13:14 08/08/2014 >> REGION
In Azerbaijan information has spread that according to Azerbaijani
Defense Minister Zakir Hasanov's decision all the officers must wear
badges on which Heydar Aliyev is depicted, reads Azerbaijani newspaper
"Azadlig".
According to the newspaper, some military experts have confirmed this
information. They believe that it is illegal to wear the emblem of
Heydar Aliyev at the military clothing and make all of the militants
to do that. They should wear only those differential signs, which
are defined by law.
The newspaper notes that such "reforms" in the army carried out by
the Azerbaijani authorities are intended to introduce compulsory cult
of Heydar Aliyev not only in the political arena, but also in other
areas as well. Thus, those who do not like Heydar Aliyev and do not
wear his portrait would be considered enemies of the fatherland.
"It seems that the authorities are no longer satisfied with the parks,
museums, centers, avenues named after Heydar Aliyev. Now Heydar
Aliyev is presented as a militant. Perhaps, the Ministry of Defence
thinks that this "reform" will help our military servicemen to return
Karabakh," the author writes.
The article reads also that earlier the newspaper has noted that
the country has begun official propaganda of creation of only those
political parties which are based on the Heydar Aliyev learning.
In Azerbaijan Heydar Aliyev's personality cult formed during his
lifetime, this process still continued after his death. In honor of
the former president streets and parks, various places (including the
airport in Baku and refineries) were named after him. The schoolbooks
call Heydar Aliyev a "great leader" and the savior of Azerbaijan.
