"The perceptions of tolerance by
Ilham Aliyev and the rest of the civilized world are different", said
Eduard Sharmazanov, Vice Speaker of the Armenian Parliament, Spokesman for the
ruling Republican Party of Armenia.
Earlier this week Azeri President Ilham Aliyev said
that his country is famous for its religious and ethnic tolerance. Sharmazanov
thinks that it is at least strange to hear such statements from the man, who
demolishes the ancient Armenian khachkars (cross-stones) in Jugha, glorifies
the murderer Ramil Safarov and makes Armenophobia its national ideology.
"As early as 1928 Adolf Hitler stated that his
movement was Christian, but we saw what disaster that "Christian
movement" led to. Perhaps, as
Hitler's movement was Christian, so the authorities of Azerbaijan are
tolerant", Sharmazanov said.
