    WikiLeaks: 'Aliyev calls Erdogan's foreign policy a 'naivety'

    In the documents of the US State Department published by the
    `WikiLeaks' still appear new disgraceful expressions left behind the
    political veil and interpretations made by the Azerbaijani President
    Ilham Aliev.

    Unprompted by U/S Burns, Aliyev spelled out the reasons Azerbaijan
    decided to sell gas to Russia last year, noting that ""Moscow had
    asked" and offered a good price for gas that was surplus anyway. But
    the real reason, Aliyev confided, was that the sale illustrated to
    "our Turkish friends" that they will not be allowed to create a gas
    distribution hub. "Aliyev made clear his distaste for the Erdogan
    government in Turkey, underscoring the "naivete" of their foreign
    policy and the failure of their initiatives, including the loss of
    support for Turkey among traditional international friends because of
    Ankara,s hostility to Israel. He noted that in his view, there had
    never been any merit to the notion of a "moderate Islamist" government
    in Turkey, and that Erdogan,s insistence on promoting Hamas and Gaza)
    when other Arab countries were notably silent on these issues) had
    brought Turkey no benefits.
