Akram Aylisli is deprived of the title "People"s Writer" and the presidential pension

President Ilham Aliyev has signed an order to deprive writer Akram Aylisli of the title "People's Writer" and personal pension of the President of the Azerbaijan Republic.

The President’s instruction noted that Aylisli abused the high confidence rendered him in the years of independence, and claims that Aylisli distorted in his work the realities of Azerbaijan history in a form not befitting an Azerbaijani writer.

According to the President’s instruction, Aylisli tried to build an anti-humanist image of the Azerbaijani people, wrongly accused him of action against human values, falsified the nature of the Armenian-Azerbaijani conflict, blackened the distant and recent history of Azerbaijan, and offended the dignity of one million Azerbaijanis expelled from their native lands as a result of the conflict. 

In view of this, and due to numerous requests from the public and public bodies, the head of state has deprived Aylisli of the title "People's Writer" as he does not deserve the title.

Due to numerous requests from the public, refugees and internally displaced persons, the President also deprived Aylisli of his personal pension of the President of Azerbaijan.—06D--
