YEREVAN, SEPTEMBER 2, ARMENPRESS: Le Monde periodical compared the regime of Ilham Aliyev with ISIL(Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant). Armenpress reports about it, citing the article, published in the French newspaper Le Monde titled “Ilham Aliyev’s regime should be stopped in Azerbaijan”.  

The authors of the article compared the case of the Armenian Karen Petrosyan killed by Azerbaijanis, the beheading of the American journalist James Foley by the ILIS and another murder committed several days before that, the victim of which was dressed in a soldier’s uniform (when taken captive, he was wearing jeans and sneakers) to represent him as a rival’s special service agent.

“The regime of Ilham Aliyev is one of the most repressive regimes of our planet. It is periodically mentioned by international organizations such as Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch and Reporters sans Frontières. It is of a great threat to its own citizens, even for ethnic Azeris, the evidence of which is the illegal arrests of Leila and Arif Yunus and Rasuf Jafarov. In these conditions it is not difficult to imagine what destiny would have the Armenians of the Nagorno Karabakh, who have already tasted the germs of that destiny back in 1990, when the pogroms, organized by the Azerbaijani regime, gave birth to the establishment of an independent state of Armenians”, - says the periodical.
