After Ilham Aliyev accused bluntly the British Petroleum of not
extracting enough oil and causing harm to Azerbaijan and Aliyev's
pockets, another civil-political fight started in the country.
On these days, a video featuring a member of the Azerbaijani
parliament selling her seat in parliament for 1 million dollars was
made public. The video caused reactions within the Azerbaijani youth
organizations and they decided to hold an unauthorized rally.
As a result, ten demonstrators demanding to disband the parliament of
Azerbaijan were detained and sentenced to 7 to 10 days in prison. Over
110 demonstrators have been detained.
It is noteworthy that everything started with Aliyev's accusations
against British Petroleum after which the press reported that either
oil is ending in Azerbaijan or the Western centers decided to change
Aliyev. Anyway, Aliyev had to have a serious reason to issue such a
strict statement addressed to his investors.
Judging by the opposition movement, there is really a decision to
dismiss Aliyev's regime. It is not ruled out that it is determined
by the admirable tenacity with which Aliyev refuses to open regional
routes of communication without the settlement of the Karabakh issue.
Even the statement by Russia, France and the U.S. didn't "convince"
Aliyev to allow opening of the airport of Stepanakert.
Aliyev has become an obstacle on the way of world centers which
benefit from the opening of the South Caucasian communications.
Everyone is interested, including Turkey, Russia which proposed
restoring the Abkhazian railway and the Western countries which do not
hide their wish to involve Armenia in regional infrastructures. Only
Aliyev disagrees and when he is against everyone, British Petroleum
starts digging less oil, thus paying less tax, at the same time
financing human rights activists and the opposition. Now we just need
to wait to see when Turkey will refuse Aliyev's services. Just like
it was the first to call to eliminate Kaddafi, Assad and other old
friends of it.
