An Azerbaijani success story. President Aliev opens the new campus of the Azerbaijan Diplomatic Academy.

22 September 2012

The President of Azerbaijan, Ilham Aliev, has inaugurated the new campus of the Azerbaijan Diplomatic Academy in Baku

The Academy is a school of international relations established under the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Azerbaijan in March 2006. Its main objective is to train specialists for a diplomatic career in Azerbaijani foreign affairs and its founding rector is Dr. Hafiz Pashayev, who is a Deputy Foreign Minister of Azerbaijan and a former ambassador of Azerbaijan to the United States.

The Academy, initially established to train Azerbaijani diplomats prior to their posting overseas, now receives students from all over the world. The Academy is considered a real success story for Azerbaijan, establishing a reputation for professionalism and attracting high quality students and academics. Some see this success as being due to the ability of the Academy leadership to distance themselves from negative practises common in most Azerbaijani institutions of higher education.

After opening the new campus the Azerbaijani President addressed a meeting of heads of Azerbaijani diplomatic missions overseas.

Bidzina Ivanishvili, founder and honorary chairman of the Georgian Dream party, addressed a large crowd of supporters in Georgia's capital Tbilisi on Monday, 29 April as the standoff between Government and opposition continues. In a fiery speech, considered as the most radical of his political career, Ivanishvili lambasted the US and NATO, accusing them of seeing Georgia only as cannon fodder. He slammed the country's opposition and civil society and promised a heavy handed approach towards the opposition following next October elections. The mask that had hid the true Ivanishvili for the last twelve years finally fell. Ivanishvili accused NGOs of trying to organise a revolution and threatened all those who oppose him. He said "I know many of our supporters were dissatisfied that we did not punish the United National Movement enough. Even though many of their leaders spent time in prison and their leader [Saakashvili] is still in prison, it is true that we did not pass the UNM in a tribunal as such, did not condemn it as a treasonous, criminal entity that it is. Why did not we do it? Because we were under tremendous pressure. In fact, UNM was appointed the opposition [in 2012] just like they were appointed as government [in 2003] by the global party of war. The Georgian people should decide the country’s fate. After the [victory in] elections, we will issue a strict political and legal condemnation to the collective UNM [meaning NGOs and political opponents]; it will get the due punishment it deserves. They will pay for all the crimes against the Georgian people."
