To cause the corruption, mutation and destruction of the genetic code, Armenian scientists, joined by their Russian colleagues, invented “Mersin-N” pharmaceutical compound. According to the information available on this compound, it would be used to implement a program of genetic terror against nations possessing healthy genetic codes. This program continues to be implemented to this day.380
It is pointless to speak in earnest and try to refute the existence of any such compound or its use by the Azerbaijanis for that matter; however, the Azerbaijani society harbors a genuine conviction that Armenians are carrying out a deliberate subversive policy against if not the genes than at least individual representatives of the Azerbaijani people.
Often, people who are not only far from morality but are poorly versed in school taught disciplines hurry to make a display of their patriotism and grab their share of glory.
Extract from an interview by a famous Azerbaijani actress, Shukyufa Musayeva who tells the story of her involvement in the fighting over Karabakh: I was wounded in the blink of an eye. We were waging a battle, and two of our askers381 burnt down to death. Later, I was told that I, profusely bleeding, screamed: “Commander, don’t let the boys burn to death!” As I passed out, I slipped into a clinical death. I was taken to Baku in a helicopter to the Semashko hospital. I was hurt beyond recognition; fragments were all over my body and especially on my face. They stitched together a wound on my forehead, but it would not heal. As I was already going through the recovery period, a doctor tried to pull out my frontal bone using a pair of tongs. I didn’t feel anything, I only saw another doctor enter the room, give him a slap in the face and take him away with words: “What is it? Do you want to make her miserable?”
It is only now that I realize that this doctor either did somebody’s bidding or was Armenian. Later, I read that the human memory is contained in the frontal bone382. I don’t know the reason, but this Armenian doctor in his attempt to pull out my frontal bone wanted to erase and remove my memory.383
Occult practices hold a special place in unmasking the subversive role of Armenians. Parapsychologists and psychics have joined the fight against the pernicious Armenian influence and claim in dead earnest that “Armenia is launching hostile magical assaults against Azerbaijan through releasing energy waves to induce depression, aggression, despondency, vindictiveness, etc”.
From an interview given to Bizim Yol by a phytotherapist and parapsychologist Tunzala Bayramova: “Azerbaijan is in a state of war with Armenia, and the war is waged not only using weaponry, but also over various other channels. For instance, those who have lost their homes are aggressive, with problems rising between them and the locals because of their inability to find common ground; contradictions also rise between rural and urban populations. All of it bears the impact of our enemy’s magic manipulations. On the other hand, I am more concerned with the lack of love in our society. People feel a void that becomes filled with mercenariness, greed and avidity intrinsic to the period of transition”, stated T. Bayramova.
The parapsychologist assures that Armenia is mounting alleged magical assaults against Azerbaijan through releasing energy waves which induce heavy depression, aggression, despondency, vindictiveness, etc. “There, sorcerers comprise 20 % of their population. Each country has its own political laboratories and scientific centers studying magic, parapsychology and extrasensory powers; these centers do the bidding of the country’s leadership. Regretfully, Azerbaijan is an exception and becomes target of such attacks”, assures the phytotherapist and parapsychologist.384
Judging by the publications appearing in the Azerbaijani press, Azerbaijanis are quite superstitious and fervently believe in psychics, witches and sorcerers. The sector of occult services in Azerbaijan accounts for an approximate turnover of 200 million manats.385 With this in mind, there can be no doubts that the parapsychologists’ message is surely to drive home and be blindly accepted and added to the armory.
The Azerbaijani website Vesti.az: An unknown person called the 112 service of the Ministry of Emergency Situations of Azerbaijan and reported that Armenians had attached a bomb to his back.386
A significant share in the theory of conspiracy and subversive action goes to claims of a “classic” terror at the hands of Armenians (kidnapping, terror acts, etc.). It must be noted that Azerbaijan has publicly announced that “in connection with threats from ASALA terrorist organization” all itineraries of Azerbaijani officials will be kept secret.387 However, after a while, the publication of information on the movements of officials resumed.388
The hand of Armenians, represented by a phantom Armenian named Maukamyan, was unveiled in nothing short of orchestrating the collapse of the Soviet Union as well as a “series of terrorist acts”, including the Black January389.
Extract from an interview with Anatoly Fedorenko, the author of the book Black January who lives in Ukraine and is an eyewitness of the bloody events of January 1990 in Baku: With my hand on Quran, I swore an oath by Allah to politically revenge the terrorists whatever it took. In a short while, we will be mounting an action against Gorbachev. My comrades are conducting an investigation that has preliminarily revealed that Mikhail Sergeyevich Gorbachev was recruited in 1979 by Maukamyan, a resident agent of Armenian origin of the American special services. It was him who coaxed Gorbachev into further collaboration. Gorbachev was given an instruction on how to cause the collapse of the Soviet Union in disguise of the Perestroika; in fact, he was perpetrating a series of terrorist acts against the ordinary and peaceful people. In 1990, Azerbaijan saw events that later came to be called as Black January.390
The figures of the Azerbaijani establishment can be diagnosed with a clear case of cause and effect disruption. Fully aware of grave domestic problems faced by their country, they are concerned with finding out if such problems were brought about by an Armenian or the fact that Armenians might learn and spread the word of their problems.
In his statement delivered on the Solidarity for Karabakh forum held in Baku, the journalist Azer Hasrat exhorted his colleagues to stop their criticism of the authorities and their report of Azerbaijan’s domestic problems as Armenian specialists were reading and re-circulating that information.
I have started my speech with a phrase: “Watch out! We’re being overheard. After that, I said that statements pronounced in this room and appearing in the Azerbaijani press are very closely followed in Armenia. Armenians draw from our newspapers all negative opinions about our army or country, translate and disseminate them across the world because this serves their interests. Therefore, we must be careful in our statements. Such meetings cannot be used to air grievances in respect of high-ranking officials and the president”, reports the Azerbaijani journalist.391
Attempts to explain Azerbaijan’s ongoing destructive processes by external forces are quite clear. Here, a protective mechanism is activated representing an instinctive process intended to minimize negative experiences. The existence of the problem itself is already a source of such experiences, while realizing own guilt and the onus it carries represent a factor that multiplies negative sentiments and exacerbates the oppressed minds.
