Scandal occurs during TV debate in Azerbaijan: 1500 ruling party members signed up for opposition

On October 3 Public Television of Azerbaijan has once again turned into arena of insults and attacks at Jamil Hasanli the presidential candidate of the National Council of Democratic Forces, writes the Azerbaijani information agency "Turan."

Thus, during the TV debates of presidential candidates the head of the "Present Musavat" party Hafiz Hajiyev called Hasanli a dishonest person. "You swore on your honor. How can you swear on something that you do not have," Hajiyev said. He went on insulting the other oppositionists, calling them by one of the words that define sexual minorities.

In response Jamil Hasanli the single oppositionist candidate said that Hajiyev offended the entire nation by such words as women and children are watching the TV.

Hasanli blamed on President Ilham Aliyev, noting that it was him who "had imported this immorality to the Azerbaijani policy."
"Therefore, Ilham Aliyev has no moral right to rule Azerbaijan," Hasanli said. He added that in the world there are still two dynasties ruling for more than 40 years, one of them is Kim Il Sung in North Korea and Aliyev in Azerbaijan.

"The world is changed. Aliyev dynasty, Ilham Aliyev must leave the power," Hasanli said. Then he showed a piece of paper, which, according to him, was Ilham Aliyev’s bank account of the Virgin Islands, registered while he was a deputy.

In response, Aliyev’s representative Siyavush Novruzov, Zahid Oruj and others accused Hasanli of using information from Armenian sources and of slandering Aliyev.

According to the Azerbaijani news "Haqqin.az" portal Hafiz Hajiyev accused Jamil Hasanly in having relationship with the Armenians, saying that his daughter had married a foreigner of Armenian origin.

During the TV debate Hasanli complained for the fact that he is personified with PPFA-Musavat tandem, while his candidacy is supported by a broad coalition of forces.

According to him, about 1,500 members of the ruling party "Yeni Azerbaijan" have signed in support of his candidacy.

As "Turan" notes, during the debates Mais Gyulalyev, the representative of presidential candidate Ilyas Ismailov, accused the West of the economic colonization of Azerbaijan and called for saving the country from the dictatorship of the Western banks and the IMF.
The leader of the National Renaissance Party Faraj Guliyev, stated in his turn, about the necessity of deepening relations with the U.S., Israel and Turkey, and made a disguising accusation to the leaders of the National Council for flirting with Russia and for actions carried out against the independence of Azerbaijan.
