On the occasion of the 20th anniversary of Azerbaijan's Independence,
President Ilham Aliyev issued a decree to confer awards on a range
of people, none of which had connection with the liberation fight or
was a prominent individual. Aliyev even did not want to confer awards
on MPs who had proclaimed independence. It is not clear what is the
merit of these people before Azerbaijan, because they were given
third class Order for Service to Homeland and Tereggy, Azadlig reports.
The source says that one of the awardees, Gambar Gurbanov is the father
of Azeroilservice head Javid Gurbanov, he was the First Secretary of
the Gedabek region under the Soviet Union and has nothing to do with
the fight for independence. The list also includes Chief Physician
of Hospital No.4 Firket Zeynalov who is the brother of the Head of
State Traffic Police Department, Police Major General Ramiz Zeynalov,
who also has dubious merit in achieving independence.
Mariam Gasanova, member of the ruling Yeni Azerbaijan party, in no way
connected with fight for independence of Azerbaijan, was also awarded
by the President. "These facts testify that the list of awardees took
into consideration their merits not before Azerbaijan but before the
Aliyev clan," the newspaper said.
