Sobhani: Western media should praise, not criticize Azerbaijan

Baku, Azerbaijan, Sept.23

By Aygun Badalova - Trend:

Azerbaijan stands alone in a sea of chaos in global affairs, CEO of the US Caspian Group Holdings Rob Sobhani told Trend Sept.23.

“Its [Azerbaijani] leadership has been wise, independent, responsible and forward thinking. If the people of Azerbaijan have the choice to vote for more of the same via a referendum, then it is their right and no one can criticize them,” said Sobhani commenting on criticism of Azerbaijan by western institutions and organizations on the eve of the referendum on making amendments to the constitution.

What is important to realize is the total ineptitude of Western powers at solving more pressing issues such as global terrorism, the crisis in Syria and its subsequent refugee crisis, he said.

The expert pointed out that over 250,000 Syrians have lost their lives, 4 million people are homeless, Africa is struggling with massive poverty and North Korea is on the verge of starting a nuclear war with its neighbours.

“In this situation, the Western media should praise, not criticize Azerbaijan for being a stable country, with religious tolerance and at peace with its neighbours,” added Sobhani.
