Heydar Aliyev is said to be canonized in Azerbaijan. Eventually, in
the course of time the Aliyev family will be declared "holy
family". I remember a meeting with a prominent member of the
Azerbaijani opposition Rasul Guliyev, ex-speaker of Azerbaijan,
political emigrant, legitimate millionaire and sponsor of many
political parties in Azerbaijan. The meeting was in Washington, at
Johns Hopkins University, and was organized by Charles Fairbanks,
then-Director of Central Asia-Caucasus Institute at Johns Hopkins
University. Rasul Guliyev was known to be looking for contacts with
Armenian organizations in the U.S., and at that time he came from New
York to meet with an Armenian organization in Washington. He asked
me, "You used to live in Baku. What do you think about Heydar
Aliyev? It is interesting to know the opinion of an Armenian expert
who knows the truth about Azerbaijan at different stages of H.
Aliyev's activities." I answered, "Whatever Heydar Aliyev has ever
done was complete trickery. He tried to mislead his leadership at KGB
about "outstanding" achievements with regards to Iran and Iraqi
Kurdistan. He created a fake economy during Brezhnev's tenure. He
set up a false social-cultural model in Azerbaijan. Actually, he
misled the Azerbaijani people by promises of military success in the
Karabakh war. He presented international oil projects as a means of
resolving the Karabakh issue and achieving prosperity." R. Guliev
was very excited and begged not to use these opinions in
publications, as he himself would like to use those thoughts.
According to him, he had just heard what he had always felt but could
not utter it in such a laconic way." I never learned whether Guliyev
used these "theses". But Heydar Aliyev has always used the method
of misleading everyone all through his tenure. The peak of this
family business called trickery will be the "combat readiness" of
the armed forces of Azerbaijan. All that is left for Azeri people is
to believe that pilgrimage to Heydar- Hadrat tomb will cure illnesses
and will bring them prosperity.
