NEW CONTRADICTIONS BETWEEN MEXICO AND AZERBAIJAN
20:41, 6 February, 2013
YEREVAN, FEBRUARY 6, ARMENPRESS: In the Mexican state of Guerrero
new conflict is brewing with government of Azerbaijan similar to the
conflict concerning the monument of Heydar Aliyev in Mexico City.
Armenpress reports referring to Mexican news agency Animal Politico.
According to documents the "Animal Politico" holds, the Guerrero
Governor Angel Aguirre agreed to install famous Azerbaijani poet
Nizami Gyanjev's monument in Acapulco. It says that it is stated in
the letter signed by the Ambassador of Azerbaijan Ilgar Muhtarov on
May 17, in 2012.
Monument to Heydar Aliyev which was installed in one of the central
parks of Mexico City in August 2012 was removed by the decision of
the city authorities in late January. 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.
Azerbaijan thinks Nizami Gyanjev is an Azeri poet, while Iran states
he is a classic Iranian poet.
"Nizami Gyanjev was born in a city, which once used to be part of
Iran. Such falsifications speak about the poorness of Azerbaijani
culture,"Javad Adabi, Head of Iran's Cultural Heritage Organization,
noted in interview with IRNA.
Azerbaijan has unveiled a monument to Nizami Ganjavi in Rome recently.
Earlier, referring to the fact of Azerbaijan giving a monument
to Nizami Ganjavi to Rome, Iranian Deputy Minister of Culture and
Islamic Guidance Bahman Dari said to Iran's state-run news agency IRNA,
"The existing facts prove that Nizami Ganjavi is an Iranian poet, and
there is no need to prove it. It is just unbecoming to misappropriate
cultural values of another country. Azerbaijan has no cultural values
and therefore it has to misappropriate cultural values of others. This
move of Azerbaijan can be called nothing else than a cultural theft".
