“Any local or foreign organization, any person exerting pressure on
Azerbaijani state, staining it, should know that hatred of people,
public reprimand of intellectuals, scientists, writers, journalists,
parliamentarians and officials expect them”

Baku. Mubariz Aslanov – APA. “I have always considered that a
great love and disinterested service to the national statehood,
people, Motherland and strong commitment to the justice ideals
and irreconcilability against the enemies are the main features
characterizing a true citizen. Regardless of their social status,
position and views, if every official, intellectual, politician,
activist and ordinary person remains committed to their state and
national interests and closely unite around the National Leader,
who is leading the state to development and prosperity, the desire
of strong state and sustainable development can become a reality,”
chief of socio-political department of the Presidential Administration
Ali Hasanov told APA.

Ali Hasanov also noted: “Not giving a principal response to the some
foreign circles, including anti-national elements, who are going
to shake this unity, lead the country to confrontation, anarchy and
chaos, and not exposing them, we not only demonstrate indifference
to our significant successes achieved up to now, but also avoid the
responsibility before young generations, whom we are going to present
the independent and strong Azerbaijan. Therefore, our Motherland’s
initiative, national and statehood interests, our material and moral
resources, national and moral values of vital importance should be
“red line”, inviolable principle for every Azerbaijani.

Don’t those who receive grants from Armenian lobby, pro-Armenian
circles, stain this state from the international platforms, describe
Armenians as oppressed and Azerbaijanis as barbarians, tell lies to
the foreigners visiting our country deserve national hatred? Any
local or foreign organization, any person exerting pressure on
Azerbaijani state, staining it, should know that hatred of people,
public reprimand of intellectuals, scientists, writers, journalists,
parliamentarians and officials expect them. If this is not so at
present, it means that parliamentarians, officials, public figures,
national media and civil society institutions should think more about
their activities,” he said.

Department chief said he always backs his views.

“The statement made by respectable Rabiyyat Aslanova on Radio Liberty
that I am emotional when I call on the public to demonstrate principled
approach, reprimand to the anti-Azerbaijani local and organizations,
is groundless. I am not in the position or age to pass decisions,
make important challenges basing on emotions. These statements are
my principled civil position, well-weighed official position, I will
not retract from this position,” he said.
