Azerbaijan's ruling power rewrites the modern history of the country,
particularly "editing" quotations by Heydar Baba. Quotations by
Heydar Aliyev to artificially change the demographic situation in
Nagorno-Karabakh during Soviet era in favor to Azerbaijan are being
removed from the Web.
After the "electronic resources were updated", statements by the late
President of Azerbaijan considered "inconvenient" for the current
course of state propaganda, have disappeared from the presidential
library.
However, the original of the quotation by Heydar Aliyev has been
kept in newspaper Echo of July 24, 2002, No.138 (383) (Screenshot)
and in other sources.
"Nagorno-Karabakh problem appeared in 1988. This is not a new problem,
that is to say this is an acute conflict. But this problem lasts
from the beginning of the 20th century...The things were not normal,
either, in the Soviet period...However, despite that, we controlled
the situation in Nagorno-Karabakh. At the expense of what? First,
certainly, the Soviet system made that possible.
Second, I mean the period when I was first secretary and was assisting
the development of Nagorno-Karabakh. At the same time I tried to change
the demography there. Nagorno-Karabakh raised the issue of opening an
institute, higher education institution. Everybody objected to this
in our country. Thinking it over, I decided to open an institute,
provided that there should be three sectors - Azerbaijani, Russian
and Armenian. The institute was opened. We were sending Azerbaijanis
from the neighboring regions to that institute, not to Baku. We opened
a big shoe factory there. There was no manpower in Stepanakert. We
sent Azerbaijanis there from neighboring settlements.
I was making these and other moves in a bid to increase the number
of Azerbaijanis in Nagorno-Karabakh and to reduce the number of
Armenians. Those who worked in Nagorno-Karabakh at that time are
aware of it. In any event, thanks to my willpower and other traits, my
word was law for its leadership," Azerbaijani President Heydar Aliyev
stated on July 22, 2002, in a meeting with Azerbaijani journalists.
