Why does Iran approach the Karabakh issue in a sectarian language?

Karabakh

The new war in Karabakh has been going on for more than 10 days. This time, the Azerbaijani army is heading for a victory that no one else had 30 years ago. The liberated lands have brought joy and confidence to the nation in the south as well as in the north.

Since the occupation of Karabakh lasted for many years, the main hope of the Azerbaijanis was the occupation of their lands by Armenia. This issue became a good opportunity for the enemies of the Azerbaijani nation. Iran has always taken a religious view of the Karabakh issue in order to justify its theses.

The words “Karabakh is the Islamic Land” or even “Karabakh is the Shiite Land” can be heard more often than “Karabakh is the Land of Azerbaijan.” This policy is being vigorously pursued both within Iran and in Northern Azerbaijan. Iran has always claimed that it helped Azerbaijan in the Karabakh war, but at that time the Azerbaijani authorities did not want it and even expelled Iran by approaching the West. However, this claim does not seem to be true when looking at historical facts. For example, on May 8, 1992, during the Hashemi Rafsanjani period, Azerbaijani and Armenian officials arrived in Tehran. At that time, Iran proposed a ceasefire agreement to stop the war, and Armenia accepted the ceasefire agreement. But at the same time, the Armenian army occupied the city of Shusha with a great crime. Today, when the Iranian side speaks of the word araji or Farsi miyanci, it does not mention this historical fact. as well as with his strong propaganda he always tries to justify his theses. Who would want to use water from the religious and sectarian sentiments of the nation and see himself next to Azerbaijan?

If we look at what is happening today, it turned out that Iran, which claimed to be neutral in the first days of the war, later sent hundreds of trucks to Armenia. At first, Iran had to admit these things on state television, and then on official television.

As a matter of tradition, the religious people of the Republic of Azerbaijan and those who felt close to Iran began to arouse suspicion, and Iran’s open opening of its territory to Armenia caused concern and protest.

It is clear that Iran has actually made a big mistake. because Iran, which attaches great importance to such propaganda, for a moment fell into a vacuum and lost sight of the people of the Azerbaijani nation who believed in it. Also, as these protests increased, both Iran and Azerbaijan tried to deny the situation. As always, Ali Khamenei’s words “Karabakh is the Islamic Land” began to be repeated more strongly this time. Friday Imams issued a statement. MPs began to speak on behalf of Azerbaijan on social media, but the nation believed that they saw it with their own eyes. As a result, there were large protests in many cities in South Azerbaijan, from Tehran to Tabriz, Urmu and Ardabil. In these protests, the nation demanded the severance of ties with Armenia, but the Iranian government detained dozens of people and at the same time continued its friendship with Armenia. but when he saw the situation, he began to increase his propaganda.

Iran has already spoken out in favor of Azerbaijan, saying that Armenia is an occupier. But his aid to Armenia continued.

Ali Akbar Velayati, Ali Khamenei’s foreign adviser, spoke on behalf of Azerbaijan, but called for the liberation of seven cities. When you look at those 7 cities, you can see the main Azerbaijani lands occupied by Armenia, but Iran gives legitimacy to the fact that Karabakh does not belong to Azerbaijan. In fact, Iran has again spoken in favor of Yerevan.

Iran, which led its leaders to Tehran 28 years ago to call for peace, continues to talk about peace and a ceasefire, just as it did when it invaded Shusha. He also tries to hide and show what he sees with a strong sectarian-centric propaganda and propaganda.

But today, Azerbaijan already has a strong army and a strong nation, and every day it sees the real face of Iran.
