ESPIONAGE PROPAGANDA

Last week we again had an opportunity to make sure that Armenia is more democratic country than Azerbaijan is. Judge yourself. Who are the Armenian oppositionists according to the propaganda of the RA authorities? At worst they are the enemies of the nation who pour water into the enemy’s mill /that is Azerbaijan’s/ by their opposition activities. In particularly the Armenian oppositionists didn’t have any right to declare in Strasbourg that our authorities rig the elections, close the mass media and beat peaceful demonstrators? It is clear that this is a national treachery; each patriot must praise his authorities. Otherwise the Azerbaijanis will be glad.

But this is a political appraisal. The Azerbaijani colleagues of our authorities went further. They are sure that their oppositionists collaborate with the special services of Armenia. The Public Prosecutor of Azerbaijan Zakir Garalov again threatened yesterday that the authorities of the country wouldn't allow destabilization of internal situation and would punish those who call to the revolution. In short who is that man or Hercules who won’t allow us to rig the elections for the following time?» Besides this «general Caucasian» repertory Garalov also spoke` about espionage motives; “in favor of realization their aspiration to seize the authority they /the radical oppositionists –A.A./ agreed to collaborate with the special services of Armenia. By Garalov's words both parties /as oppositionists as well as our special services/ want to overthrow the current authorities of Azerbaijan.

Do you feel the difference? You can find yourself, as the «enemy of the nation» unintentionally don't realizing the wisdom of the authorities. But the collaboration with the hostile special services is possible only intentionally. Though the diversity of nuances the propaganda «conception» of the authorities Armenia and Azerbaijan is the same and is based on the drawing of the Karabakh map. The “conception” is the following; there is a fine and unique authority, which adheres the rightist and the most patriotic position relative to the Karabakh conflict and each one who will try to change that authority wants to give Karabakh to the enemy. What a “clever man” from the authority system of our country will be interested in the settlement of the conflict in case of such an approach?
