A BBC interview with Azerbaijani President\u00a0Ilham Aliyev\u00a0appeared in November 2020 and caused an unprecedented resonance. The Internet users paid special attention to the part where the President responded quite clearly to the accusations of the journalist about alleged \u2018existing censorship\u2019 and \u2018crackdown on the opposition,\u2019 and again pointed to the same \u2018double standards\u2019 of the West?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

He mentioned journalist Julian Assange and retorted the question: \u201cHow do you assess what happened to Mr Assange? Isn’t it the reflection of free media in your country?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The journalist was confused and tried to change the topic of the conversation.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was this part that foreign users liked so much: they publish it on Twitter and actively comment on it,\u00a0“Q\u0130A.az”\u00a0<\/a><\/strong>informs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis interview illustrates the supreme arrogance of BBC journalists. They have no respect other than for fellow members of their elite. This is why they behave as they do towards our own democratically elected leaders. Without courtesy, without respect,\u201d a Twitter user wrote.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAside from the Armenia and Azerbaijan issue, this man is speaking the type of common sense and truth that is so absent from the British media. In Britain, the media is \u2018free\u2019 as long as it operates within the parameters set by big business and Establishment issues: so not free,\u201d \u00c1dhamh Sophur commented on this video.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is while businessman Paul Brennan called Ilham Aliyev \u201cA man of clearly incredible taste and attention to detail.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHe grilled her. I am so happy. That is how western media journalists should be scrutinized using solid evidence. Sir, you hit the nail on the head. Hats off!\u201d another Twitter user wrote.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Interest in this interview is growing every day, so far it has been viewed by over 3 million people. Until now, not a single article, statement, interview or speech from Azerbaijan has gained such a number of views in the international arena. This interview with foreign media demonstrates that during the war, the President defended the interests of Azerbaijan not only on the battlefield, but also in the information war.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The BBC hadn\u2019t prepared for this moment and it was beautiful. pic.twitter.com\/TY859XCSzV<\/a>\u2014 Pelegeesi (@UgRwah) May 5, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
