If this is West's democracy, Azerbaijani people are against it, top official
What is unacceptable for some countries, is considered by those
countries themselves as appropriate for other states and nations,
and they hold campaigns against those not following their
instructions through non-governmental organizations, which play the
role of the “fifth column”, said the Azerbaijani president’s aide
for public and political affairs, Ali Hasanov.
He made the remarks June 5 at a meeting with the heads of
Azerbaijan’s media outlets commenting on the words by the Chairman
of the Azerbaijani Press Council Aflatun Amashov about the
existence of offensive pages on social media.
Hasanov said the countries, which speak about freedom of speech,
don’t allow the existence of such pages themselves.
Hasanov said he'd recommend to issue a high award or a medal of
Azerbaijan to organizations that put the country at the bottom of
the freedom of speech lists, if anyone can find such offensive
pages in the Western countries, which try to teach democracy to
Azerbaijan.
He also noted that if it is the democracy instilled by the West,
then Azerbaijani people are against such a democracy.
“Here the matter rests in double standards, but, unfortunately,
what we are talking about is not taken into account by the
organizations that shape international public opinion,” said
Hasanov.
