BAKU. October 14, 2012. The scandal with the former leading member
of Azerbaijani parliament from ruling YAP party Gular Ahmadova seems
to be growing. She was shown on a hidden cam video recently posted
online asking for a million dollar bribe for securing someone a seat
in parliament. The second video on the same subject, has her making
statements that directly implicate President Ilham Aliyev, his wife
Mehriban Aliyeva, head of presidential administration Ramiz Mehdiyev
and other high officials in election fraud and bribery scheme. Now Ms.
Ahmadova has appealed to President Ilham Aliyev asking to protect
her from the attacks by her party members. She placed a call to
the President on her page on Facebook in a message that can only be
described as a threat of blackmail against her fellow ruling party
leaders.
Ahmadova recalls that after the recording of her conversation with the
former Rector Elshad Abdullayev and start of the criminal proceedings
in that regard, she voluntarily gave up the parliamentary mandate to
help avoid problems for the investigation. "After that, I promised
not to make any statement to the media and the public. However,
subsequent observations have shown that some of my colleagues began to
pour insults, slander and fabrications. Every day I began to receive
insults addressed to me. Thus, these people hinder the investigation
and try to steer it in the wrong direction," writes Ahmadova.
She stated that she would not continue to tolerate it and also
threatens to "start talking." "I will not tolerate insults to my
address, and appeal to these people and say, do not do it so that
I have to open my mouth. If I speak, those who waters insults on me
will greatly regret it," warned Ahmadova.
"In conclusion, Mr. President, I am turning to you, saying that the
investigation of the criminal case, which is under your control,
has not completed yet, but members of the party led by you speak with
offensive statements about me and threaten me with expelling me from
my own party. I'm not an MP now. As a woman and mother, I ask you
to protect me and my family from the physical and moral repression,"
Ahmadova wrote.
Two days ago, Ahmadova on her page on Facebook also posted a message
making fun of those who in the early days toughly condemned her
actions, and then had to shut up. Many saw this as a response to
an attack against Gular Ahmadova by the executive secretary of the
ruling party New Azerbaijan Ali Ahmadov (no family relation to Gular
Ahmadova).
Ali Ahmadov and other senior functionaries of the ruling party were
behind the drive to excludet Gular Ahmadova the YAP party, and some
of them demanded her arrest. (Turan)
