A Response from an Azerbaijani User Regarding the 'Zangezur Corridor': Vardan Voskanian

Iranologist Vardan Voskanian wrote on his page: “Not only as a result of the external propaganda machine of the Baku despot, but I cannot exclude the possibility of a planned technological intervention from within Armenia, an attempt is being made to instill a sense of hopelessness among us. One of the components of this is the assertion that Azerbaijani society is militant and irrevocably patriotic, therefore, we must supposedly surrender to the whims of the cancerous entity called Azerbaijan.

However, the reality is unequivocally different from the grotesque narrative mentioned above. The guarantee of the Baku despot’s success in the last war was not a more conscious society or greater wealth; it was the hyper-centralized management of military operations and, as painful as it may sound, our own randomness or complete absence in governance.

At this moment, the average Azerbaijani is essentially preoccupied with their daily problems, which have not only remained unresolved but have also worsened. Against the backdrop of the demise of the victorious euphoria, it has become clear that Baku's official propaganda has deceived them for decades by claiming that all difficulties are related to the existing conflict in Artsakh.

In this respect, it is noteworthy that the dream of Baku and the Erdoğan administration about the so-called 'Zangezur Corridor' is almost exclusively a program of the military-political and ideological elite, which does not particularly interest the average Azerbaijani. This is precisely where we must influence with all the propaganda tools at our disposal, creating additional complications for the despot in Baku within his own society.

PS: Attached is a response from an Azerbaijani user that received a large number of likes, in response to the despot’s recent speeches about the 'Zangezur Corridor.' It states: 'With God as my witness, we need to talk realistically. At this moment, no citizen of Azerbaijan is interested in Zangezur. The people are dying of hunger; everyone is focused on their own problems. The plight of a starving populace cannot concern them about communications.'”
