In conversation with a PanARMENIAN.Net reporter, he dubbed Aliyev “totalitarian leader of a totalitarian country.” “Aliyev shows by his cynical remarks that there are still supporters of fascism in the 21st century, and that this ideology flourishes thanks to leaders like him,” parliament vice speaker said, adding that Aliyev’s statement is reminiscent of the 1930s-1940s and Nazi leader Adolf Hitler. Aliyev made the remarks on Armenia during a meeting dedicated to the 20th anniversary of New Azerbaijan Party.
