Supporters of the Popular Front of Azerbaijan condemned Ilham  Aliyev`s attacks on Elchibey 

ArmInfo. The Advisory Board of the Elchibey Institute issued a statement in which it expressed regret and protest against the negative statements of Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev against the government of Abulfaz Elchibey, Turan reports.

 The document notes that on January 6, at a government meeting and later  during a trip to liberated Shusha, President Aliyev used "untrue,  contrary to historical facts, unfair and slanderous expressions about  the late ex-President Abulfaz Elchibey, the Popular Front, and the  Musavat party."

The authors of the documents consider it harmful and contrary to the  interests of the state to voice such statements on the spot, which  has become a symbol of victory in the Patriotic War and national  solidarity.  The Advisory Board of the Elchibey Institute declares  that if this line is continued, which is detrimental to national  unity, an answer will be given in an adequate style and content.

Speaking in Shusha on January 14, I. Aliyev said that Shusha and  Lachin were surrendered to the enemy as a result of the betrayal of  the PFA-Musavat in order to seize power in the country.

To note, Abulfaz Elchibey headed Azerbaijan from 1992 to 1993. Since  the late 1980s, he was the leader of the Popular Front of Azerbaijan.  He became the first popularly and democratically elected president of  the country. The period of his rule was accompanied by an economic  and political crisis in the republic. The grave consequences of the  Karabakh war and political strife within the country forced him to  leave the presidency in order to avoid a civil war and cede it to  Heydar Aliyev, the founder of the new dynastic Azerbaijan.
