“Statue Prisoners”  




May 10th is celebrated as former President Heydar Aliyev’s birthday. Millions of dollars are spent by government to bring flowers to Baku and decorate the city and celebrate this day as “Flower Holiday”



2 Azerbaijani activists Giyas Ibrahimov and Bayram Mammadov have painted slogan on Heydar Aliyev’s statue “Happy Slaves’ Day” and “Fuck the System”

In Azerbaijani Language “ Gul” means flower but “qul’ means slave.

The ministry of Interior have said “We have searched flats of Qiyas and Ibrahim and found 10 kilos of heroin in their flat” Lawyer Faiz Namazli said “ Activists are accused of drug trafficking because defacing a monument is not a punishable act”

He has also mentioned that monument of Heydar Aliyev is not counted as cultural heritage. Its an ordinary monument and it does not have special importance for our country. Government could just give administrative punishment to the Youth.

Bayram have written “  3 men pushed me to car and took me to police department. In there they hit me and asked me why did I photograph the statue.  Then they took me to general and said if I appologise the monument in front of Azerbaijan national TV (AZTV) they will allow me to go. But I rejected and they hit me again.

In 2007 Azerbaijan have spent 15 million dollars on flowers day when majority of Azeri people are living in poverty.

If you had an opportunity to meet president, what would you tell him?

I remember as a kid I would read a lot of books. I started with reading different tales. One thing I never forget and would love to apply to my country today. In those tales King (Padishah) would wear old clothes and would become unrecognizable. He would walk around the city, talk to people ask them questions about "How the King manages the country? What do you think of King?" People would never recognize him and share their problems or positive opinions about the King. At the end King would go back to his kingdom and start doing reforms for the best future of his kingdom. But today? Do president really hears people's problems? If someone would talk about the problems of country today he/she would get arrested as some of the NIDA members. "Azadliq" (Freedom) Radio Station has interviewed random people from different proffesional backgorunds in the city of Baku. The question was: if you had an opportunity to meet president what would you tell him? The ...
