Azerbaijan, Baku, July 21 / Trend M. Aliyev /
Establishing a new Union of Cinematographers is normal, Azerbaijani Presidential Administration Social and Political Department Head Ali Hasanov said today.
"If Rustam Ibrahimbeyov thinks that the entire Azerbaijani society must be grateful to him for a couple of films, this is the wrong position," Hasanov has told Trend today. He was commenting on Ibrahimbeyov's statement.
"Cinema must develop in Azerbaijan," Hasanov said. "It must be developed by the individuals who may contribute to the common cause, rather than incapable people."
"I have found myself in the sphere I am involved in," Hasanov added. "I am satisfied with my current position both morally and financially. I am harmoniously involved in Azerbaijani political life."
"Rustam Ibrahimbeyov is miserable as he rushes between cinematography, in which he succeeded at the expense of other individuals, and business," he said. "He can neither return money obtained by fraud from businessmen in Moscow, nor implement a project of a restaurant network in Baku. Rustam Ibrahimbeyov looks miserable in this situation. If I were him, I would rest a little."
