The daily Azg writes that the amusing situation reached its pick: seeing that Moscow is not exerting pressure on Armenia, Paris “loves Armenia and humiliates Azerbaijan” and the USA does not have much time and resources to get concerned about the regional conflicts, the “first figure” of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev has made an unprecedented step: he is fencing the Karabakhi-Azerbaijani border. The paper says, according to Azerbaijani half-official 1news.az, the construction of the wall started in the territory of Akn (Aghdam) region: “The height of the wall is more than 3 meters. Its construction will ensure the security of innocent people, will allow them return to their homes. It is a big issue as from 78 houses 24 are empty, ” Gabilia Abbasov representative of the Azerbaijani local self-governmental body stated.
The paper says for Baku striving to enter Europe “without walls” “the Azerbaijani Wall” on the NKR border besides being curious is also very symbolizing: first with its own hand Baku clearly divides its borders “its territory from its territory”, secondly Azerbaijani subversive groups will hardly manage to pass the wall without impediments for entering the territory of Nagorno Karabakh, besides if our shots do not reach them, neither their shots will reach us. But on the other hand says the daily gates may be created for subversive groups. Nevertheless, says the paper, irrespective of everything, the most important in this wall building is that Azerbaijani president gets to know slowly that Nagorno Karabakh is “on the other side of the wall”.
