Monument to Heydar Aliyev which was installed in one of the central
parks of Mexico City in August 2012 caused bewilderment among the
residents. Azerbaijan has spent about $ 5 million on the reconstruction
of two parks in Mexico City, after which it was allowed to install a
monument there. Several protests were held in the capital of Mexico
during which the participants claimed they did not want to see the
statue of a dictator, who had ruled thousands of miles away from
their country, next to the monuments of their heroes.
As a result, the special commission recommended that the authorities of
Mexico deinstalled the statue of former Azerbaijani President Heydar
Aliyev, noting that the government made a mistake by taking money
and allowing the foreign government to decide which political and
historical figures should be honored publically in the Mexican capital.
In mid-January, Foreign Ministry of Mexico has given absolute freedom
to the government of Mexico to make up a decision concerning the
controversial statue of Aliyev. In his turn, the Azerbaijani Ambassador
to Mexico Ilgar Mukhtarov told that the Embassy has decided to appeal
to international organizations for the solution of the problem. The
Legislative Assembly of Mexico addressed to the government of Mexico
with a call to dismantle the statue. In late January, the monument
was dismantled and taken to a warehouse.
