ArmInfo.  President of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev  hopes that oil will protect him from the fate of Kosovo leader Hashim  Thaci, who, after all these years, nevertheless, will soon appear  before the Hague Tribunal for organizing war crimes and crimes  against humanity committed between March 1998 and September 1999.

The fact that he shouldn't really hope for it was demonstrated by the  BBC corporation -(let us note that it is not an Armenian corporation,  but the world-known British semi-state media), which made it clear to  the head of dynastic Azerbaijan with its questions that he was  grabbed, to put it mildly, "by his neck", and now he will not manage  to get rid of not only Erdogan's Turkey, which already, in fact,  rules the show in his country, but also the Anglo-Saxon West, which  has reserved for him a thick folder of "crimes against humanity."  This folder, on occasion, can be taken out of the drawer and sent to  The Hague in the same way as the "Kosovo dossier".

Although Aliyev is a "daddy's graduate" of MGIMO (Moscow State  University for Foreign Affairs), he understands very well that such  "righteous" questions for an interview with the world media were  prepared in advance and agreed with the authorities in London for a  reason. Now he is a debtor to the neoliberal West, which will  blackmail the Azerbaijani "oil sheikh" until the end of his earthly  stay and will not give him a single millimeter of free space for  independent geopolitical and other maneuvers.

Having started a war with Artsakh and becoming a hostage of his own  ambitions, promises to his own dad, as he put it in one of the  tweets, as well as bloodthirsty messages from a certain radical part  of the political establishment of his country, Aliyev signed his  "Hague sentence" and now he will hardly be able to wash this blood.   In an interview with the BBC, he not only blatantly lied to a  reporter that the Armed Forces of his country had never aimed at  Christian churches and never used cluster bombs against civilians,  but also accused the direct witnesses of these bombings in the person  of the BBC in spreading fake news.

When asked if he understands that a humanitarian catastrophe may  occur in Nagorno-Karabakh this winter, and what will happen to the  civilian population, Aliyev cynically stated that this is not a  question for him, but for Pashinyan, as if not his troops together  with Turkish partners destroyed the civil infrastructure of Artsakh  cities. Moreover, he, as was typical of the leaders of the Third  Reich, is ready to "take care" of them, and this is in the case that  examples of such "care" for civilians, with their heads cut off and  executions, are documented and well known. Just like in the  "sanatoriums" for Jewish children.  Aliyev went even further in his  lies the whole world, since he had nowhere to go - questions were  asked head-on. When a reporter asked him how it happened that a  church was bombed in Nagorno-Karabakh twice a day, he said that  either it was a mistake of artillery, or a provocation from the  Armenian side.  Realizing that he was ridiculous, Aliyev all the same  admitted that "this could have happened only by mistake, because the  church was not among our goals" and already deliberately impudently  answered the leading question "could such a mistake be made twice in  one day," he noted "Why not?". Realizing, also, that even here he  went beyond the bounds of decency, Aliyev appealed to his brothers in  religion for the favor, saying "they keep pigs in our mosques",  although he knows very well about the mosque restored by the Armenian  side in the same Shushi.

Moreover, when the reporter asked Aliyev that her colleagues had  become "accidental witnesses of the shelling of an ambulance center,  the destruction of a residential apartment building, the  indiscriminate shelling of the city without obvious military targets  and that all this was not rumors, it was seen and filmed by BBC  journalists, he expressed doubts about the objectivity of this  evidence: "So what? This means nothing. It could be a fake news "  prepared because of a prejudiced position in relation to the conflict  and because of black PR in relation to Azerbaijan." That is, you  cannot be guilty of anything? "The correspondent asked him a question  head-on." All accusations - distorted information. "All this  information is fake news. And when asked that there is evidence of  the use of cluster bombs in residential areas of Stepanakert, also  documented by Human Rights Watch, there are photographs, videos and  eyewitness accounts, he, not knowing how to parry, also named all of  this is fake news. "That is, all this is fake news?" asked the  reporter. "Of course! Why not? "He replied.

In this regard, it is worth noting one very significant nuance. The  reporter did not ask him if he considers as fake news the testimony  of the heads of intelligence services, including those of Western  countries, that the Azerbaijani armed forces are fighting in Karabakh  in tandem not only with Turkish military personnel, but also  specially hired jihadists representing banned terrorist groups in  Syria and Libya. The absence of this question in the interview is  certainly not accidental, since he will definitely not be judged for  this! The solitaire is played out, it is not difficult to solve it.  Now Aliyev certainly has nowhere to run, especially back under the  bosom of Russia. They won't let him, they will summon him to The  Hague!
