During his visit to Ganja on January 30, President of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev commented on the canceled demonstration of a film about Armenian fascist Garegin Nzhdeh in Russia.
Report informs that the head of state said:
"I think that the Russian public learned about it, and this shameful action did not take place at the demand of the Russian public. But it is also true that I brought this issue to the political plane for the first time. I raised the issue of Nazis in my speeches. I raised the issue before the international organizations and countries, saying that Nazis cannot be glorified. I raised the issue of executioner Nzhdeh in one of my speeches at the CIS summit. I said that the monument to Nzhdeh in the Armenian capital, Yerevan, is propaganda of fascism. This should be put to an end. This man was a fascist, an executioner."
