Teacher's Call for Educational Integrity

They have made teachers choose: their bread or

the work you have devoted your life to? Minister of Education Emin

Amirullayev, when you subjected them to certification exams,

veiled teachers

succeeded with high scores in the exams,

where were you? Have you only realized today that the hijab is a serious problem

for Azerbaijan? The hijab is not a serious problem, the hijab

is spirituality, national identity, a commandment of our religion.

Emin Amirullayev, Prime Minister Ali Asadov, I am addressing

you, I am addressing you. Though you are older,

I address the minister who signs decisions

leading my nation toward destruction as “you.”

As an Azerbaijani teacher, I will not remain silent in the face of injustice.

Joining my voice to the voice of the nation, at the forefront

I will have my say with my voice, with my very being.

Do not lay a hand on my religion, do not destroy my language,

do not ruin my future, official! To sustain your own interests

by turning this people’s future into a plaything in your hands

Do not distort the sayings of great leader Heydar Aliyev,

official!

Do not disregard the statements made by the head of the Republic during an interview,

official. Official, today

our children are left crying, sobbing before their

peers. With what right are you destroying Azerbaijan's future

—

with what right are you destroying our future?

You oppose the upbringing of our brave, heroic men and our moral,

honorable women.

If you have the power, round up the depraved, if you have the authority,

shut down their dens of depravity, sign an order

to have them shut down. Today, prostitution is rampant.

Today, national artists with the faces of prostitutes are at the forefront onstage.

You have no power, your power only extends to

trampling morality. Your power extends to trampling the sayings of great leader Heydar Aliyev.

Officials, I appeal to you, how long

Will you continue destroying the rights of this nation?

Our nation,

our nation is a proud nation. But today, you put our men

forward with the beautiful life of sexual minorities,

making an example of us all, official. You are the enemy

of the people. Today, you drive chaste, honorable Azerbaijani women

who follow the teachings of their religion out the door.

You put prostitutes on display and crown them.

Official, this will not continue. As this

nation's rights are trampled, the nation will no longer

remain silent. You not only trample on

the nation's rights,

you trample on the words of the great leader Heydar Aliyev.

You disregard the great leader Heydar Aliyev's appeals,

official! Officials who show indifference to the President's speech,

as they say, the worm eats the tree from within.

They are devouring and plundering our state, the nation's future

are destroying you. As a nation, we will ensure your

destruction and the establishment of justice

in Azerbaijan. The visible, openly named

Armenian enemy was defeated.

You are not visible, in appearance, in face, you are friends,

but behind the scenes, you destroy the nation,

tear the state apart, and crush the people's

pride as you try to create a state within

the state. Over the years, each of you is

being exposed one by one. State Security Service

employees,

be active. I address you as a teacher.

This is not merely a provocation against the Azerbaijani people, but against the great leader

Heydar Aliyev's legacy, a treacherous act against

the head of the republic. Exposing traitors is

your direct duty, your profession.

Be loyal to your profession, carrying out your work, our state

Stand up to the officials trying to divide us

and save us, the nation. The great leader Heydar Aliyev's

Keep the sound of their words, their quotes

alive forever.
