YEREVAN, 17 DECEMBER, ARMENPRESS. President of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev was referred to as a dictator during the “What’s Going On?” TV program aired last evening on CNNTurk. This has caused uproar in Azerbaijan.

As “ArmenPress” reports, during discussions on issues on the agenda with several mass media representatives, journalist for the “Yeni Shafag” newspaper Mustafa Akyol talked about the closure of modern Islamic opinion leader Fethullah Gülen’s educational institutions by the assignment of President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan and said he is against the closure of such institutions. Akyol said he’s also against the fact that Erdoğan also reached an agreement with “Azerbaijan’s dictatorial president” on closing down Gülenian schools during a visit to Baku last year.
