Экс-посол США в АР: Если американцам сказать, что кто-то не может стать президентом, потому что он режиссер, это покажется им крайне удивительным

 Плохая ситуация в Азербайджане с демократией и правами человека не означает,
что правительство США должно вмешиваться во внутренние вопросы Азербайджана.
Подобное мнение <Радио Свобода> выразил экс-посол США в Азербайджане,
профессор Университета George Mason Ричард Козларич.


"По моему мнению, позиция США, как и
прежде, заключается в основном, в привлечении внимания правительства к
различным нарушениям. Пусть Азербайджан проведет справедливые выборы, и власть
будет избрана по воле народа. Один из официальных представителей партии <Ени
Азербайджан> сказал мне, что Рустам Ибрагимбеков никогда не может стать
президентом, потому что он режиссер. Ладно, допустим, это так. Тогда дайте
возможность, чтобы он приехал в Азербайджан, принял участие на выборах, и
сказал народу свое слово. Если американцам сказать, что кто-то не может стать
президентом, потому что он режиссер,  это
покажется им крайне удивительным. Одно дело сказать, что из кого-то не выйдет
президента, а с другой стороны, делать все, чтобы воспрепятствовать этому.
Такие вещи просто поразительны", - подчеркнул аналитик.



По словам Козларича, если Ильхам Алиев хочет видеть
Азербайджан демократическим, то подобных нарушений быть не должно. А если
власть будет продолжать свои действия, демократии не получится. Говорят, что
есть экономическое благосостояние, но кто получает от этого пользу? По мнению
Козларича, Гейдар Алиев был более уверен в себе и своей легитимности. "Я
не хочу сказать, что он был демократическим лидером в нашем понимании. Но он
понимал важность изменения внутренней и внешней ситуации в стране.  Не знаю, поступил бы он сегодня иначе. Но
думаю, что Гейдар Алиев не использовал бы некоторых сегодняшних средств. Он был
более мудрым. Но это мое личное мнение", - подытожил аналитик.
