Azerbaijan, Baku, Feb.23 /Trend S.Agayeva/
The fact that politicians such as Zhirinovsky, is heading the legislative body of the country is very unfortunate, political scientist, Professor of Western University Fikret Sadikhov says.
"It is a great pity that a man like Zhirinovsky has gained credibility among the political elite of Russia, a civilised and powerful country which is friendly to Azerbaijan. It certainly doesn't honour those who create the conditions for the emergence of politicians like Zhirinovsky whose clown type performances, behaviour externally, statements and political programmes make him a real clown," the professor told Trend.
The head of the Liberal Democratic Party Vladimir Zhirinovsky, a candidate for president of Russia, once again defended Armenia noting that if Armenia requests "Russia it will blow up everything to the Persian Gulf. "
Professor Sadikhov noted that Russian society which has grown strong and wise policies were formed using a serious political and scientific elite. Unfortunately, we have to endure someone such as Zhirinovsky and his party which calmly responds to what he says in relation to other countries and especially those that are part of a single Commonwealth of independent States.
"We can only regret that people like Zhirinovsky is among those who define the priorities of the country," the analyst said.
The professor noted that a country that respects itself and its values, its history and aspirations towards a civilised society should not endure such individuals as Zhirinovsky. It is a very serious problem and a big problem not only for those against whom he makes such statements, but for the country which he unfortunately represents
"I am glad that the final decision of large questions of Russia's foreign and domestic policy doesn't depend on Zhirinovsky, "a political scientist said.
