MOLDOVAN OMBUDSMAN AS MIRROR OF AZERI PROPAGANDA
August 23, 2013 - 18:54 AMT
PanARMENIAN.Net - The saying "everyone gets what he deserves," fully
applies to Moldovan Ombudsman Aurelia Grigoriu who was awarded Heydar
Aliyev medal for her special services to Azerbaijan.
Her services of Azerbaijan would have been even greater, were she to
repeat her Yerevan statements in Artsakh Republic, although it would
be less likely for her to finish her speech there.
At a June 4 international conference in Yerevan, the Moldovan lawyer
slammed Armenia as an "aggressor," accusing Armenia of "occupying 20%
of Azeri territory and committing an ethnic cleansing in Khojalu."
Factually, Grigoriu repeated Azeri propaganda's favorite fables,
the ones that are given little trust in the country itself. Grigoriu
looked very happy with herself while making a statement in Yerevan,
yet she clearly overplayed her hand.
According to Azeri media, the medal has been awarded for promoting
human rights and realities of Azerbaijan in the world, as well as
in developing relations between Azerbaijan and the Turkic states
in particular.
It looks pretty strange, especially since Grigoriu is a Christian and
it doesn't become her to promote Turkic values. However it's possible
to understand feelings of the Moldovan Ombudsman once you see her
Facebook page where she almost declares love for Ilham Aliyev. So,
as a man, the least Aliyev could do was to award Grigoriu with a medal.
Occasionally, Grigoriu adds fuel to fire, suggesting Armenian ASALA
militants are on the hunt for her. How can one explain that ASALA has
long been inexistent and all of her "fears" are nothing but a cheap PR.
Also, prosecutions of Moldovan authorities, claimed by Grigoriu,
have noting in common with Armenia. Yerevan doesn't interfere in the
affairs of sovereign states, and doesn't allow interference in its
own affairs. It's surprising that such odious personalities should
always stand by Aliyev's side.
The interesting fact is that Grigoriu was nominated for the award of
the Foundation for Support to Policy of Turkic States at the request
of Azerbaijani NGOs in Central Asia. What has central Asia to do with
it? Or was that just Nazarbaev's favor to Aliyev? One can only advise
Azerbajan that it should be more careful in a search of a mouthpiece.
Otherwise the whole thing looks pretty unpalatable: a woman who
never got noticed in her own country becomes the favorite of Azeri
propagandists. Or she might move to Baku. But will she be needed in
the city that is paved with the likes of her?
