In the documents of the US State Department published by the
`WikiLeaks' still appear new disgraceful expressions left behind the
political veil and interpretations made by the Azerbaijani President
Ilham Aliev.
Unprompted by U/S Burns, Aliyev spelled out the reasons Azerbaijan
decided to sell gas to Russia last year, noting that ""Moscow had
asked" and offered a good price for gas that was surplus anyway. But
the real reason, Aliyev confided, was that the sale illustrated to
"our Turkish friends" that they will not be allowed to create a gas
distribution hub. "Aliyev made clear his distaste for the Erdogan
government in Turkey, underscoring the "naivete" of their foreign
policy and the failure of their initiatives, including the loss of
support for Turkey among traditional international friends because of
Ankara,s hostility to Israel. He noted that in his view, there had
never been any merit to the notion of a "moderate Islamist" government
in Turkey, and that Erdogan,s insistence on promoting Hamas and Gaza)
when other Arab countries were notably silent on these issues) had
brought Turkey no benefits.
