20:59 23/10/2013 " REGION
The point of domestic and foreign policy of the Azerbaijani authorities
is to plunder the country with impunity and to not one share with
anyone, said Zardusht Alizadeh, a famous Azerbaijani political
scientist in an interview given to "Minval.az".
Responding to a question, how will develop Azerbaijan its relations
with the West and with Russia during the next five years of Ilham
Aliyev's presidency, the political scientist said that foreign policy
is the continuation of the internal one.
"What is the point of this policy of Azerbaijan? The point is that
the elite groups are engaged in the privatization of oil, gas, budget,
corruption revenues. This is the main purpose of their existence and
operation. For the smooth implementation of this internal policy,
the government is suitably carrying out a foreign policy which, will
first provide the so-called absolute sovereignty of Azerbaijan, that
is the irregularity of international law and the commitments which
our country undertook, which would have prevented the current elite
to steal," he said.
According to Alizadeh, that is why the Azerbaijani authorities to raise
the flag of the Republic, celebrate the Flag Day, educate people in
a spirit of loyalty to sovereignty. "As if the sovereignty does not
refer to Karabakh, to the enforcement of the law, and only refers to
the fact that he could threaten all foreign countries with finger,"
he said, noting that the policy of the authorities is directed at
breaking the processes of globalization and European integration,
as far as it would hinder them from robbing Azerbaijan.
Touching upon the relations with Russia, the political scientist
stated that in his time "the noble Khan" Heydar Aliyev has built
relationship with that country, which would limit the interference
of Kremlin in the affairs of Azerbaijan. "They should pay for it. He
paid with Karabakh. And the rest was his hierarchy, saying that,
do not interfere in the internal affairs," Alizadeh said, noting
that Azerbaijan had become Heydar Aliyev's estate, which he ran as
he wanted.
According to Alizadeh, Heydar Aliyev has "given" Karabakh, getting in
return the rest of the Azerbaijan along with oil and gas. Political
scientist noted that Azerbaijan will not join the Eurasian Union as the
sense of the policy of government is in the fact of not sharing with
anyone. "We have no desire to go with Russia. We are here, while there
a Russian oligarch will come out and will require a share," he said.
Answering the question why Azerbaijan has not developed very good
relations with Turkey Aliade noted that Turkey wanted to get deeper
into the affairs of Azerbaijan. "Especially into the oil affairs. And
our government hit them on their hands, saying that they should
not hanker for the holy lakes. That's why today we have such a cool
friendship with Turkey. Keep distance - we are keeping a distance
with all the countries in order to let the authorities to plunder
Azerbaijan with impunity. In politics this is their main purpose of
existence," stated the political scientist.
"The Azerbaijani authorities protect their right to be the owners of
their independent territory and wealth. Therefore, it is not going
to be at war with anyone, including quarrels with Armenia. The gave
a word - they gave Karabakh and took Baku. As they say, a man should
keep his word. He will tell stories to the people while being engage
in parallel development of means. And this is the most important. In
this case, the European orientation is disadvantageous. Europe will
require us to be transparent and honest. And it's uncomfortable for
the authorities. At the house of a hanged no one talks of rope,"
the expert thisnk.
Alizadeh stated that Russia is dangerous for the government of
Azerbaijan since it wants to "enter" into the republic and take a fair
share of revenues. "It is also dangerous with Iran: there specific
ideological direction, based on the idea of social justice. Therefore,
Islam is dangerous too. Thus recipe that our nation is being fed is
simple: the national leader and his dear successor," he said.
Answering the question what has the closed and hasty inauguration of
President Aliyev been connected with, the political scientist said that
Azerbaijan has become financially quite independent. "The authorities
at present behave themselves like Le Bourgeois Gentilhomme. Have
capitals. They openly say that they own finances and due to this do
not depend on anyone. That's why they do not take into account the
views of the West and the ruleof the people calmly," he said.
However, according to Alizadeh there is no confrontation between the
West and Azerbaijan. "For some reason we dramatize the situation. For
the West, Azerbaijan is somewhere in the 99th place, and maybe on
the 200th. The West has a lot of problems. And they are not concerned
with Azerbaijan", he said.
