TODAY'S REALITY OF AZERBAIJAN, GEORGIA AND ARMENIA
What developments have there been and are there expected in the Caucasus?
This question will be discussed in Armenia for two days by the experts from
Georgia, Azerbaijan, Russia, and Turkey who work in Armenia.
Although International conference organized by the Mass Media Caucasian
Institute is titled `Caucasus-2004', the reporters preferred also to refer
to the present state in the Caucasian countries.
AFTER HEIDAR ALIEV, ILHAM ALIEV IS NOT ACCEPTED
The report `Azerbaijan under Ilham Aliev' was represented by the head of the
Peace and Democracy Institute Conflict and Migration Department Arif
Junusov. According to his presentation, in Azerbaijan everyone has realized
the weakness of Heidar Aliev's son, and the state is being oligarchized.
At present the coming Parliamentary elections are dangerous for the
stability of Azerbaijan. According to Arif Junusov, it has been decided in
the Azerbaijani authorized rings that in the new Parliament the majority
will be formed by the pro-western powers oppositional to Aliev, the true
governing of the country will be realized by the head of the Azerbaijani
President working group, and Ilham Aliev will play the role of the Queen of
England.
By the way, in Azerbaijan there are already two youth organizations, which
have been created by the example of the Georgian `Qmara' and Ukrainian
`Pora'. The name of one of the organizations is even the translation of the
Ukrainian `Pora'. The aim of the 7 groups of oligarchs, who are in conflict
with the present Azerbaijani authorities, is to de-stabilize the situation
by all possible means. The result of these actions was the murder of the
chief editor of the newspaper `Monitor', the caption of the Azerbaijani
International Bank President's wife.
Especially the latter is a warning for Aliev as everyone knows that
non-officially the above mentioned bank belongs to Aliev. According to Arif
Junusov, in Azerbaijan there are already two lists. The first is the list of
those the murder of which will de-stabilize the situation and the second -
those who are already provided a place in the new Parliament. And the acting
President Ilham Aliev does not have his group as for the supporters of
Heidar Aliev Ilham Aliev is not acceptable.
Ilham Aliev's weakness is also proved by the fact that according to
non-official facts today in Azerbaijan there are 400 thousand unemployed
people. Today Arif Junusov made public another interesting fact. The
Azerbaijani Milli Mejlis has lately passed a decision according to which
military bases of foreign countries are forbidden in Azerbaijan. In order
not to violate the mentioned law, it is announced throughout the whole world
that in Azerbaijan there are small military bases of America. `De facto
there are American military bases in Azerbaijan, only making them de jure is
left', mentioned Arif Junusov, who found it difficult to foresee what
developments there will be after the Parliamentary elections.
