Foreign Policy Journal: International community should criticize both Azerbaijan and North Korea

In Azerbaijan, another dictator who also inherited power from his father, Ilham Aliyev, continuously uses bellicose rhetoric and threatening to restart a war against its neighboring Armenia and Nagorno Karabakh. Aliyev and his regime are known as one of the most corrupted in the world, reads the article published in American analytical “Foreign Policy Journal” where the author draws parallels between Azerbaijan and North Korea.

 

The article reads that Azerbaijan’s warmongering should not be ignored since a new war in the South Caucasus could also turn quite catastrophic. Taking into consideration the arms build-up launched by Azerbaijan and its continuing weapons accumulation, a new war could devastate a whole region and cause dire humanitarian consequences for all sides of the conflict, the article reports.

 

The article also reads that if the international community desires peace and stability in the South Caucasus, it should take Azerbaijan to task for North Korean style rhetoric. Azerbaijan’s Aliev should as also stop his hate rhetoric, and prepare his country for peace by ruling out military solutions and refraining from threats to use force as urged by the United States and the rest of international community. Otherwise, while brandishing their arms, dictators of all kinds will continue to blackmail the world while seeking to keep their compatriots captive in their dictatorial systems.
