of ``Vesti.az'' distorted his interview

"Recently, I ran again into a brilliant Azerbaijani journalism. These
last years I try not to give them an interview, because it seems that
there is absolutely no media left there any longer that is not buckled
under Aliyev's administration. I am not on the way with these guys;
they stub writers, oppositionist bloggers in a daylight, and lead the
people into a savage, bestial hatred towards Armenians - all the media
are busy by this all the time," said famous Azerbaijani writer Eduard
Bagirov, in an article published on the portal `litprom.ru.'
The writer noted that Vugar Hasanov from "Vesti.az" news agency was
polite, courteous and helpful, and Bagirov gave him an interview.
"Interview, or rather to say the staff that he made of it, came out on
October 2. Here I should mention that my written (and it was only in a
written form, all sorts of jingles "interruptions" and other heresy is
sucked from the finger by himself) interviews need no future handling,
and moreover cutting something out. But of course, they could not
allow an adequate interview of a man who recognizes that the genocide
of the Armenians was genocide. And tried to make an audible fool out
of me, while they themselves are fools," Bagirov says, noting that he
had to spend time and publish the original version of that interview.
When comparing the original interview and the interview that was
published after "handling" by the news agencies "Vesti.az" it becomes
clear that some of E. Bagirov's answers have been changed, as well as
the questions of the correspondent. Thus to the question "You are
considered a scandalous person, aggressive man. What do you thing in
this concern about yourself?" journalist of the Azerbaijani news
agency wrote a note "interrupting": "(Interrupting) ... I do not care
what they think of me. I am a successful writer and screenwriter, the
rest does not matter. Not to mention the fact that my personal life
and, even more, this or that features of my character are nobody's
business."
In an interview Bagirov had stated that Azerbaijan and Armenia are
great, beautiful countries with beautiful nature and climatic
conditions, and any normal government should firstly be concerned not
with the thought of how to kill everyone quickly but on the contrary;
he should think of his people who should live a long and quiet life,
while they still continue dying now.
E. Bagirov reconfirmed that he recognizes the Armenian Genocide
carried out in the Ottoman Empire, noting that when hundreds of
thousands of people, including the elderly, women and children are
killed simply because of their nationality, it is genocide.
Writer's words, that he would like Armenians and Azerbaijanis stop
killing each other, and that it is quite intelligible and adequate
desire, were also presented partially and modifications. All the
interviews of Eduard Bagirov have been "processed" in a similar way.
