A Twitter post from Azerbaijan's President Ilham Aliyev
BAKU--Azerbaijan's dictatorial President of 12 years, Ilham Aliyev,
took to Twitter again on Monday to attack Armenia and boast about
his accomplishments in a lengthy series of successive tweets.
Aliyev spared few words and paid no heed to diplomacy or tact in
his inimical tweets, one of which said, "Armenia is a powerless and
poor country."
Aliyev also took the time to praise his own country, saying in one
tweet, "Attempts to tarnish, sully and belittle Azerbaijan, a country
that enjoys great authority in the international arena today, are
all in vain."
One of Aliyev's tweets
The Azeri President's tweets come at a time when tensions are very
high at the border between Artsakh and Azerbaijan, with intensified
exchanges of fire and sporadic skirmishes having taken place in the
past two weeks.
Some readers on Twitter responded to Aliyev, many of them criticizing
his hostile rhetoric and lack of diplomacy. "The President of
Azerbaijan everyone. Hasn't got the hang of diplomacy yet," said
British journalist Jack Moore.
Aliyev's rhetoric has become increasingly aggressive in the last year,
this being his second time taking to Twitter to express his hostile
disposition toward Armenia.
In his last year's Twitter tirade, Aliyev threatened violence
against Armenia, warning that he could restart the Karabakh War,
while at the same time accusing Armenia of not being cooperative in
peace negotiations.
