New Azerbaijan Party investigates social network calls for 11 March meeting

09 March 2011 11:28 (UTC +04:00)

â€œIt was also identified that falsified number of those who joined these calls was shown on social networks. Few people joined this call and most of them are living abroad. On the other hand, the people involved in 11 March groups were involved in other groups earlier and later they were misappropriated. They had other names. They changed names several times and misappropriated the numbers of people involved in the groups of youth education, free time and others. We attached attention to other nuance. There were young Armenians introducing themselves as the supporters of 11 March group. They sent messages in Armenian that they also joined this movement. A ridiculous situation was created there: They want to hold actions in Baku, Azerbaijan, but most of them are living abroad, and some in Armenia. Does the Armenian come to Baku to participate in the meeting? It is very ridiculous. This fact shows that radical opposition is ready to work with Armenians against Azerbaijan. It doesnâ€™t surprise because these people â€“ particularly Isa Gambar and Ali Karimli â€“ are known for their ignoble, anti-national actions in the history of Azerbaijani policies. They use the peopleâ€™s feelings for their private interests. That is why I can not imagine any mass action, unrest in Baku, Azerbaijan neither on March 11 nor March 12 because Azerbaijani youth supports President Ilham Aliyevâ€™s policy. Azerbaijani students studying abroad send us thousands letters and condemn uproar occurred related to March 11. We also see it in messages to different groups created by YAP youth in social networks. On the other hand, today, Azerbaijan has sustainable developmentâ€.

Gurbanli said that such actions like drawing the country into chaos, fulfilling orders of some forces acting against the interests of the country have been rejected by Azerbaijani nation: â€œIt is rejected today, and will be rejected tomorrow too. I think that only imitation stands behind the uproar raised by Isa Gambar and his supporters. The purpose of this imitation is to show their existence and nothing more. Persons joining their call are less than 0.1% in Azerbaijan. That is why calls will not give any resultâ€.

Gurbanli also took stance on writings about deployment of troops in Baku: â€œFirstly, there is no need to deploy troops against the nonexistent force. And the second, the duty of Azerbaijani Army is to protect independence and security of our country, especially to repulse Armenian aggression in Karabakh.

The current situation in Azerbaijan is so stable that there is no necessity to use the army against the minority which attempts to take to the streets. There are enough supporters of the policy of Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev and there are more than 500 thousand members of the New Azerbaijan Party led by him. We have enough power to struggle against some forces in political and ideological plan. Thatâ€™s why such writings by some newspapers, especially in â€œYeni Musavatâ€ and â€œAzadligâ€, that â€œthe army is deployedâ€ and â€œexercise is conductedâ€, are nothing but lie. From the other side, if the army conducts exercise, it aims to be strengthened against occupant Armenia but not the Azerbaijani people. They want to confuse public opinion with such writingsâ€.
