Azerbaijan not to actively participate in war against Iran
Azerbaijan will not actively participate in the war against Iran, but we should nod ignore the fact that Baku, as always, will raise the problem of Iranian Azerbaijan (ancient Atrpatakan), again and again underlining the same false and funny thesis that their brothers live there, specialist in Persian philology Tadevos Charchyan told in the interview to the PanARMENIAN.Net. He said, it's not a secret for anyone that residents of Iranian Azerbaijan are Azeris, in other words, Turkish speaking Iranians. "I thin, Baku will not take any actions, it will remain neutral, since from the one hand Azerbaijan will not want to harm not so good relations with Islamic Iran, and from thee other hand, it will not dare offend the United States," he stressed.

In the context of Turkey Charchyan noticed that anyway it has pro-American moods. "Though it is very difficult to predict. Let us see how the events will develop," he underscored.
