Al Jazeera: Ilham Aliyev openly makes anti-Armenian attacks on Twitter
Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev in his microblog on Twitter was not particularly picky in his expressions when speaking about its neighbor – Armenia, reads the article published on the website of TV channel Al Jazeera.
According to the observations of Al Jazeera, in contrast to the first 15 tweets in which Aliyev shared achievements of its country, tweets regarding the foreign policy of Azerbaijan were in less conciliatory tone. He openly makes anti-Armenian statements, accompanying them with threats and accusations.
The article also presents the reaction of Twitter users who speak about the undiplomatic behavior of Ilham Aliyev. "He does not have diplomatic skills yet," said one of the users sharing Twit of Aliyev. "I do not understand whether this is the president writing or a"keyboard warrior" who trolls in Twitter," another user commented on Aliyev’s statement.
In August 2014 Al Jazeera has already reported that aggressive statements of Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev in social networks give rise to online confrontation. It was noted that after renewed clashes between Armenian and Azerbaijani armies, the president of Azerbaijan has made a number of militant Twits in the microblog. "He threatened to make war, at the same time calling Armenians "barbarians and vandals", Al Jazeera reports.
