We got as far as Noah: political provocations of Armenian myth-makers

Azerbaijan is trying to appropriate the tomb of Noah. The Armenian Geghard Foundation writes about this in all seriousness, positioning itself as "a leading scientific and analytical institution that deals with the problems of history, politics, economics, demography, and culture of Armenia and neighboring regions." However, the website of the foundation does not indicate who finances it. But the goals of this project are clear: territorial claims against Azerbaijan.

Yes, under the heading "Armenian settlements," there are examples of Armenian myth-making, the essence of which boils down to claims on Sheki, Kish, Goyblug, Shahbulag, and other Azerbaijani settlements. Armenian myth-makers are not troubled by the fact that the names of these territories are purely Azerbaijani: Goyblug means "Blue Spring," and Shahbulag means "Shah Spring."

"The toponym Nakhichevan is associated with the biblical world flood, and Nakhichevan was considered one of the oldest cities in Armenia founded by Patriarch Noah," predictably lies the Geghard Foundation. In reality, Nakhchivan is the oldest land of Azerbaijan, with a centuries-old history. Even in the Neolithic era, local tribes lived here, engaging in various forms of farming and craftsmanship.

This place was called "Nakhchuan," "Nakhjuan," or "Nagshejahan." In some Persian and Turkic sources, Nakhchivan is listed as "Nagshijahan." Back in the Sassanid era, from the first half of the sixth century to the first half of the seventh century, silver coins were minted in special mints, on which the word "Nakhchivan" was inscribed. But, as we can see, there are no historical, factual, or moral barriers for Armenian mythologists. They are ready to lie nonstop about everything.

So, they call Noah the "Armenian patriarch." No, Ara, call him a member of the Civil Contract party. At the same time, some claim that Adam and Eve were also Armenians who predicted the "kebab revolution" and the coming to power of Nikol Pashinyan in Armenia, who spends his free time experimenting with facial hair and cycling.

In reality, let me remind you that the prophet Nuh is one of the most prominent figures in the Quran. The 71st Surah of the Quran is named after him. The name of the Prophet Nuh is mentioned 46 times in 26 surahs of the Quran. He is called in the Qur'an an "expository warner." During the Great Flood, Nuh, along with other people and animals, escaped on the ark. This Quranic account aligns with the biblical story of Noah.

As you can see, in reality, there is nothing Armenian here. But the scale of Armenian isolation from reality and the extent of Armenian myth-making are such that we often hear all sorts of nonsense, the replication of which has a clear political background. Yes, we have another example of Armenian territorial claims against Azerbaijan.

We remember the fairy tales and legends fabricated by Armenian myth-makers at the beginning of their campaign of claims to Karabakh. There were false economic "arguments" and "historical" conclusions. The essence of all this activity was obvious — the seizure of Azerbaijani lands. Unfortunately, 20% of Azerbaijan's territory was under Armenian occupation for more than a quarter of a century, and throughout this time, efforts were made to "substantiate" the Armenian crime on these Azerbaijani lands.

"Ancient" churches and khachkars were constructed, and a diverse audience was brought to these sites with the purpose of replicating Armenian myths. This is why a significant number of ordinary people in European countries mistakenly believe that Azerbaijan "attacked Armenia" and did not liberate its lands from Armenian occupation.

Fortunately, Azerbaijan has fully restored its sovereignty and territorial integrity. In the liberated territories, work is underway to return these lands to their historical appearance, which, of course, infuriates the Armenian myth-makers and their foreign patrons, who, as we see, continue their provocative activities.

Looking at this, it becomes clear that there can be no peace with Armenia until the Constitution of this country is amended. Everything that relates to territorial claims against Azerbaijan should be removed from it. Otherwise, at some point, the new Armenian government may use such myths, propagated by provocateurs like the Geghard Foundation, as an "argument" to start a new war with our country.
