  • Moldovan Ombudsman As Mirror Of Azeri Propaganda

    MOLDOVAN OMBUDSMAN AS MIRROR OF AZERI PROPAGANDA

    August 23, 2013 - 18:54 AMT

    PanARMENIAN.Net - The saying "everyone gets what he deserves," fully
    applies to Moldovan Ombudsman Aurelia Grigoriu who was awarded Heydar
    Aliyev medal for her special services to Azerbaijan.

    Her services of Azerbaijan would have been even greater, were she to
    repeat her Yerevan statements in Artsakh Republic, although it would
    be less likely for her to finish her speech there.

    At a June 4 international conference in Yerevan, the Moldovan lawyer
    slammed Armenia as an "aggressor," accusing Armenia of "occupying 20%
    of Azeri territory and committing an ethnic cleansing in Khojalu."

    Factually, Grigoriu repeated Azeri propaganda's favorite fables,
    the ones that are given little trust in the country itself. Grigoriu
    looked very happy with herself while making a statement in Yerevan,
    yet she clearly overplayed her hand.

    According to Azeri media, the medal has been awarded for promoting
    human rights and realities of Azerbaijan in the world, as well as
    in developing relations between Azerbaijan and the Turkic states
    in particular.

    It looks pretty strange, especially since Grigoriu is a Christian and
    it doesn't become her to promote Turkic values. However it's possible
    to understand feelings of the Moldovan Ombudsman once you see her
    Facebook page where she almost declares love for Ilham Aliyev. So,
    as a man, the least Aliyev could do was to award Grigoriu with a medal.

    Occasionally, Grigoriu adds fuel to fire, suggesting Armenian ASALA
    militants are on the hunt for her. How can one explain that ASALA has
    long been inexistent and all of her "fears" are nothing but a cheap PR.

    Also, prosecutions of Moldovan authorities, claimed by Grigoriu,
    have noting in common with Armenia. Yerevan doesn't interfere in the
    affairs of sovereign states, and doesn't allow interference in its
    own affairs. It's surprising that such odious personalities should
    always stand by Aliyev's side.

    The interesting fact is that Grigoriu was nominated for the award of
    the Foundation for Support to Policy of Turkic States at the request
    of Azerbaijani NGOs in Central Asia. What has central Asia to do with
    it? Or was that just Nazarbaev's favor to Aliyev? One can only advise
    Azerbajan that it should be more careful in a search of a mouthpiece.

    Otherwise the whole thing looks pretty unpalatable: a woman who
    never got noticed in her own country becomes the favorite of Azeri
    propagandists. Or she might move to Baku. But will she be needed in
    the city that is paved with the likes of her?
