For the first time in the Azerbaijani history, Ilham Aliyev’s rule has seen the emergence of a tradition of a kind of diplomatic deportation of more zealous and ambitious politicians and representatives of the ruling elite - who do not fit into the new formation - from the country, Haqqin.az writes.

“After all, it is certainly more comfortable to have the same Eldar Hasanov in Montenegro, Tamerlan Garayev in Indonesia, and Hasan Hasanov somewhere in the Eastern Europe, after all, Namiq Abbasov closer to the Mujahedeens than in the prison, right?” Haqqin.az writes.

Meanwhile the news portal unmasks new “national traitors” in the Foreign Ministry of the country. On the next day after the fire in the new residential building took the lives of 15 people because of the low-quality siding, a top official from the Foreign Ministry of Azerbaijan, currently the head of the Azerbaijani delegation in the Organization of the Islamic Conference at the European Union, Arif Mammadov, wrote on his Facebook, “This tragedy is every Azerbaijani’s pain and tragedy. No nation will stand this sort of shame and injustice. The officials get millions from the suffering of our people, and if they are not afraid of our people’s anger, let them be afraid of Allah’s anger!”

“Just imagine. Such a protest-minded person has been representing the whole Islamic world in Europe on behalf of Azerbaijan! Having this, what do we demand from Schulz, Gross and Strasser? Why do we blame the Department of State and answer Europe with notes of protest? Have we cherished a snake in our bosom?” the journalist Eynulla Fatullayev, the author of the article, wonders.

Those who supported the Facebook post also got into “the suspect list.” These are the spokesperson for the Foreign Ministry of Azerbaijan, Hikmet Hajiyev; Farah Gozalova from the Foreign Ministry; another diplomat, Javid Musayev; Anar Madatli from the Foreign Ministry; and one more top official from the Foreign Ministry, Ramiz Veliyev. “God! Isn’t this a most real revolt – a senseless and relentless revolt?” Fatullayev protests.
