“Some people in the West said that if I spoke against Armenia in the question of Karabakh, they would regret what they supported me. If I knew about it in advance, I would immediately refuse to support them … Why am I allowed to raise problems only Azerbaijani government, but not Armenian? This is not only the war of Aliyev, this is a war of all Azerbaijani people. 600 thousand people became refugees in their own country. I do not support Aliyev, but in relation to Karabakh he is right, because Armenia occupied our country in violation of international rights”. Such a statement was made by a journalist Hadija Ismailov in an interview with the German-speaking magazine “Zenit”. It is reported by the “Caucasus Bulletin”.
According to the journalist, it was in demand in the West, when the authorities criticized the authorities of Azerbaijan, but as soon as he expressed his position on the Karabakh conflict, they lost all interest.
Ismailova noticed that last year they were allowed to legally leave Azerbaijan, but if she was constantly invited to Western countries before that, now there are no such invitations: “When I can freely move freely, I, apparently, no one is no longer needed . It is depressing. “
The journalist claims that it is not ready to abandon his beliefs regarding the occupation of Armenia Karabakh to “please anyone or get more applause from abroad.”
According to her, with the Armenian side, no one criticizes the occupation of Karabakh and does not call for the investigation of Armenian war crimes, the only exception was now the late George Vanyan …
In the question of Karabakh, the opposition journalist is Solidarna with the leadership of Azerbaijan. Commenting on the assumption of an interviewer that the alleged “Board of Azerbaijan deprives Armenians of the Karabakh opportunity to live under the Azerbaijani Board,” Ismailov noted: “The conflict began not from Ilham Aliyev. The most cruel clashes have occurred long before it comes to power. Therefore, I do not accept this argument. In fact, if you think, it is a lie. “
