The magazine «Russian Reporter» published a reportage in November, where the author Shura Burtin represents his interview with Azerbaijani writer Akram Aylisli and his trip to Baku and village Aylisli.
the article notes that when the government of Azerbaijan made Ramil Safarov a hero in 2012, famous Azerbaijani writer Akram Aylisli published his «Stone dreams», which is on the massacres of the Armenians in winter in Baku. Journalist Shura Burtin draws parallels how Azerbaijani society accepts Akram Aylisli and Ramil Safarov, and its attitude towards Akram Aylisli and Ramil Safarov. To the author’s surprise the Azerbaijani speaks about Ramil Safarov with excitement. But the author of the article mentions «The resident of Baku is not bloodthirsty, simply no one believes that Safarov killed the sleeping Armenian officer with an axe without reasons. According to Azerbaijani official source the Armenian officer insulted Ramil, cleaned his shoes with Azerbaijani flag, spat on it». Shara Buritn notices that the Azerbaijani society was under the ideological pressure of the Government, which falsifies the historical facts. According to the author, ideological pressure is everywhere in this country. The journalist mentions that videos about Heydar Aliyev are shown even in the airplane.In this article Shura Burtin tells about his trip to village Aylis as well. The author expresses his admiration towards the Armenian churches, which are destroyed under the patronship of the state. «Azerbaijan denies the fact of destroying the monuments. during last eight years the foreign journalists, representatives of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe, deputies of the European Parliament, and even the ambassador of USA are banned to visit Nakhichevan», mentions the journalist.
In the village Aylis the Russian journalist was arrested by National security of Azerbaijan, which, during the questioning, tried to find out, whether the journalist was an Armenian spy or not. Meanwhile the journalist simply tried to find out the reasons of Azerbaijani aggression and came to conclusion that the Azerbaijani society is a victim of Azerbaijani propaganda.
