NOBLE IMPULSE UNITED AZERI COMMUNISTS
Once three communist parties were acting at the territory of Azerbaijan. In countries like Azerbaijan, where, according to Chchkhe laws, everything is under control of the "beloved leader", the communist parties, even if there three of them are under control first of all. Azeri communists rarely speak. The other day it however happened. They have collected 60 000 signatures of their members (?) for the withdrawal of the Azeri contingent from Iraq, Caucasian Knot reports. The idea is certainly noble. Che Guevara himself would welcome his Azeri companions-in-arms. However, it is rather strange that communists "woke up" only now. Moreover it is hard to believe that the party has 60 000 members. Unfortunately, the noble impulse of the communists does not seem to be their own initiative. The "thread" goes up to the leader himself. It seems that the leader is a bit nervous because of the policy pursued by the West. Recently a new opposition bloc headed by a Russian General was formed in Azerbaijan, which is however ignored by the authorities, Zerkalo newspaper writes. Now communists have raised their heads. The supreme leader is likely to be discontent with something.
