together with selections associated with peace negotiations. Nowadays, no nation can dictate to Azerbaijan, together with Russia.
– So, how did the concept that reliable Baku is underneath the affect of Moscow come about?
– Personally, those that should not have an working out of the processes going down on the planet can most effective suppose that with any nation that Russia has excellent members of the family with, that nation is performing underneath the dictates of Moscow. Lately, Azerbaijan and Russia are allied states. Each nations have pleasant members of the family. Russia, so far as I perceive and know, does now not wish to take at the burden of the issues now not most effective of Azerbaijan, but in addition of its former neighboring republics. On the similar time, he isn’t going to position his burden on pleasant nations. Russia needs to determine pleasant members of the family with the entire peoples of the previous Soviet Union most effective within the financial, humanitarian and political spheres.
– What’s your view at the Russian-Ukrainian battle? How do you notice the result of the battle, at what level do you suppose this battle can finish?
– I’m towards any battle, as it brings many tragedies, misfortune and struggling to households. The society discusses the development and the method that came about repeatedly. However he forgets to research the reasons of this procedure.
What brought about this war? Let’s take an tour into historical past: from the universally known anti-constitutional coup in Ukraine in 2014. At the moment, the forces that got here to energy in Ukraine started to behavior a antagonistic coverage towards Russia, to begin with, towards the pursuits of the Ukrainian state and other folks, which used to be going down underneath the dictates of the West. This, after all, used to be their largest mistake. Along with appearing hostility in opposition to Russia, they rejected the Russian language and the average Russian tradition that additionally they possessed.
The purpose is that despite the fact that the Ukrainian vernacular is the nearest ancestor of the good Russian language, Ukrainians had been looking to have their very own new literary language since about 200 years in the past. This is, Ukrainian intellectuals didn’t need similarity with the Russian language, looking to create an impartial Ukrainian literary language. Then again, since they didn’t take into accout the Russians who lived and nonetheless reside within the territory of contemporary Ukraine, the implementation of this coverage turned into an issue.
Ukraine’s rejection of the Minsk agreements used to be additionally a flawed transfer. Then again, in that settlement, it used to be envisaged that those areas would stay a part of Ukraine, only if the citizens of Donetsk and Lugansk areas had been supplied with the related rights, together with all rights associated with the Russian language and tradition. Some other mistake of the Ukrainians used to be the rejection of the settlement reached in Istanbul, which we’re witnessing lately with its dire penalties. Actually, the US had other plans for Russia. They sought after to contain Putin within the battle and weaken Russia. It appeared to them that as quickly because the battle began, the Russian other folks would oppose the federal government, and the Russian oligarchs would oppose Putin. On the similar time, they predicted that the Russian economic system would cave in and that oldsters who had misplaced their youngsters with the beginning of the battle would get up and make a coup. Then again, none of those expectancies got here true. Western analysts have no idea the psychology of the Russian other folks neatly. During historical past, this has been the case with the Russian other folks: when the rustic is in a hard scenario, they display extra cohesion, different problems take a again seat. When the Russian-Ukrainian battle began, the folks idea that it might finish quickly and didn’t take it very critically. Then again, seeing the involvement of the West, the inhabitants started to unite extra tightly. Nowadays, Russia is without doubt one of the main economically creating nations. Global financial establishments additionally ascertain that despite the fact that sanctions create issues for Russia, the rustic’s gross home product expansion continues and it is likely one of the main nations amongst creating nations on this box.
– As it’s recognized, US presidential candidate Donald Trump mentioned in his observation that if he’s elected president, he can finish the Russia-Ukraine battle. How practical is that this?
– Everybody’s want is that there must be no battle. If Trump says he’s going to finish the battle if elected, then so be it.
– The problem of Russia opening a consulate in Karabakh used to be now not gained unambiguously within the society. There are supporters and combatants. What do you take into consideration it? What’s the explanation why for Russia’s want to open a consulate in Karabakh?
– I haven’t any details about any determination of Russia to open a consulate in Karabakh. Someday, if the Karabakh Financial Zone develops, turns into a vacationer middle, and a lot of Russian vacationers come there, as up to now, then the hole of the consulate can be related.
– Ankara has been looking forward to the seek advice from of the Russian president for a number of months. The Kremlin has continuously introduced that arrangements are being made for this seek advice from, however it isn’t recognized precisely when it’ll happen. Is Putin’s seek advice from to Baku, now not Ankara, a message to Turkey? The place is the location at the Russia-Turkey line?
– Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan may also attend the BRICS assembly in Kazan. It kind of feels that the assembly between the 2 leaders will happen right here, after which it’ll be recognized when the seek advice from will happen. I do not see any risk or any threat referring to Putin’s seek advice from to Ankara…
– Is there a battle of place between West-Russia and West-China for keep watch over of the Zangezur Hall?
– In theory, the Zangezur hall is of significant significance for quite a lot of nations. Even if the West is eager about opening the hall, it needs Armenia, now not Russia, to keep watch over this highway. This isn’t within the pursuits of Azerbaijan. Within the November 10 observation, Russia undertook to take action. Then again, for the reason that West does now not permit this, Azerbaijan’s selection choices might come into play. Azerbaijan, Russia and Iran comply with the brand new highway that can go via Iran. On this case, Armenians are disregarded of the method. I imagine that Zangezur Hall will function sooner or later.
– Critiques also are expressed that Russia will put at the desk the maps from the USSR generation in regards to the disputed territories. Is that this actual?
– In fact, those maps are stored on the Headquarters of the Russian Protection Ministry. Their participation in disputed territorial problems within the delimitation procedure can facilitate the method.
– Is it conceivable for Armenia to depart Russia’s keep watch over and switch totally to the West?
– Armenia has been depending on Russia during historical past. Russia, in flip, has at all times safe Armenians. Russia has a really perfect function within the introduction and lifestyles of Armenia as a state. In brief, it kind of feels unimaginable for Armenia to get out of the Kremlin’s whole keep watch over within the coming years. If this occurs, Armenia’s economic system might face critical issues. Alternatively, Armenia has chilly members of the family with all neighboring nations apart from Russia, and it has nowhere to run. Armenia’s taking safe haven within the West and attracting different undesirable forces to the area too can result in stress in members of the family with Iran.
– We see that many nations are arming Yerevan, towards the background of which the ceasefire is continuously violated at the standard border. What do you suppose, is escalation or peace between Azerbaijan and Armenia conceivable?
– In fact, I imagine in the potential of peace. Regardless of how a lot Armenia is armed, it’ll haven’t any end result, as a result of it isn’t in a position for battle. Even if it has army sources, it does now not have human sources. A identical scenario has arisen in Ukraine. We gained the battle. There is not any want for a brand new escalation at the moment. If Armenia needs it, then Azerbaijan may also get started battle arrangements.
– It used to be reported that Russia supported Armenia all over the 44-day Patriotic Battle…
– Such claims aren’t convincing. Actually, at the moment, Russia didn’t beef up Armenia, pointing out that the battle used to be occurring within the territory of Azerbaijan. Even on account of this, the members of the family with Armenia had been reasonably strained. They accused Moscow of now not supporting Armenia.
– To your opinion, what used to be the primary issue figuring out the victory of Azerbaijan within the 44-day battle?
– There have been the next 5 components that decided our victory within the 44-day battle. to begin with the endurance of the folks had already run out, and the will to free up their occupied lands via battle rose, even at the price of martyrdom. 2nd, used to be the military’s fight coaching, army and ethical readiness for battle. The cohesion of the folks and the military used to be crucial issue right here. 3rd an important issue used to be the pinnacle of state’s accountability, his braveness, his decisive and ultimate selections, his right kind research and review of the present scenario. Fourththe ethical and political beef up of pleasant states to Azerbaijan, together with brother Turkey, and 5thRussia remained impartial on this battle.
