Any attempts to use Ukraine and its media to provoke a conflict are unacceptable, Ukrainian political analyst Dmitry Petrenko said.

He commented on Azerbaijani media’s attempts to draw Ukraine into anti-Armenian publicity stunt, Analitika.at.ua reported.

The articles which appeared in media show controversy within the Azerbaijani community of Ukraine as well as between the community and official Baku, he believes

The analyst said ethnic minority groups must move beyond the frames of minority and perceive themselves as majority, essential part of the Ukrainian nation. In this case communities may have their role in multinational Ukrainian family.

“I would like to point out the Armenian community having thousand-year history of living together with Ukrainians. The Armenian Diaspora left a mark on history, culture and language of the modern Ukrainian state, and is more organized and integrated into the Ukrainian society in n public activities, politics, local self-government,” he said.
