Of course the moment should be recognized, and people should pause to remember what happened when the date of the shooting comes up in the years to come, but I don't understand the appeal of an official day. I'm not trying to argue, just figure out the reasoning.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3800447704339968253.post-29816736364409275612009-05-05T21:51:00.000+03:002009-05-05T21:51:00.000+03:00Sinav,

Yes, 15 million mantas is too much to be spent on such an events. <br /><br />When it comes to the shooting matter and the so called ‘National Mourning Day’ let’s say this is the parliament’s responsibility to assign a day as a national day but not the grassroots. It is humiliating to ignore parliament. <br /><br /> “The Moral Choice” you’re talking about is not typical of Azerbaijan. Millions of money is spent for carnivals, memorials and etc in any part of the world while many still starve to death in their relevant country. <br /><br />By the way, I think you’re kidding about your comparison of Azerbaijanis government and the former Shah of Iran. Your opposition to the Azerbaijanis government is by no means the same as the opposition which the Iranian Shah had faced with.Sınavhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16844716719325202285noreply@blogger.com
