On September 18, when President Ilham Aliyev arrives in Paris on September 18, thousands of French-Armenians should greet Azerbaijan"s leader with posters depicting him as "Hatchet Man-in-Chief" - "Bash Baltaji" - holding a bloody axe. Interestingly, in all three languages - Azeri, Hungarian, and Turkish - "balta" means hatchet or axe.
During the protest, French-Armenians should not waste their energies yelling out meaningless slogans, such as "Shame on Baku" or "Shame on Hungary." Instead, they should deliver the crucial message that Artsakh (Karabagh) be recognized as an independent state, because its Armenian population cannot survive under a despotic regime that glorifies axe-wielding murderers.
Official Baku and the authorities of France have not reported yet about the visit of Ilham Aliyev to Paris. -25В-
