URGENT APPEAL TO RIGHTEOUS DEFENSE OF AZERBAIJANIS (+ VIDEO 11:30)
http://www.armenews.com/article.php3?id_article=86912
Conscience is the moral quality that characterizes the human species.
The conscientious, honest and just call it what you like, is the
true pride and honor of the country, but criminals wielding an ax may
never be! An author in Azerbaijan should be proud of his country is
now in danger of death, and the threat emanates from the country's
president, a post-Soviet autocrat. The title of "People's writer"
of the Republic of Azerbaijan, and the reward state associated with
it have been withdrawn, and his wife and son were dismissed.
This writer is Ekrem Eylisli, author, screenwriter and playwright,
adept of the philosophy of brotherhood between the peoples of the great
Soviet writer Maxim Gorky, Maxim Gorky at the Institute of Literature
in Moscow named after the great man. He is 75 years old and this
prolific writer has published in numerous magazines and newspapers. He
was elected to Parliament in 2005. His literary life began in 1959
with poetry, and was followed by novels, plays, screenplays and short
stories. He also translated many works of humanist writers like Gabriel
G. Marquez, Turgenev and Chingiz Aitmatov in the Azeri language. His
works have been performed in many countries of the former Soviet Union,
including Yerevan.
The books of the writer are burned in a public place
Are now the lynch mob gathered in front of his house, as we have
already seen in Sivas and Marash. Revealing their slogan is "bring your
ax", he addresses to the officer Ramil Safarov Sahiboglu who beheaded
with an ax called an Armenian officer Gurgen Margarian in his sleep
in 2004, twenty days before the date of their return home [i].
They were trained in the program "Partnership for Peace" organized
by NATO in Budapest.
Melahet Ibrahimkizi - a parliamentary Azeri who was part of the
delegation sent to Ankara to meet with Turkish Parliament Speaker
Koksal Toptan [ii], the CHP leader Deniz Baykal, the leader of the
MHP Devlet Bahleci and various officials of the AKP to obtain at any
price, locking protocol to normalize relations and open the border,
signed in 2009 between Armenia and Turkey - is now trying to extend
the lynching campaign to Turkey, saying in a speech at the Azerbaijani
Parliament aggressive qu'Eylisli not insult not only Azerbaijani, but
the Turkish nation as a whole. During the same session of Parliament,
requests were even made to submit the author genetic testing and
deprive him of his citizenship. The reason for this is publication of
Stone Dreams [Dreams Stones], the last news of Eylisli in the Russian
literary magazine Druzhba Narodov (Brotherhood among Peoples). The
news was not even published in Azeri currently. An enraged mob has
formed in front of the house Eylisli in the capital Baku, shouting
"Shame on you, traitor! "And setting fire to his books and his
portraits with a cross on the forehead.
The new is the story of two Azeris who attempted to escape their
Armenian neighbors to racist violence. It also refers to awaken
consciences, pogroms against Armenians in Sumgait and Baku. The news
that was completed in 2007, could not be published until five years
later in Russia.
It is interesting to note that Armenian author had also discussed the
Armenian-Azerbaijani conflict, to awaken consciences - roughly the
same time - and received an award in the Republic of Azerbaijan. The
Writers' Union of which he was a member reacted to his acceptance
of the award Azerbaijani (but not the story itself), the author had
resigned from the Union in protest. He never, however, been the
target of a hate campaign like the one currently taking place in
Baku. The researcher said Sarkis Hatspanyan writer Levon Cavakhyan
wrote the novel "Kirve" (God the Father) in 2008 called "Azeris are
not my enemies" [iii]. The Azeri writer Ekrem Eylisli - who said
"Armenians are not my enemies" about the same time - is currently
facing a lynching campaign for daring to say the same thing. Although
invited by Western countries and Russia, Ekrem Eylisli proudly takes
position, saying "this is my home and I will not leave." I appeal to
international opinion and also the Democrats, Turkey and Azerbaijan,
to prevent a murder like that Hrant Dink was committed again.
Ragip Zarakolu [iv]
[I] Safarov was sentenced to life imprisonment in Hungary, but the
Azerbaijani President Aliyev was immediately released it to benefit
from the presidential pardon on 31 August 2012, after his extradition
to Azerbaijan.
[Ii] Koksal Toptan had used his powers as President of the Assembly
of Turkey in 2009 by confiscating and returning - on the order of
CHP deputy Sukru Elekdag - books sent to Members of Parliament
by the Institute Gomidas in violation of the freedom to provide
parliamentarians.
