Azerbaijani communists support Russiaâ€™s position on South Ossetian and Abkhazian issue

29 August 2008 13:43 (UTC +04:00)

After the collapse of USSR both regions refused to be parts of Georgiaâ€, said Nurullayev.

He said this issue was not similar with Nagorno Karabakh conflict. â€œWe are against nay aggression. I donâ€™t welcome Russiaâ€™s bourgeois diplomacy, but Georgia had not to solve this problem by invasion. We accept the Russiaâ€™s action as an intention to defend South Ossetian and Abkhazian peoplesâ€.

Chairman of Azerbaijan Communist Party Alasgar Khalilov said he positively reacted to the Russiaâ€™s recognition of South Ossetian and Abkhazian independence. â€œGeorgia committed slaughter in South Ossetia and Russia prevented it. Georgians and those peoples have different statehood historyâ€.

Chairman of Azerbaijan United Communist Party Musa Tukanov accused the United States for the last developments. â€œThe United States and Western countries created new order in the world by recognizing Kosovo. Russia is an imperialistic country, but the West is responsible for what happened. Georgia first started military operations. Whatâ€™s it, we condemned massacre in Azerbaijan during USSR time committed by the Soviet Army, but we didnâ€™t condemn Georgian invasion to South Ossetia. I donâ€™t accept it. Georgia was wrong to start military operations in South Ossetia. Mikhail Saakashvili played the baby. Russia sent troops for prevention of slaughter. If Russia didnâ€™t support South Ossetia, it would lose respect in the worldâ€.
