In the Mexican state of Guerrero new conflict is brewing with
government of Azerbaijan similar to the conflict concerning the
monument of Heydar Aliyev in Mexico City, the Mexican news site Animal
Politico reports.
"According to documents the "Animal Politico" holds, the Guerrero
Governor Angel Aguirre agreed to establish famous Azerbaijani poet
Nizami Gyanjev's monument in Acapulco," the site reports.
It says that it is stated in the letter signed by the Ambassador of
Azerbaijan Ilgar Muhtarov on May 17, in 2012.
Monument to Heydar Aliyev which was installed in one of the central
parks of Mexico City in August 2012 was removed by the decision of
the city authorities in late January.
Azerbaijan has spent about $ 5 million on the reconstruction of two
parks in Mexico City, after which it was allowed to install a monument
there. Several protests were held in the capital of Mexico during
which the participants claimed they did not want to see the statue of
a dictator, who had ruled thousands of miles away from their country,
next to the monuments of their heroes.
As a result, a special commission was formed which recommended Mexico
City to deinstall the statue of the former Azerbaijani President Heydar
Aliyev, and noted that the government made a mistake by taking money
and allowing a foreign government to decide to which political and
historical figures should be rendered homage in Mexican capital.
In mid-January, Foreign Minister of Mexico gave absolute freedom to
the Government of Mexico City to make a decision concerning Aliyev's
controversial statue. The Azerbaijani Ambassador to Mexico Ilgar
Mukhtarov said that the Embassy has decided to appeal to international
organizations to get solution to the problem he even threatened to
break relations with the countries. In mid-January the Legislative
Assembly of Mexico City turned to the government of the city with an
appeal to deinstall the statue.
At the end of September 2012, in Canada, bust of Heydar Aliyev,
installed a year ago, was dismantled too, as the authorities of the
Niagara city considered it to be a statue of a dictator.
