How do you know what's the situation in that country? Are you from Azerbaijan?


are you kidding?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heydar_Aliyev

ruled 1969-1987, 1993-2003, passed the throne to his son:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ilham_Aliyev

"In 2009, following his reelection as president, Aliyev passed a referendum which removed the presidential consecutive term limit, thereby allowing him to run for president as many times as he wishes. Opposition claimed this to be a violation of the Azerbaijani constitution and the European convention on human rights.[13] It is widely expected that Aliyev will win the 2013 presidential elections.[14]"

and i have no doubts he will win :)


Not who you were replying to, but that's not 100% foolproof argument. We know plenty of things about places/countries/things without being there.


Those "plenty of things" change dramatically from one news source to another. I stopped listening/reading to political news 3 years ago and I feel so happy.

on behalf of everyone trying to stop the downward spiral of HN post quality, I thank you for not finishing it.
