ASALA has not threatened to Azerbaijani Embassy in Budapest

"We categorically deny the misinformation spread by the Azerbaijani authorities that our organization has sent threatening letters to their embassy in  Budapest," says the Refutation Statement disseminated by The Armenian Secret Army for the Liberation of Armenia (ASALA) on September 11, 2012.

Further in the statement: "As an organization, the Armenian Secret Army for the Liberation of Armenia (ASALA) has never engaged into any activity concerning the colonial and expansionist policy of Azerbaijan, and consequently we deny such misleading, fake news and declarations in our name.

The Republic of Azerbaijan has turned into a hereditary, despotic and royal-like regime by the "Aliev Dynasty" which spreads such childish misinformation in a desperate attempt to divert the international public attention that was caused by the immoral act of pardoning of the sentenced killer Ramil Safarov.

The World has witnessed how the Army of the heroic people of Artsakh (Mountainous Karabakh) equipped with braveness and morality, in the name of Homeland, Freedom and Independence, by themselves and without any external support, managed to completely destroy Aliyev's timid mercenaries, who as it seems are only capable of cowardly murdering  sleeping Armenian soldiers with an axe, thus becoming Aliyev Dynasty's "typical hero" thereby manifesting to the entire world the Azerbaijani interpretation of Justice and International Law.


The liberation of the western portion of Armenia was and remains the main purpose of the Armenian Diaspora and, naturally, ASALA's main mission. As such we do not divert from our mission. Turkey cannot avoid the judgment of history for the annihilation of millions of innocent Armenians. Turkey cannot establish a state over the relics of a massacred people.

The renaissance of the people of the region knocks the door to Ankara's colonial regime. There is no doubt that Armenian and Kurdish people will restore their denied rights and liberate their Homelands from the Turkish occupation.

Victory to the Armenian people!

Justice to all people deprived of their rights!"

Earlier Azerbaijani Mass Media reported that ASALA allegedly sent threatening letters to the Embassy of Azerbaijan in Hungary after extradition of Azerbaijani officer Ramil Safarov, who was sentenced to life in prison for murdering Armenian officer in Budapest.

Lula wins fourth term in Brazil, Vucic loses in Serbia

Lula wins fourth term in Brazil, Vucic loses in Serbia

In elections on both sides of the Atlantic, that are likely to have deep implications for their respective regions, one incumbent won, another lost. In Brazil, Latin America's biggest country, left-wing President Lula won a fourth term in office, defeating his right-wing challenger Flávio Bolsonaro. The 80-year-old, took just under 52% of the vote in a run-off on Sunday. Lula thanked cheering supporters in São Paulo and said he had defended Brazil's democracy. His opponent, Flavio Bolsonaro - who won the first round - says the result is "inexplicable" and called for it to be annulled. His father, ex-president Jair Bolsonaro, is currently serving a jail sentence under house arrest for plotting a coup after losing the last election. This election was bitterly fought - and it bucks a wider regional trend towards right-wing leaders. On the other side of the Atlantic, in Serbia, long-standing leader Aleksandar Vučić has admitted defeat to the student-led protest movement in snap parliamentary elections. "We still do not have final results... it is clear that we have lost these elections," the right-wing populist leader said as he conceded late on Sunday. Preliminary figures from Serbia's election commission indicated a record high turnout, which commentators had suggested would favour the student movement. Celebrations erupted after Vučić conceded. Vučić called the snap elections after two years of protests triggered by the collapse of a train station canopy in the city of Novi Sad, which killed 16 and was seen as emblematic of corruption and negligence. Both election results are going to have a deep impact on their respective regions.

Thursday Interview: Murad Muradov

Thursday Interview: Murad Muradov

Today, commonspace.eu starts a new regular weekly series. THURSDAY INTERVIEW, conducted by Lauri Nikulainen, will host  persons who are thinkers, opinion shapers, and implementors in their countries and spheres. We start the series with an interview with Murad Muradov, a leading person in Azerbaijan's think tank community. He is also the first co-chair of the Action Committee for a new Armenian-Azerbaijani Dialogue. Last September he made history by being the first Azerbaijani civil society activist to visit Armenia after the 44 day war, and the start of the peace process. Speaking about this visit Murad Muradov said: "My experience was largely positive. My negative expectations luckily didn’t play out. The discussions were respectful, the panel format bringing together experts from Armenia, Azerbaijan, and Turkey was particularly valuable during the NATO Rose-Roth Seminar in Yerevan, and media coverage, while varied in tone, remained largely constructive. Some media outlets though attempted to represent me as more of a government mouthpiece than an independent expert, which was totally misleading.  Overall, I see these initiatives as important steps in rebuilding trust and normalising professional engagement. The fact that soon a larger Azerbaijani civil society visits to Armenia followed, reinforces the sense that this process is moving in the right direction."
