Baku / 30.11.19 / Turan: Revolutionary, without exaggeration, decisions of recent days, automatically raised one question: what’s next? Is it just a rearrangement and rotation of personnel or a new stage in state building and real reforms already?
Skeptics say that a simple change of personnel and the dismissal of even individuals such as Ramiz Mehdiyev and Ali Hasanov do not guarantee the reign of justice and freedom in the country.
Nevertheless, sources close to the authorities say that, first of all, one should expect the cleansing of the Aligasanov’s legacy - a huge ideological “holding” in the form of small-circulation newspapers, useless pro-government organizations and other public structures that have been eating grants for decades, allocated by order of Ali Hasanov .
Cleansing should be done in the Press Council, a number of television channels, and first of all, Khazar, owned by Hasanov’s son. Personnel shifts are required in the State Media Support Fund.
The withdrawal of all these structures from the control of the former chief ideologist of the country does not mean their recovery. If the previous course remains in search of enemies among dissenters and those who disagree with the official position, nothing will change. But the most important thing is not even that.
Until the ideology of the country is based on hate propaganda, streams of lies will flow from the TV screens, personal correspondence and bed scenes will be sent to the Internet, and pro-government journalists will throw themselves at international observers at press conferences and talk about recovery not allowed.
The situation will change when the press will not pay for meanness, when people like Ali Hasanov dare not shout publicly, urging all "honest Azerbaijanis to condemn the betrayal of Rustam Ibrahimbekov."
Is all this possible?

Modern wars test humanity's resilience, compelling a reevaluation of priorities and values. In such times, it is especially crucial to demonstrate not only strength but also a commitment to the principles of international law and humanity. Ukraine, facing an unprecedented scale of armed aggression from the Russian Federation, continues to uphold the norms of international humanitarian law (IHL) while resisting this aggression. The Voluntary Report presented by Ukraine's Ministry of Defense has become a symbol of transparency, accountability, and the pursuit of justice.

"Human rights" derive their foundation from justice. Justice is natural and connected to creation. From the moment of birth, this right is naturally granted to every person. Law, however, is something given — limited to what parliaments deem appropriate for us. The extent to which parliament represents justice and fairness is always a matter of debate.
