Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev Named "Person of the Year" in...
Romania
BAKU. January 25, 2011: Azerbaijan's government-controlled media
trumpeted another PR victory - Azerbaijani president Ilham Aliyev has
been named 'Person of the Year' in... Romania. The magazine of the
South-East Europe, as well as Romania, Balcanii si Europa held award
ceremony for the persons having important merits in various spheres of
the political life in 2010. The `victory report' was delivered by the
Azerbaijani embassy in Romania. Not that Romania has any significant
ties with Azerbaijan. It just happens that Turgut Er, a former Turkish
diplomat who served in Azerbaijan in mid 1990s, recently published a
book `From Freedom to Tyranny' where he described how Azerbaijan
gradually turned from Elchibey democracy to Aliyev dictatorship. And
it just happens that in the above mentioned book Turgut Er described
the current Azerbaijani ambassador - Mr. Eldar Hasanov and in that
description Eldar Hasanov, the former Attorney General of Azerbaijan,
was linked to PKK, a Kurdish terrorist organization, which has well
established connections at the Azerbaijani government. Ilham Aliyev's
nomination as a `Person of the Year' followed the media exposure of
Eldar Hasanov as a person linked to Kurdish terrorist organization and
if it was a PR achievement for anybody, that person would clearly be
Mr. Hasanov who might be interested in showing his worth to president
Ilham Aliyev, not the Azerbaijani president who could care less about
getting any award in Romania.
According to the news reports, the Azerbaijani ambassador to Romania
Eldar Hasanov addressed the award ceremony and accepted the award on
behalf of the Azerbaijani president Ilham Aliyev (Azerireport).
