Arif Yunusov: Arab World Practically Backs Armenians
Arab world practically backs Armenians, stated Head of the Department of Conflictology of the Institute for Peace and Democracy, political scientist Arif Yunusov. «Let us be frank. In Lebanon the Armenian Diaspora actively supports Hezbollah and it is not a big secret. Or does Iran help us in the Karabakh issue? No, it does not: only owing to Iranian assistance Armenia could endure economic problems. And not only economic ones,» the Azeri political scientist stated.

Yunusov underscored that Israel helped and continues helping Azerbaijan to strengthen army and economy. «Did we forget about the role of the Jewish lobby? Thus, criticism aimed against Israel should be rational and constructive,» he said.
