YEREVAN, FEBRUARY 6, ARMENPRESS: Employees of the Ministry of Economic
Development of Azerbaijan are forced to put "Like" to the official
website of the President of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev in the social
network of Facebook in order to make him President for the third
time, said senior official of the ministry in the interview with the
newspaper '~QAzadlyg'~R.
As reports Armenpress, everyone who has put "like" to Facebook page of
Ilham Aliyev is obliged to report to the Department of the Ministry
of Internal Control. The latter, in the general list, puts a tick
next to the name of the one who has "liked". As a proof the ministry
official opens his personal Facebook page and demonstrates the "like".
According to the source, similar situation exists in other governmental
institutions as well. "We were told that this is an instruction "from
above." The aim is clear; everything is designed for the electoral
frauds. That is, as soon as the results of the vote will be falsified,
a campaign of "Likes" will start and they will show international
organizations that the president has electoral support even in the
Facebook," the source stated.
The newspaper reminds that this is not the first case of governmental
interference in the vote in the Internet. Recently, a vote on
presidential candidates' popularity was held in the Facebook. In the
result of the vote the supporters of the candidate of the Popular
Front Party of Azerbaijan Ali Kerimli found out that on weekends
people almost do not vote for Ilham Aliyev, but on the workdays, the
amount of votes increase dramatically. After some time it turned out
that the leaders of the budget organizations force their employees
to vote for the current president, Ilham Aliyev.
