| Путин предлагает восстанавливать Агдам совместно |

Применима ли «теория малых дел» в Карабахе?
Андрей Арешев
Согласно сложившейся традиции, каждое сколь-нибудь важное в информационном плане событие, где бы оно ни происходило, азербайджанская пропаганда пытается использовать по полной программе. Большая пресс-конференция Президента РФ В.Путина не стала исключением. В вопросе журналиста бакинского агентства «Трэнд» вновь прозвучали рассчитанные разве что на неподготовленную публику «миллион беженцев» и «оккупация Арменией территории Азербайджана».
Однако ожидания вытянуть из российского Президента горячее одобрение «территориальной целостности Азербайджана» явно не оправдались. ( Читать дальше... ) |

 Two days ago here in Yerevan I had a nice conversation with a cab-driver. Actually it wasn't even a conversation but a monolog. His monolog. First he asked me if I had seen the broadcast of the Hrant Dink's funeral and what I thought about it. «I rarely watch TV» — I answered, which is true: usually I do not watch TV. I had seen Dink's funeral though, but kept that to myself not to influence his opinion anyhow. So he continued: «It's all bullshit. They just ordered people to go to the streets and stage a show there, you know?» Then he talked about lots of other subjects, from coming elections to Putin to Iraq, and most of his opinions were rather sober and smart. However, what he said about the funeral was the most important to me. It's nice to know that at least, not all of my compatriots have lost their minds these days. At some point I was ready to hug him, then decided to limit my gratitude to a generous tip.
Yesterday CNN-Turk aired an amateur video taken in the police station where the assassin of Hrant Dink was kept. You can watch it here. No need to know Turkish to understand what‘s going on there. Police officers pose with the killer and there is a Turkish flag in the background. Later the guy holds another flag, and the policemen are again next to him posing. Yes, they treat him like a hero and I will not be surprised to know that they asked for autographs after this joyfull filming-session. «Hey, Aygul, look what I've got here. An autograph from the Ogun himself! What Ogun? Oh woman, don't you watch any TV?! That guy who killed that infidel dog!»
Sounds crazy? Not really. We have the example of Ramil Safarov becoming a celebrity like that, don't we? |
