What did Aliyev say that went unnoticed in our public sphere? Azeri scholar

What did Aliyev say that went unnoticed in our public arena? Azerbaijani scholar Tatevik Hayrapetyan wrote about this.

“On July 13, “The mission of the SLMs in the promotion of peace. under the funny and sarcastic title “restoration of truth and restoration of trust”, several foreign journalists gathered together with Aliyev in occupied Shushi and had a discussion. This discussion lasted about three hours. Since I like to read and study the whole thing before commenting, that’s why I’m addressing this topic now that I’ve done it.

In our public sphere, the parts that were about the OSCE Minsk Group were very actively discussed, in particular, that Aliyev complained that he was not given what he wanted. That is exactly how it is. comparing the statements of both Aliyev and Pashinyan, it becomes obvious that both were dissatisfied with the proposals. one because he wanted to take over everything, the other because he wanted to get us out of the “conflict” trap, free us from the “burden” again. As a result, everyone got what they wanted. one, completely ethnically cleansed Armenians from their ancestral land, their home and place, and the other freed us from the “leash” of Artsakh. If in the case of the first one, i.e. Aliyev, it worked in favor of Azerbaijan, then in our case, it is almost the same if one has two children, one of them has some health problems, the doctors say, long treatment is expected, they say, no, give it at once, they say, kill, end this story, and then say, I did it for my other child so that he can live well. Anyway, let’s leave this immorality aside.

Aliyev also did not hide his intense displeasure with some European institutions, he was particularly upset with the High Representative of the European Union for Foreign Policy and Security Affairs, Joseph Borel. “This is a big chain of anti-Azerbaijani group that existed in the European Commission. But it’s good that Mr. Borrell is out of politics now, hopefully forever…” Aliyev said. By and large, he was satisfied with the work with the President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen. He was very upset with some European structures, especially the Council of Europe, regarding which he said: “If Azerbaijan completely withdraws from the Council of Europe, no one in the country will even notice it. So being there or not doesn’t change much here…” In fact, he says very correctly. for the people of dictatorial Azerbaijan, the presence in those structures does not change anything, it doesn’t matter, they are caught immediately if they suddenly dare to criticize the dictator.

As for the USA, of course, he did not hesitate to remember Biden “badly” and glorify Trump. Nevertheless, it was not surprising to call TRIP “Zangezur Corridor”.

He made quite bold statements regarding Russia, including regarding Ukraine, because until now, by and large, he has digested his behavior, including toward Russian peacekeepers.

And the most remarkable part, in my opinion, was related to the topic of gas. “Thus, the expansion of the existing transport infrastructure is necessary, but the obstacle is the European Green Agenda and European banks do not want to finance fossil fuel projects. Therefore, the question arises as to where to borrow to expand the pipeline capacity. Another issue, probably more important, is long-term contracts. And this is what we discussed with Madame Ursula von der Leyen, that we need long-term contracts. Because in order to significantly increase production, we need to invest a lot, and if at a certain point we are told: “Thank you, goodbye, we don’t need your gas anymore”, so what are we going to do…” This was a very interesting admission about the uncertain future of Azerbaijani gas, and this is not the first time that he has complained about the lack of investment. In my opinion, this topic is very underestimated by us in the context of our future calculations.

His very jealous attitude towards the topic of building an AI factory in Armenia was also noteworthy, which is not the first time it has been shown.

In fact, there was a lot of material, in many ways a more in-depth analysis is needed, but I will summarize my post with Aliyev’s most unique confession. “Human rights issues are universal issues…” It is a very correct point, that’s why one day they will be reminded of this statement.

And at the end of his speech, he advised not to give up, to fight, not to put up with failures and to keep in mind that when you make yourself dependent on other power centers, then you remain a prisoner of their decisions made about you… Of course, even if it is made by the enemy, this is good advice, especially for the “Demolish the State” party, which depends on Azerbaijan,” he wrote.
