    YEREVAN, FEBRUARY 15, ARMENPRESS: Azerbaijan distracts its nation from
    the problems facing the country like poverty and a lack of potable
    drinking water by focusing on the shared enemy that is Armenia. As
    reports Armenpress, this was noted by outstanding The New York Times
    daily.

    Last weekend, the New York Times published article of Peter Savodnik.
    The story, about Baku's ambition to become a new hub for the global 1
    percent, focuses on Khazar Islands, a $100 billion megadevelopment
    being built on the Caspian. Author has referred to the statement of
    Ibrahim Ibrahimov, who noted that Armenians could not buy there.

    `On one level, if Baku has any shot at becoming the city it wants to
    be, there are going to be Armenians there. Anyway, Armenians are
    scheduled to compete in the 2015 European Games, which Baku is
    hosting. If Baku's bid for the 2024 Olympic Games prevails, there will
    probably be Armenians there, too. There will be Armenian race-car
    drivers who compete at the Formula One race track planned for Khazar
    Islands, and there will be Armenian musicians who play at its symphony
    hall, and there will probably be Armenian investors who see the value
    in building a big, flashy development on the Caspian. Kim Kardashian
    may even swing through to promote her new line of pumps or clutches or
    skin scents or whatever. This is on top of the 30,000 Armenians,
    according to Kenan Guluzade, the former head of marketing for Khazar
    Islands, who live in Baku,' Savodnik writes. So author of the article
    reaches the conclusion that Baku will have to host Armenians.
