Despite official Baku has repeatedly declared its position towards Iran, interested international powers are still trying to cause tension in the relations between Baku and Tehran. US Jamestown Foundation president Glen Howard comments on the subject in his interview. \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>&#8211; <em>What specific line does the US support in relation to Azerbaijan amid the serious geopolitical processes occurred in the Mideast, I mean \u201cArab spring\u201d?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; I do not think theUSorAzerbaijanplay any role in \u201cArab spring\u201d. TheUSdoesn\u2019t support any particular line. We don\u2019t also support what is happening againstSyria. It does not any affect onCaucasus. It more affects onRussia.Russiais subject to Arab spring more rather than theSouthern Caucasus. Because you have theUSAmbassador who is very active in democracy promotion. He has been chased by Russian NTV TV Channel. And this is the sign thatRussiafeels more trouble with regard to Arab spring rather thanSouthern Caucasus.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>&#8211; <em>What does Washington expects from Azerbaijan in its Iran policy?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; TheUShas already stated that it doesn\u2019t support attack onIran.\u00a0 TheUSeven has warnedIsraelnot to attackIran. I believe thatIsraeldue to good relations with theUSwill follow the advice of President Mr. Barak Obama. I do not thinkIsraelwill attackIran. All these are rumors designed to make people scared and afraid. All these are a part of geopolitical plan by the outside powers intending to destroy stability in theSouthern Caucasus.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>&#8211; How would you comment on the rumors that Israel will use Azerbaijani lands in order to attack Iran?\u00a0 <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p>&#8211; I hope you understand the military importance of it. This is not a military base to attackIran. Contrary, ifIsraelattacksIran, thenIsraelmilitary air forces will usePersian Gulffor it. But if it happens,Israeljets will not have enough fuel to go back and they will be obliged to useAzerbaijanlands only for the purpose of getting fuel. This doesn\u2019t mean attack onIran, this is just air route forIsraeljets to go back.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>&#8211; <em>As you see there are attempts to confront Iran and Azerbaijan. How do you think, what will be Washington\u2019s answer if Iran acts aggressively against Azerbaijan? For example, overflying a border. \u00a0<\/em>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Aggressive?. I thinkAzerbaijanis also ready for such aggressive reply.Iranwill not use military againstAzerbaijan,Iranwill use other methods. I believe thatIrandoesn\u2019t want to apply military force againstAzerbaijanand even is not ready for it. Why doesIranneed it? Today whenIranhas an attack danger from the Persian gulf,Tehrandoesn\u2019t need another problem in another border.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>&#8211; In the US today we hear offers about dialogue with Iran more than war. How do you think, why such dialogue offers are not voiced louder? <\/em><\/strong><em><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Because sometimesIsraelwarns the world thatIran\u2019 nuclear program is dangerous. When official Tel-Aviv openly informs thatIran\u2019s nuclear program is dangerous, we have to be anxious and it causes warlike atmosphere. This is useful for many sides includingIsrael. On the other side, war threats are also for threateningIran.Iranalso uses some words to threatenIsrael. So, sometimesIranmust be reminded thatIsraelhas strategic relations withAzerbaijan. This is natural and understandable.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>&#8211; Can we say that Israel puts pressure on the situation? <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>-Israelputs pressure on the situation?Israelis an independent country and may have good relations with any country of the world. Therefore ifIsraelhas military relations withAzerbaijanit is good. Because,Azerbaijanis a good partner in military field.Azerbaijandoesn\u2019t have to get the weapon only fromRussia.Azerbaijanmay buy weapons from any country of the world in order to protect its country.<\/p>\n<p>Nowadays discussions are held between theUSandIraninIstanbul. It doesn\u2019t mean that there will be conflict between theUSandIran. If there are diplomatic relations between theUSandIran, how can we speak of warlike atmosphere? IfIranthinks that it has war danger from theUS, then why do they conduct new talks and dialogue with theUSinIstanbul?<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Source \u2013 \u00a0www. newbakupost.az<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Azerbaijan is not subject to \u00a0\u201cArab spring\u201d &nbsp; Gulnara \u0130nandzh, \u00a0 Director of Information and Analytical Center Ethnoglobus (ethnoglobus.az), editor of turkishnews.com website.
