Erdogan, Aliyev Pledge to Lie for Each Other on the World Stage

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan is met by his Azerbaijani counterpart Ilham Aliyev upon arriving in Baku

BY ARA KHACHATOURIAN

BAKU—What better way for two leaders to reinforce their alliance than by pledging to lie for one another on the international arena?

That’s what happened Tuesday when newly-minted Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan arrived in Baku and said that Turkish-Armenian relations would not be normalized until a resolution to the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict that would be beneficial for Azerbaijan, further pledging to work toward the goal of pressuring Armenia to return territories it claims Armenia is occupying.

In turn, Erdogan’s Azerbaijani counterpart Ilham Aliyev said that he would work with Turkey to counter “Armenian lies” regarding the Armenian Genocide.

“Turkey and Azerbaijan will jointly counter the lie about the genocide of Armenians,” Aliyev told journalists after his meeting with Erdogan. “We will be coordinating our efforts to expose the fictional Armenian genocide. Our non-governmental and Diaspora organizations will be acting together.”

Calling Turkey and Azerbaijan “two nations from one stem”—two peas in a pod—Erdogan stressed that Azerbaijan’s rights should be taken into consideration when discussing a resolution to the Karabakh conflict.

He reassured Aliyev that “if the conflict between Azerbaijan and Armenia is resolved, then the problems between Turkey and Armenia will also be solved.”

Erdogan said that “Turkey is ready to show determination on this issue” and promised to raise his perspectives on the Karabakh issue during the upcoming NATO summit in Wales.

This all comes a day after Turkey’s new prime-minister, Ahmet Davutoglu, put forth his government’s program, in which he reiterated the Erdogan’s statements about Karabakh and urged Armenians to not become “hostage to history.”

“We’ll also continue efforts to improve ties with Armenia in hopes that Yerevan will be guided by mutual interest for cooperation and search for ‘just memory,’ rather than historical hatred,” said Davutoglu.

This newly-cemented fraternalism between Turkey and Azerbaijan reinforces that both parties intend to continue their denial and hatred toward Armenians, and with one promising to do the other’s dirty work, it’s a sure bet that new “just” memories will be created.

    I think that there will be serious questions asked from Turkey by her “allies”when in Wales. Europe and America are waking up bit by bit to realise Turkey,s role in supporting and arming Isis . As for them lying, this is their modus operandi vut shame on those who believe!

    …..“if the conflict between Azerbaijan and Armenia is resolved, then the problems between Turkey and Armenia will also be solved.” …. How can these 2 trust each other if they lie to each other?. to solve the Turkey and Armenia problem, Turkey 1st. should respect the Woodraw Wllsons arbitrated borders, return all land and properties looted from Armenians, solving the Nagorno-Karabagh problem will not be enough, Erdogan knows it, Aliyev knows it.

    This is a perfect union of two criminal states, one illegal and the other artificial. They are using one another to our detriment because they have realized individually they are quite ineffective against us. The Turks are using the helpless and demoralized Azerbaijanis against us to pump up their hollow egos and the Azerbaijanis are using the Turks to give an empty glimmer of hope to their defeated nation that they are not alone and have a friend they can count on.

    What’s missing from the true intention of this union is the fact that Turkey is taking advantage of the Azerbaijani humiliation and defeat at the hands of the Armenians to get badly-needed oil at dirt cheap prices as well as using the perfect opportunity to try to punish the Armenians, through various means such as illegal border closings, for their relentless worldwide pursuit of the Armenian Genocide recognition.

    As they claim, these are not “two nations, one state” but “two illegal and artificial states, one common enemy” and the common enemy being the Armenians. They have nothing in common despite what they claim and their peoples were strangers to each other up until when the Soviet Union dissolved in 1991.

    The best way to describe the FAKE kinship between these two illiterate and nomadic nations is to say: The enemy of my enemy is my friend. They really must feel helpless on their own against us to have come to such criminal union. What I think we should take away from this article is that these people will never change, they are no different from the criminal predecessors, they can never be trusted and their intention today is no different from the intention of their ancestors: Creation of their Turkic empire, or the land of Turan, which is to say Armenia without the Armenians. We must fight them even harder and with much more resolve and pull no punches.

    Why is it that the western world is constantly burdened with the Hitler boogey man propaganda when the 3rd Reich was destroyed and no longer poses a threat to anyone in the world as it is merley a ghost, yet we have these 2 sons of Satan that are a literal continuity of the original threat to mankind known as “The Turk”. This unique specie of subhuman devils are of the most wicked genetics a bastardized 2 legged creature has ever produced. The Geographical Terrorist threat that makes the news daily is a natural organic outgrowth of Turkishness and this is an absolute truth. These 2 alien elements known as Turkic states not only fund recruit train and support the terrorists Turks are themselves active terrorist members themselves and yet the self righteous world community has produced NO embargo blockades sanctions let alone a justified all out invasion and liberation of these occupied lands under the yolk of Turkish insurgency. It is as if the new world leaders are just a bunch of soulless puppets that thrive on immorality such as turkishness. This wicked deceptive Parasitic Turkocracy is a violation of every established form of human rights by any sophisticated standards with a list as long as my arm of genocides massacres pogroms and all around ethnic cleansing campaigns to satisfy the Turks unique appetite for blood and other peoples treasures, this being unarguable historical fact, there is no righteous excuse possible to justify the lack of world effort to sanitize the map of such filth

    Compliance status

    We firmly believe that the internet should be available and accessible to anyone, and are committed to providing a website that is accessible to the widest possible audience, regardless of circumstance and ability.

    To fulfill this, we aim to adhere as strictly as possible to the World Wide Web Consortium’s (W3C) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1 (WCAG 2.1) at the AA level. These guidelines explain how to make web content accessible to people with a wide array of disabilities. Complying with those guidelines helps us ensure that the website is accessible to all people: blind people, people with motor impairments, visual impairment, cognitive disabilities, and more.

    This website utilizes various technologies that are meant to make it as accessible as possible at all times. We utilize an accessibility interface that allows persons with specific disabilities to adjust the website’s UI (user interface) and design it to their personal needs.

    Additionally, the website utilizes an AI-based application that runs in the background and optimizes its accessibility level constantly. This application remediates the website’s HTML, adapts Its functionality and behavior for screen-readers used by the blind users, and for keyboard functions used by individuals with motor impairments.

    If you’ve found a malfunction or have ideas for improvement, we’ll be happy to hear from you. You can reach out to the website’s operators by using the following email

    Screen-reader and keyboard navigation

    Our website implements the ARIA attributes (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) technique, alongside various different behavioral changes, to ensure blind users visiting with screen-readers are able to read, comprehend, and enjoy the website’s functions. As soon as a user with a screen-reader enters your site, they immediately receive a prompt to enter the Screen-Reader Profile so they can browse and operate your site effectively. Here’s how our website covers some of the most important screen-reader requirements, alongside console screenshots of code examples:

    1. Screen-reader optimization: we run a background process that learns the website’s components from top to bottom, to ensure ongoing compliance even when updating the website. In this process, we provide screen-readers with meaningful data using the ARIA set of attributes. For example, we provide accurate form labels; descriptions for actionable icons (social media icons, search icons, cart icons, etc.); validation guidance for form inputs; element roles such as buttons, menus, modal dialogues (popups), and others. Additionally, the background process scans all of the website’s images and provides an accurate and meaningful image-object-recognition-based description as an ALT (alternate text) tag for images that are not described. It will also extract texts that are embedded within the image, using an OCR (optical character recognition) technology. To turn on screen-reader adjustments at any time, users need only to press the Alt+1 keyboard combination. Screen-reader users also get automatic announcements to turn the Screen-reader mode on as soon as they enter the website.

      These adjustments are compatible with all popular screen readers, including JAWS and NVDA.

    2. Keyboard navigation optimization: The background process also adjusts the website’s HTML, and adds various behaviors using JavaScript code to make the website operable by the keyboard. This includes the ability to navigate the website using the Tab and Shift+Tab keys, operate dropdowns with the arrow keys, close them with Esc, trigger buttons and links using the Enter key, navigate between radio and checkbox elements using the arrow keys, and fill them in with the Spacebar or Enter key.Additionally, keyboard users will find quick-navigation and content-skip menus, available at any time by clicking Alt+1, or as the first elements of the site while navigating with the keyboard. The background process also handles triggered popups by moving the keyboard focus towards them as soon as they appear, and not allow the focus drift outside of it.

      Users can also use shortcuts such as “M” (menus), “H” (headings), “F” (forms), “B” (buttons), and “G” (graphics) to jump to specific elements.

    2. Color adjustments – users can select various color contrast profiles such as light, dark, inverted, and monochrome. Additionally, users can swap color schemes of titles, texts, and backgrounds, with over 7 different coloring options.
    3. Animations – epileptic users can stop all running animations with the click of a button. Animations controlled by the interface include videos, GIFs, and CSS flashing transitions.
    4. Content highlighting – users can choose to emphasize important elements such as links and titles. They can also choose to highlight focused or hovered elements only.
    5. Audio muting – users with hearing devices may experience headaches or other issues due to automatic audio playing. This option lets users mute the entire website instantly.
    6. Cognitive disorders – we utilize a search engine that is linked to Wikipedia and Wiktionary, allowing people with cognitive disorders to decipher meanings of phrases, initials, slang, and others.
    7. Additional functions – we provide users the option to change cursor color and size, use a printing mode, enable a virtual keyboard, and many other functions.

    Browser and assistive technology compatibility

    We aim to support the widest array of browsers and assistive technologies as possible, so our users can choose the best fitting tools for them, with as few limitations as possible. Therefore, we have worked very hard to be able to support all major systems that comprise over 95% of the user market share including Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari, Opera and Microsoft Edge, JAWS and NVDA (screen readers), both for Windows and for MAC users.

    Notes, comments, and feedback

    Despite our very best efforts to allow anybody to adjust the website to their needs, there may still be pages or sections that are not fully accessible, are in the process of becoming accessible, or are lacking an adequate technological solution to make them accessible. Still, we are continually improving our accessibility, adding, updating and improving its options and features, and developing and adopting new technologies. All this is meant to reach the optimal level of accessibility, following technological advancements. For any assistance, please reach out to
