YEREVAN.- The recent events show that Azerbaijan and Turkey are jointly carrying out partition of Iran. Especially it refers to northern Turkic-speaking part of the Iranian state, expert in Iranian studies Armen Israelyan said.

“I think that the very creation of the state of Azerbaijan was aimed at partition of Iran. This was mainly supported by Turkey. Unfortunately, at that time Iran did not have a capacity of preventing creation of a false state,” he said.

The expert noted that “World Azerbaijanis Congress” organization holds regular meetings to raise the question on Turkic-speaking Iranian Azeris.

The recent events show that the policy of Azerbaijan and Turkey against Iran has become unprecedented.

“Back in 2010-11, territorial claims on northern Iran were voiced with the help of media and historians. Starting from the second half of 2012, the demands are already voiced by officials,” Israelyan noted.
