The Candidacy of Rustam Ibrahimbekov in Press Review

The main topic of today's press was Rustam Ibrahimbekov's nomination for President. The response to this event mixed the media, depending on the political orientation of the different opinions and judgments.

Thus, the independent and opposition press, analyzing this event, generally expressed positive. These are Azadlig, Novoye Vremya, Yeni Musavat, and Zerkalo.

At the same time, a number of publications approach this issue carefully enough (Bizim Yol), pushing it into the background.

Political analysts in the comments in these newspapers, called Ibrahimbekov "personality, able to combine the democratic forces."

The official pro-government newspapers (Azerbaijan, Khalg Gazeti, Yeni Azerbaijan) took a sharply negative attitude and publish insults against Ibragimbekov.

The essence of the publications is that Ibrahimbekov is a traitor and a friend of the Armenians, and he was a loser as a playwright, and he has no social base, and he does not know Azerbaijan, and he has never been in politics. He is willing to sell Karabakh in order to gain power, and such a person can not resist the candidate of the government.

However, these materials have been published from the inception of the Public Chamber, followed by the National Council. However, in recent weeks insults in official media have become the most "intense". Thus, in the paper of the ruling party Yeni Azerbaijan at least 3-4 such articles are devoted to this topic every day.

In today's issue of Yeni Azerbaijan, there is a record number of entries - 6.

The same offensive material, but to a lesser extent is published by the general official newspapers - Azerbaijan, Khalg Gazeti and Respublika.

Most of the websites also put a message on Ibrahimbekov's nomination for President, but almost do not comment on it. However, a number of sites, Moderator, Modern, Caucasus, Europe, and News published comments from the government camp. -05D04-
