Azerbaijan’s Consul in Los Angeles Needs to Learn How to Use a Laptop

By Harut Sassounian, Publisher, The California Courier

A funny thing happened to the Consul General of Azerbaijan on his way to make an audio-visual presentation at the Los Angeles World Affairs Council last week.

Consul General Nasimi Aghayev stepped up to the podium, turned on his fancy laptop, and proudly urged the audience to watch scenes of Azerbaijan on a large screen on the wall. To his horror, nothing but a frozen partial image appeared on the overhanging screen. The Consul’s aides and the World Affairs Council’s president rushed to the stage and began pushing all sorts of buttons on the laptop, as the guests waited impatiently. Mr. Aghayev not only was unable to showcase his native land, he could not even present his speech, because the text was locked up in his uncooperative laptop!

In desperation, the Azeri diplomat began speaking off the cuff, after pulling a piece of paper from his pocket on which he had scribbled some notes. This was the inauspicious start of an evening that was intended to show off Azerbaijan’s impressive advances and dazzle the audience with high-tech gadgets.

The Consul General appeared agitated throughout the lecture. Perhaps he was unaccustomed to speaking before such an august gathering or he was nervous because there were "representatives of the Armenian Diaspora in this room," including myself and a handful of Armenians.

Mr. Aghayev talked at length about Armenia "occupying" a part of his country’s territory, a reference to the liberation of Artsakh (Karabagh). Calling this conflict "Azerbaijan’s top problem," he expressed his chagrin that "one million Azeris today are refugees." However, he failed to explain why a government with billions of dollars in oil revenue would allow such a large number of its citizens to live in abject poverty for over 20 years.

Imitating the Turkish regime, the Consul General made a serious gaffe by referring to the Armenian Genocide as a "so-called genocide." Is it wise for Azeri officials to insult Armenians by denying the Genocide, at a time when they have their hands full with the Artsakh conflict? Why would Azerbaijan’s leaders want to complicate matters by associating themselves with Turkey’s denialism and further antagonize Armenians, making them less likely to sit with them at the peace table!

Mr. Aghayev’s remarks completely ignored the massive violation of the human rights of Azeri citizens, including those of ethnic minorities, as he falsely described Azerbaijan as a land of "religious and ethnic tolerance." He went on to engage in gross historical revisionism by forgetting the massacres of Armenians in Sumgait and Baku and claiming that Armenians enjoyed their full freedom in Soviet Azerbaijan. He also described Muslim Azerbaijan as "one of the earliest nations to accept Christianity, in 313 AD!"

After several pre-arranged questions from some in the audience on how "tolerant" Azerbaijan is to "Mountain xxxs" and the great relationship it enjoys with Israel, the World Affairs Council president cautiously avoided giving me the chance to pose a question. Fortunately, two other Armenians, Aroutin Hartounian, President of Unified Young Armenians and Garo Ghazarian, Chairman of the Armenian Bar Association, were granted the opportunity ask questions. The two Armenians raised the issue of Ramil Safarov, an axe-wielding Azeri soldier who killed a sleeping Armenian officer during a NATO training course in Hungary. After the Hungarian government released Safarov from prison prematurely and extradited him to Azerbaijan, Pres. Aliyev pardoned and glorified the axe-murderer! Foolishly contradicting his President, the Azeri Consul General stated that Azerbaijan "does not condone" Safarov’s crime!

Mr. Aghayev’s appearance before the World Affairs Council raises some troubling questions. Why did the Council take the unusual step of inviting a lowly Consul General to offer "a competing view" to the one presented by Armenia’s Foreign Minister Edward Nalbandian, at the same venue, on September 24? One wonders what inducement Azerbaijan offered to the World Affairs Council to secure a presentation by a junior diplomat, possibly undermining the reputation of this prestigious organization!

Days later, when Mr. Aghayev’s lecture was posted on the Azeri Consulate’s website, the laptop glitches were carefully eliminated from the heavily edited video. The 48-minute speech and question and answer period had been reduced to 15 minutes!

The incident with the Consul General’s laptop is symptomatic of a much larger problem for Azerbaijan. The country’s leaders have spent billions of dollars to acquire a massive amount of advanced military hardware. But, if they don’t know which button to push, the sophisticated weaponry will be as useless as Mr. Aghayev’s laptop!

Rather than labeling the Armenian Diaspora as Azerbaijan’s "main enemy," Pres. Aliyev should be more worried about his diplomats who cannot use a laptop! Incompetent officials are more of a liability for Azerbaijan than the Armenian "enemy"!

Azeri president says Armenia is a country "of no value"

Nov 20 (Reuters) - Azeri President Ilham Aliyev took his verbal attacks on arch enemy Armenia onto Twitter on Tuesday, calling his Caucasus neighbour a "colony" run from abroad.

Aliyev and his government have tried to boost their presence online, where dissident Azeri bloggers and members of the Armenian diaspora regularly attack Azerbaijan's human rights record.

"Our main enemy is the Armenian lobby ... Armenia as a country is of no value. It is actually a colony, an outpost run from abroad, a territory artificially created on ancient Azerbaijani lands," Aliyev said in a tweet microblog.

War between ethnic Azeris and Armenians erupted in 1991 over Azerbaijan's mainly Armenian-populated Nagorno-Karabakh region, which Armenian-backed forces seized along with seven surrounding Azeri districts.

A truce was signed in 1994, but there was no peace treaty, and violence still flares sporadically along Azerbaijan's border with Armenia and a frontline with Nagorno-Karabakh.

Oil-producing Azerbaijan, host to oil majors BP, Chevron and ExxonMobil, frequently threatens to take the mountain enclave back by force, and has spent heavily on its armed forces, though it says it favours diplomacy.

Armenia and Azerbaijan failed to make peace in internationally mediated talks last year and have been hurling angry rhetoric at each other ever since, although analysts do not yet detect any drift into a new armed conflict.

"We are conducting talks and at the same time building up our military strength," Aliyev said in another tweet, adding that Baku would continue its efforts to isolate its neighbour.

"Azerbaijan grows stronger and more powerful by the year, while Armenia weakens and declines every year ... We will continue our efforts to isolate Armenia."

Armenian officials were not available to comment on the statements.

Nagorno-Karabakh has run its own affairs with heavy Armenian military and financial backing since the war.

Azerbaijan accuses ethnic Armenian lobbies, active in France and the United States, of blackening its international image and has worked to counter this, notably by hosting the Eurovision song contest this year.

Netherlands state TV introduces Azerbaijan’s occupied Nagorno Karabakh region as “sovereign state”

Baku – APA. “Dutch journalist Patrick Ladiers informed the audience about the existence of a new route to travel to the “Nagorno Karabakh Republic”, which has not been recognized by any state or international organizations, in the BNN's “3 op Reis” (3 on Tour) travel broadcasting on the Nederland 3 (Netherlands 3) TV channel on November 11.

He didn’t even avoid of introducing the so-called regime as “a sovereign state”, which has its own flag and territory, and recommended those wishing to travel to Nagorno Karabakh, to address the Armenian embassy in the Kingdom of the Netherlands,” press service of the Amsterdam-based Benelux Azerbaijanis Congress (BAC) told APA.

Benelux Azerbaijanis Congress officially appealed to BNN channel regarding the program that does not reflect reality, focuses on Armenian lies and aspersions. The appeal gives detailed information about the occupation of 20 percent of Azerbaijani territories by Armenia, savageries committed by Armenia against the civilians in Azerbaijan’s town of Khojaly, steps taken by our country towards peaceful resolution of Armenia-Azerbaijan conflict over Nagorno Karabakh, the fact that Nagorno Karabakh was historically Azerbaijan’s territory, unambiguous recognition of Azerbaijan’s territorial integrity by states and international organizations.

BAC demanded BNN channel, the journalist to apologize to the Azerbaijani people and remove the program from the website. The representatives of the Congress expressed their hope that such programs will be not broadcasted on the channel any more.

You can watch the travel program here:

http://3opreis.bnn.nl/afleveringen/algemeen/6/11

or

http://www.uitzendinggemist.nl/afleveringen/1303934

3 op reis is a travel program, no journalism program. BNN informs travelers in an open and neutral manner. Patrick travels for this program to areas with a tumultuous past. This week is that Nagorno Nagaorno.

BNN knows the political situation in Nagorno Karabakh. Patrick says in this broadcast also on the history and the conflict in Karabakh, without taking a position. "

The judge is a she-appearantly it takes a woman to grow the balls needed to stand up to pure evile.

Soon you'll hear about that judge in the news; either he is resigning or he died from a heart-attack.

Re: Armenia and the information war

The following is my favorite, from a certain Adil Baguirov:

I think he found a certain fame on the Russian-language section of the Wikipedia propaganda factory. Then he and a bunch of co-conspirators got banned for being too blatant in their plotting. He is probably still around under many other names, and the conspirators are all active on the English-language Wikipedia. Probably Wikipedia got a fat donation from some Aliev "foundation".

Re: Armenia and the information war

I'm officially out of control. I can't get over how hilarious (but also disturbing) some of these emails are. I've been sifting through their effluvia for the past hour. The following is my favorite, from a certain Adil Baguirov:

To make it short: Caucasus is not Western Europe, Armenia are not Swedes or Finland. You have examples of USSR (incl Azerbaijan SSR), Ottoman Empire, Byzantine Empire to remind you how quickly Armenians spread even in most «monolithic» societies, get to positions of power, influence, and strength, at the expence of Turkic/Muslim people. The longer Azerbaijan is able to continue the course of being somewhat isolated from Armenian influence from inside, the better. Once Armenians will get back, it will start again – marrying of Armenian women, giving posts of deputy ministers and ministers to them, selling lands (legally), entire quarters in large cities becoming Ermenikend, political correctness in everything, etc. Azerbaijanis will fall asleep, being inherently apolitical and inactive, not to mention undisciplined and disorganized, people.

There's also an exchange about one of them meeting "Monte Melkonian's killer." One of the participants admits that every man of a certain age in the Azerbaijani army claims to have killed him.

Re: Armenia and the information war

Yikes. Somebody has uncovered an anti-Armenian mailing list run by Azerbaijanis and put their exchanges up for all to see: http://vs.ananun.am/?p=2433 (some of their emails are in Russian)

Sorry if this is old news.
