    RUSSIANS ACTIVATED IN AZERBAIJAN

    Moscow came to the conclusion that it is hopeless to build relations
    with Azerbaijan through "slight" flirting. Azerbaijan has other
    prospects and it is convinced that Russia is unable to resolve its
    issues. The leadership of Azerbaijan is perplexed since it has run
    into a deadlock, including several foreign directions.

    It seems that especially under these conditions Baku may return to the
    Russian scenarios but the issue is that these scenarios are exhausted
    and harm the relations with the West, without which this state union
    can't go on. Under these conditions, the Russians, as before, try to
    use means of internal split but this time a more serious signal about
    the activation of the Lezgian and Talysh issues in Azerbaijan came.

    At the same time, during the past 20 years the Russians have defamed
    themselves and their policy in the eyes of the peoples of the Eastern
    Caucasus, in particular Lezgian and Avar that it is very difficult to
    go back to these topics. The main negative factor is that there are
    not enough qualified professionals in Moscow who are able to propose
    ideas and do political planning. The specialists of the Institute of
    Oriental Studies are offended by the neglect of the state towards them
    so they treated these issues in a very restricted way. They don't see
    their place and role in these spheres of activities. They are currently
    told that they need to work on these issues only in accordance with the
    salary they get. The Federal Security Service has so few specialists
    that it is unable to coordinate this work at a high level.

    Unlike the Russians, the Americans, for example, first of all invest
    intellectual resources in such projects.

    At the same time, the search for partners by non-academic research
    centers of Moscow is fruitless. During 20 years, they have not formed
    anyone but only grant eaters and tattlers. Currently, the Russians
    avoid involving in the project development specialists from Dagestan
    which shows the inadequacy of the Russian politics.

    Apparently, however, the question is asked quite clearly, and it is
    necessary to perform the task.

    Azerbaijan, too, is not sitting in an attitude of waiting. In Moscow
    and in Europe there are attempts to bribe information tools to block
    Lezgian and Talysh topics. For this purpose, Azerbaijan already has
    the information resources in Russia and is trying to get opportunities
    in Europe.

    However, Talysh and Lezgian issues have become very sharp and readable
    and now, without these topics, the Caucasian information area becomes
    boring. It is quite clear that it is impossible to block these topics
    in the media. More successful are Azerbaijan's attempt to bribe some
    representatives of the Lezgian and Talysh communities but according to
    activists of these ethno-political movements, those who were tempted
    by Azeri money started feeling very uncomfortable.

    There are indications that soon Europe's "interest" in the Talysh
    and Lezgian topics will grow for certain reasons, including those of
    geo-political nature.

    The main thing is that in the arena of these topics, competition is
    consistently formed and their place and role in international politics
    are being sought for.
