REFERRING to the report, “Mexico City removes Azerbaijan leader’s statute”, published in The Star on Jan 28, based on an AFP report, it is necessary to mention that Azerbaijan enjoys economic prosperity thanks to the solid foundation laid by the national leader Heydar Aliyev in 1993-2003.
Thanks to his economic vision, Azerbaijan is now capable of making significant investments into economies of countries around the world, including Mexico. As a token of appreciation of Azerbaijani investments, the Mexico City Government decided to erect a monument of the Azerbaijani national leader in August 2012. Therefore, the decision to remove the monument six months later is a sign of inconsistency.
