5日,一则阿塞拜疆总统阿利耶夫接受BBC采访的视频流传网络。这段采访发生在去年11月,于近日引发热议。BBC记者就当时亚阿冲突询问阿利耶夫阿塞拜疆是否有新闻自由,阿利耶夫首先介绍阿塞拜疆国内的情况,随后反问记者称如何看待阿桑奇的遭遇。BBC记者显然没有准备,阿利耶夫继续追问 ,并直指要害称“你们没有权利讨论自由媒体”。这位记者试图转移话题,但阿利耶夫仍继续反击,还表示记者的口气就像检察官。最后阿里耶夫问道“如果你们真的很民主客观,阿桑奇为什么会在监狱里?

President Ilham Aliyev has said his forces are winning the ongoing Nagorno-Karabakh conflict and said Armenia’s “opportunities to compromise are shrinking”.
Fighting has flared in the territory, which is internationally recognised as part of Azerbaijan, but governed by ethnic Armenians backed by the Armenian government.
The president said he saw no possibility of peace with the Armenian Prime Minister, Nikol Pashinyan.
Since his interview with the BBC’s Orla Guerin he has announced the capture of a key town in the disputed territory, although Armenia says fighting is ongoing.
