Aliev Vows To ‘Fight’ Armenian Diaspora

President of Azerbaijan, Ilham Aliev, vowed today to fight Armenian diaspora around the world. No doubt Azerbaijan is bound to support their big Turkic brother in continuing the campaign of denial and intimidation, however, to paraphrase Churchill, they have much to be humble about and Azerbaijan's humble assistance is more of a symbolic than practical nature. In a characteristically simplistic way of describing geopolitics, Aliev said: "Azerbaijan is a country that will supply Europe and world markets with energy resources. Imagine Azerbaijan on one side of the scale and Armenia on the other." If Azeri political thought stays at this distinguished level Armenia and Armenians have nothing to fear - at least politically.
