Comments on: Azerbaijan & The Iranian Nuclear Showdown http://oneworld.blogsome.com/2006/02/13/azerbaijan-the-iranian-nuclear-showdown/ Journalism and Photography from Armenia and the Surrounding Region Sun, 12 Feb 2012 12:06:40 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=1.5.1-alpha by: Freedom / Ազատութիւն http://oneworld.blogsome.com/2006/02/13/azerbaijan-the-iranian-nuclear-showdown/#comment-838 Mon, 13 Feb 2006 22:33:07 +0000 http://oneworld.blogsome.com/2006/02/13/azerbaijan-the-iranian-nuclear-showdown/#comment-838 The Iranian issue is becoming very interesting to say the least. Of course you have probably heard of the militia/resistance(?) group called HezbAllah (Party of God) that is funded and supported by Iran. Armenian parties here have been relatively careful in addressing the issue, although the main party (Tashnagtsutyun) has taken a more or less pro-HezbAllah stance (surely not an ideologically oriented support but a pragmatic one), although no absolute alliance has been forged. In the event of a conflict things would become much more interesting - and most probably deadly here in Lebanon... I really hope the U.S would not rush into this; I know that Israel has been pushing for it, and heck, maybe even Turkey, although I am not sure what Turkey would have to gain from it other than limiting Iran's ability to emerge as a superpower in the region... I'm not so sure if Turkey would really be happy with kindling the fires of a separatist (even if Azerbaijani) movement... The Iranian issue is becoming very interesting to say the least.
