YEREVAN. – The Analytical Centre on Globalization and Regional Cooperation carried out several programs, in recent times, which deal with a variety of European universities, Aravot daily writes. And the Centre’s director Stepan Grigoryan recorded an interesting fact:  

“There is a fairly large number of Azerbaijani academics who work in very important European universities, which provide the future presidents and other senior officials of those countries. They [the Azerbaijani scholars] occupy significant positions. It is clear that they introduce their ideology, [and] push forward     their position, which creates an environment. This is a process which later will yield quality, and this is a result of precise and determined activity. Tremendous amount of money is spent on those people, and it is not surprising that Azerbaijani lobby is slowly beginning to grow sprouts,” Aravot writes.
