Re: Azerbaijan - Internal Political Affairs

This is also indirectly related to the information war conducted against Armenia because Fatullayev speaks out against the lies of Khojaly and they are probably trying to assassinate his character by allegedly finding heroin on him in jail, suggesting probably that his views are that of under the influence or of a drug addict. For more about Eynulla Fatullayev, click this wiki link.

/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Mass arrests and beatings are reported to take place in Benanyar village of Nakhijevan Autonomous Republic, Azerbaijan.

According to Azeri media reports, the situation escalated in December 2009, when two dozens of the village elders were arrested and tortured. On January 5, police cordoned off the village and arrested most of men there, Lenta.ru said.

The local authorities label the reports as ‘fiction’. Meanwhile, Nakhijevani outpost in Baku confirmed a conflict between the local law enforcers are villagers.

Nakhijevan is an autonomous republic within Azerbaijan, the homeland of the ruling Aliyev clan. An Armenian territory until 1923, Nakhijevan was transferred to Azerbaijan, whose leadership eliminated the Armenian historical and cultural heritage in the area.

Azerbaijani youth leave the country due to Aliyev's bellicose statements, ARP deputy says
ARP Dashnaktsutyun Party has “trustworthy” information over a great mass of Azerbaijani youth leaving the country, ARP member Vahan Hovhannisyan told a press conference today.

According to him, Azerbaijani youth leave for Russia and Ukraine and this is due to the Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev’s and Defense Minister Safar Abiyev’s bellicose statements.

“Due to Aliyev’s and Abiyev’s bellicose statements, a group of Azerbaijani youth leave the country since during the war none wants to serve in an army where officers kill soldiers and vice versa,” ARP deputy said.

According to Hovhannisyan, Armenia and Azerbaijan face the hazard of resuming the war unless they reach a clear peace agreement.

Azerbaijani flag burnt in Iran


February 18-19, protest actions were held in front of Azerbaijan’s Embassy in Tehran, Express newspaper reports. The picketers burnt an Azerbaijani flag, threw egg at the Embassy office and profanes state symbol. Meanwhile, according to the source, the Congress of World Azerbaijanis plans to hold a protest in front of Iranian Embassy in Baku.

This is not the first scandalous incident between the states. On the threshold of Israeli Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman’s visit to Baku, Iranian “Sahar” TV started broadcasting anti-Azerbaijani video clip. On the background of Palestinian children’s bodies, victims of Zionistic aggression, shots of Israeli and Azerbaijani officials’ meetings are shown in the video.

So are they protesting something in particular or just expressions of general and prolonged dislike?

Israel's foreign minister (hated by Iran and many others) was warmly greeted on his visit to Azerbaijan. Not the first time Iran gets pissed off about it, Israeli officials have been making frequent visits to Azerbaijan lately. Something is brewing and it does not seem to be in Armenia's or Iran's favour.

Armenia should immediately send their foreign minister Edward to Iran this week. It would be a strategic and symbolic move reminding the Iranians that while Israel is being friendly with neighbouring country Azerbaijan, Armenia will always value friendly relations with Iran.

Re: Azerbaijan - Internal Political Affairs

Do you think it could be possible that Israel and Azerbaijan are trying to get something going in the region? By which i mean an Israel attack on Iran using Azerbaijan and if the Azeris allow this Israel will help them with Armenia? Thats the first thing that came into my mind and im hoping its not right.

Israel is probably negotiations arms sales to Azerbaijan. They have supplied them with arms in the past (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IMI_Tavor_TAR-21) and last I heard, they want to sell them unmanned drones (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elbit_Hermes_450) that can be used to spy on other countries i.e. Armenia.

As for Iran, Azerbaijan being a neighbouring country of Iran is strategic to Israel. It can use Azerbaijani territory for all kinds of operations such as spying on Iran, launch attacks etc.
