YSU rector: history distortion is guarantee of Azerbaijani nation’s existenceMay 4, 2011 - 13:11 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - Rector of Yerevan State University Aram Simonyan said that there is nothing new in the fact that the Azerbaijani nation distorts the Armenian culture and history and does it from the very first day of its origin. “History falsification is a guarantee of the Azerbaijani nation’s existence,” Simonyan said during the RA Defense Ministry-hosted scientific conference, entitled “History and Culture: against Falsification and Infringement.” According to him, Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev in his statements always calls for the ideology of Pan-Turkism. “Those people, who consider that Pan-Turkism is not actual today, are wrong. There have always been the threats of Pan-Turkism, and they come from our Azerbaijani and Turkish neighbors.” Simonyan attached importance to the activity of those Armenian historians and scientists, who would manage to split the Turkish unity. According to him, Armenia should not wait for anti-Armenian statements of Azerbaijan to react to them: “We should be the first to attack.” Top stories Achieving stable peace between Armenia and Azerbaijan remains a priority of the OSCE, said Ian Borg.
