Traitor Guzman is sucking up to both Moscow and Baku, but to Baku "incomparably" more
Mikhail Gusman, former deputy director of TASS, who was fired for openly supporting President Ilham Aliyev's anti-Russian stance and fled Russia, believes that mysterious forces are behind the deterioration of relations between Russia and Azerbaijan.
He stated this to the Azerbaijani television channel CBCTV, commenting on the scandal involving the announcement of three Russian political scientists on the international wanted list for criticizing Baku's anti-Russian line, reports a PolitNavigator correspondent.
"There are forces that are doing everything they can to worsen relations with Azerbaijan. And there are, unfortunately, weaker forces that are trying to maintain them. After all, Azerbaijan and Russia will never be separated. In this situation, we must maintain the utmost ethical tone," Gusman said.
He believes that such hostile forces exist in both Baku and Moscow, but there are supposedly more of them in Russia.
"As Maria Vladimirovna Zakharova noted, there are anti-Russian narratives in Azerbaijani media too. I agree, they do exist. But the ratio is incomparable ," Gusman said.
At the same time, he acknowledged that Russia “ was and is a great country under any circumstances .”
Back in the spring, Guzman called for “ a harsh clampdown on all the obscene people who spew Azerbaijani-hating filth .”
Gusman has real estate, financial and family interests in Azerbaijan.
Traitor Guzman is sucking up to both Moscow and Baku, but he is "incomparably" more so to Baku.
