/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Discrepancies proceeding from regionalism in
the Azeri powerful structures are not a secret, Armenian political
scientist Levon Melik-Shahnazaryan told a PanARMENIAN.Net reporter when
commenting on the recent arrests and prosecution of Azeri officials. In
his words, the process was launched by Heydar Aliyev, the first
secretary of the Communist Part Central Committee of Azerbaijan,
who flooded the ruling structures with natives of Nakhichevan. "In
his time Ayaz Mutalibov managed to reduce the number of Nakhichevanis
in the leadership.
However Aliyev coming to power again restored status quo. For his
part Aliyev junior strengthened the positions of Nakhichevanis in the
republic, especially in the middle administration sector. Meanwhile
the positions of "yerazes" protected by disgraced Rasul Ghuliyev were
still strong in Azerbaijan," the political scientist said.
He also remarked that during the recent months the unified clans of
Pashayevs (the kin of first lady Mehriban Aliyeva) and Nakhichevanis
push the "yerazes" out of state posts. "As for the Kurds, they really
take serious positions in Azerbaijan's economy. Almost all of them are
natives of Nakhichevan and are assimilated into the Turkic community,"
Melik-Shahnazaryan said.
