Dear Mr. Roknich: I read your article with the greatest deliberations. However, I have many serious disagreements with your incredulously simplistic and historically revisionistic and incorrect assertions. You do realize that an entity labeled Azerbaijan Republic did NOT exist until years after the 1915 Genocide of a million and half Armenians by the Ottoman Turks? Wile Armenia has been a distinct National Identity for at least 4,000 years, Azerbaijan Republic was a term used by the Soviet Bolsheviks in the midst of the Period leading to the October Revolution overthrowing the Imperial Russia and ushering in the Soviet Era. What has been termed as AZERBAIJAN REPUBLIC used to be an integral part of Persian "Maavaraa Ghafghaaz" (Beyond Caucasus) Territories loosely known as Shirvan, Ganjeh, Nakhcivan, Ordoobaad, Baku, and ... Then the Bolsheviks wanted to wrest control of the ACTUAL AZARBAIJAN Province from the ailing Persia in 1918. So they minted the term Azerbaijan Republic FOR THE FIRST TIME and applied it to those disunited and haphazard territories. Because they wanted to further destroy the STRONG Armenian National Identity, they made an intentional cutting away of the Armenian Territories and incorporated it into the Fictional Newly Created Azerbaijan Republic. Nagaorno Karabakh is one such example! Even if Nagorno-Karabakh is Internationally recognized as part of Azerbaijan, it is one of those classical WRONG things then. Today, we have several cases of Internationally recognized facts which are being systematically ignored with the full applause and support of the supposed International Community! Such as the the term PERSIAN GULF which is being dubbed as Arabian Gulf! Such as Palestinian Land, which has Israeli Settlements being built upon it, and the United States has frustrated every civil attempt of the United Nations to seek redress. Such as the Persian Gulf Islands of Iran being sought by the Persian Gulf State of UAE. Such as Taiwan, which Americans are constantly in violations of International Law help perpetuate the injustice. The List is very long indeed Mr. Roknich. I urge you not to be so casual about the lives of millions of other people. Armenians have already been slaughterd once back in 1915. Azerbaijan Republic slaughtered again many of them in 1990s. Wh do you hate Armenians Mr. Roknich? Why do you hate Humanity?! Why do you support injustice Sir? If it is all for Oil, then you should know, Armenia, and Nagorno-Karabakh are willing and eager partners in this pipeline. Let them share in the proceeds. They are DEMOCRATIC entities, whereas in Azerbaijan, all the money goes to support a corrupt leader pay for his gambling habits. Azerbaijan is a FAILED State! Respectfully, Nader Rastegar
