Who and why gave Ilham a six-month time-out? Atanesyan

The former deputy of the NKR Central Committee, publicist Vahram Atanesyan, wrote on his Facebook page.

"In 2003, there was anarchy in Azerbaijan for several months. Heydar Aliyev was dead in the Cleveland Clinic's refrigerator morgue. In the house of the Aliyevs, they were biting each other's throats for the post of president. It was the best moment to solve the Nagorno-Karabakh problem.

Who and why gave Ilham a six-month time-out to seize power, break the backbone of the opposition, and then renounce his father's negotiating legacy? Another question is interesting. Why did negotiations with Ilham Aliyev begin not with the mediation of Russia, Armenia's strategic ally, but with the mediation of France?

PS: The body of Heydar Aliyev was transported from Cleveland to Baku by a Russian plane. "Moscow has taken over the secret of even the last "trip" of the KGB general."
