TOP AZERBAIJANI RULING PARTY OFFICIAL: WE ASSASSINATE ONLY OUR IMPORTANT OPPONENTS
http://azerireport.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=3841&Ite mid=42
BAKU. January 23, 2013. "Who is he, to be assassinated by us? He does
not have such an important statue...". This is what deputy secretary
of Azerbaijan's ruling YAP party and one of the leading members of
national parliament Siyavush Novruzov said about one of the critics
of the Aliyev regime in his interview to APA news service yesterday.
He was responding to the allegations of former president of Federal
National-Cultural Autonomy of Azerbaijanis in Russia "AzerRos",
Soyun Sadigov, who stated that the Azerbaijani authorities intend to
assassinate him. Mr. Sadigov has recently resigned from his post as
the leader of "AzerRos", so that he can concentrate on political
activities. He then directed sharp criticism at Azerbaijan's
ruling Aliyev regime and its policies. Interestingly enough,
the pro-government APA news portal removed Siyavush Novruzov's
interview from its website shortly after posting it, perhaps after
the higher-ups in the Aliyev regime realized the damaging nature
of Mr. Novruzov's statement. The original link to APA's Azerbaijani
language news story on the interview now simply times-out. However,
another news portal FoxNews.az still had the story listed later in
the day. It is not clear whether Mr. Novruzov's comments about Soyun
Sadigov's qualifications for an assassination were a rare burst of
honesty on the part of the Azerbaijani government, a simple gaffe, or
a calculated threat against Mr. Sadigov. Aliyev regime of Azerbaijan
had been frequently accused by rights groups in being responsible
for the murders of journalists, political opponents, key witnesses
in high-profile cases and the deaths of dissidents in police detention.
