Monday,November 29, 2010
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.
Aliyev said that he considers Medvedev "a modern, new-generation
intellectual," surrounded by people whom he does not control. He said
that he has personally witnessed Medvedev taking decisions that then
required further approval before they were implemented, referring
specifically to a border demarcation agreement that he had agreed with
Medvedev only to have it stymied by "others," presumably in the prime
ministerial office. He added, "Many high-ranking officials don't
recognize (Medvedev) as a leader." He said that there are signs of a
strong confrontation between the teams of the two men, although not
yet between Putin and Medvedev personally. "We have a saying in Azeri,
'Two heads cannot be boiled in one pot'" (crude street slang
suggesting that two leaders are spoiling for a fight).
