Azerbaijani-Americans for Democracy (AZAD) has sent a new letter on
November 27 to the government of Mexico City, supporting the decision
of the committee of Mexican intellectuals that the giant bronze statue
of the Azerbaijani dictator Heydar Aliyev be removed from the city's
public park,
In his letter, AZAD's chairman Elmar Chakhtakhtinski says that he was
"dismayed" by the Azerbaijani government's response to the Mexico
City committee's removal recommendation. The Azerbaijani authorities
publicly threatened Mexico with closing down the Azerbaijani embassy
there and canceling oil industry investments. The letter calls these
threats "bullying tactics" and expresses hope that the Mexican side
will not allow the Azerbaijani regime to dictate the residents of
Mexico City what they can do in their own parks.
The letter identifies Heydar Aliyev an "enemy of democracy" responsible
for human rights violations and says those who value freedom will
appreciate "a speedy removal of this statue from your beautiful city".
This is the second letter from AZAD to the Mexico City officials. The
letter was sent on October 3rd, Azeri Report writes.
