Jamil Hasanli: in elections Aliyev, and not the opposition was disgraced

Baku/06.02.14/Turan : "Ilham Aliyev has repeatedly predicted the end of the opposition, but his predictions  never come true, and now  his own end is approaching," said  Jamil Hasanli , the head of the National Council, commenting on Aliyev’s yesterday's speech.

Aliyev  should better expressed  his attitude to the  26 facts  of suicide attempts , including the self-immolation of citizens of Azerbaijan  over the last month protesting  against injustice.

"The president of the country , where a war veteran burns himself , has no right to make grandiloquent speeches. Ilham Aliyev  is Russian-speaking   and  does not understand the meaning of the word "rezalet" (shame.) To be disgraced in the eyes of the people is when you build  for your child villas in Dubai for 75 million dollars. What is a real shame became known when information about the wealth of the family in the Virgin Islands  was disclosed.

The biggest shame is a  transference by a man calling himself "a president" profitable areas - gold mines , telecommunications companies , banks, etc. to the names of  his  loved ones.

The biggest shame  is  bargaining deputy mandates.

For two years the whole world is talking about this disgrace and  is writing about it  in the most authoritative reports," said Hasanli. In the presidential election  not the opposition ,but  Ilham Aliyev was disgraced, who has not issued a declaration of income. He became a hero of satirical programs  in international TV channels. His hasty inauguration the time of which  was concealed from the local and international community also  became a shame.

"The elections have shown that Aliyev has no connection with the people, and he usurped power by violent means. He is not elected by the people,  he was elected by "the reference of  CEC," said Hasanli, recalling that the observation mission of the OSCE ODIHR revealed serious shortcomings in counting votes for 58 % of polling stations.

However, Hasanli said that the democratic forces will not allow the country slip to a despotic regime , like the North Korean dictatorship.

"Azerbaijan has to  sign and will sign the Association Agreement with the EU,  it must and will become a WTO member.

Neither Ilham Aliyev , nor anyone else is able to leave the country beyond global processes,"  concluded Hasanli.—06D—
