TURKISH PUBLIC SAYS ALIYEV THREATENS REGIONAL PEACE
November 21, 2012 - 16:45 AMT
PanARMENIAN.Net - It's no secret that the concept "one nation with
two states" is meaningful only for Baku, the latter treating Ankara
as its big brother. Despite this, Turkey queens it over Azerbaijanis
and is unlikely to make any sacrifices.
Turkish citizens' reaction to Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev's
cynical statements on Armenia can be brought as a proof.
Aliyev earlier dubbed "Armenia a country of no value, a colony,
an outpost run from abroad." Moreover he called Armenia "territory
artificially created on ancient Azerbaijani lands." "Azerbaijan grows
stronger and more powerful with every passing year, while Armenia
weakens and declines every year," Azeri leader said.
Meanwhile, Turkish readers' reaction to Aliyev's remarks surprised
Baku.
"Not very statesmanlike behavior. His dad was a smart man, but Ilham
did not get any of his tact and diplomacy and he is dragging Turkey
down with him," a Hurriyet Daily News reader commented on Aliyev's
statement.
"This guy is nothing but a threat to the regional peace. Don't
forget that he is responsible for the failure of Armenian-Turkish
rapprochement," another comment reads.
Another Turkish reader posted the following comment, "With oil
declining 8% again this year in Azerbaijan, hysteria is the only way
Aliyev can maintain power. Most industry analysts agree that Azeri
oil output picked about 3 years ago and oil production will decline
every year. Yes, oil made lots of money for some Azeris, but most of
the regular population still lives in poverty. Not saying that Armenia
is paradise on earth, but regular Azeris have just as much problems
as Armenians do." Armenian National Assembly vice speaker Eduard
Sharmazanov dubbed Aliyev "totalitarian leader of a totalitarian
country." "Aliyev shows by his cynical remarks that there are still
supporters of fascism in the 21st century, and that this ideology
flourishes thanks to leaders like him," parliament vice speaker said,
adding that Aliyev's statement is reminiscent of the 1930s-1940s and
Nazi leader Adolf Hitler," he told a PanARMENIAN.Net reporter.
