LE MONDE: I. ALIYEV PREVENTS DEMOCRACY IN THE STATE VERY CAREFULLY
http://times.am/?l=en&p=7616
French well-known magazine Le Monde published an article about the
dictatorship in Azerbaijan. As Armenian panorama.am writes Azerbaijani
"Azadlig" has published the whole article by Giyom Perye.
"Eurovision" is the first international meaningful event which young
Azerbaijani Republic hosts. It is a great opportunity for Azerbaijani
President Ilham Aliyev, who leads the country since 2003 with strong
fists, to make a self-propaganda. This small state between Russia and
Iran is rich with natural resources. It now tries to attract European
investors presenting itself as worldly and connected with the modern
values. But in reality there is a wild leadership in Azerbaijan which
took whole natural resources in its hands.
On 2009 Aliyev provided chance for himself to be elected as a President
till the end of his life. Presidential elections in Azerbaijan will
be just formal on 2013. Aliyevs' clan keeps the natural resources of
the state in its hands for already 45 years.
Aliyev now does it jointly with his wife's family. Leader of new
Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev leads the country by his father's cult: Heydar
Aliyev's photos and mottos are on all corners of the state. Every
year on May 10, on H. Aliyev's birthday Flowers' Day is organized
in Azerbaijan and 70 million USD is spent on it. I. Aliyev prevents
democracy in the state very carefully. The international organizations
make accusations towards Azerbaijan after every election.
Parliamentarian elections on 2010 were so falsified that no one
opposition member could appear in the Parliament.
Azerbaijani show as if they have tolerant attitude to the opposition
parties in the country but thousands members of those parties appear
in prisons frequently. The meetings are forbidden here. No word about
human rights protection can be here. There are jailed journalists
in Azerbaijan.
Azerbaijani authorities are afraid Arabic revolutions can be repeated
in their state as well. And that is why hundreds of protestors have
appeared in prisons.
Great countries and European countries as well want to use Azerbaijani
oil and create alternative lines of oil besides Russia. NATO wants
to settle anti-racket systems in Azerbaijan.
"Now Azerbaijani relations are strained with Russia and Iran. And
in this context it tries to become closer to Israel. Some frames do
not like this. Israel claims to settle military base against Iran",
the newspaper writes.
