Aliyeva stopped and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/shorts\/1LHoJged2Gw\" type=\"link\" id=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/shorts\/1LHoJged2Gw\">replied<\/a>, \u201cAre you the one who hid in the embassy in women\u2019s clothes?

Huseynov said he and his organization were being pressured for political reasons, but Azerbaijani officials said the case was related to financial violations. To avoid possible arrest and ensure his safety, Huseynov hid in the Swiss embassy building in Baku. This step was intended to allow him to leave the country safely. He emigrated abroad in 2015.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.meydan.tv\/wp-content\/uploads\/s\u0259nub\u0259r_5-1024x682-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-331057 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1024px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1024\/682;\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Sanubar Heydarli, Photo: Turan<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>\u201cThe response shows the government\u2019s anger\u201d<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Sociologist Sanubar Heydarli told Meydan TV that Mehriban Aliyeva\u2019s response to the journalist\u2019s question actually signals that the Aliyev family is currently very angry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>\u201cThis ruling family usually ignores independent journalists\u2019 questions and passes without reaction. This time, however, both of them reacted because they were angry over Mehman Huseynov\u2019s videos about their daughter-in-law, Alyona Aliyeva. In Mehriban Aliyeva\u2019s response to Emin Huseynov, there is an attempt to humiliate the journalist. Unfortunately, although she is the Vice-President and a woman, she makes this attempt to humiliate through her gender and clothing. With this response, we also see how alien the topics of women\u2019s rights, women\u2019s legal rights, and the role of women in various processes are to the Azerbaijani government.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>Emin Huseynov\u2019s brother, <strong>Mehman Huseynov<\/strong>, has been producing a series of videos about the presidential family, particularly about the family\u2019s daughter-in-law, <strong>Alyona Aliyeva<\/strong>. Mehman Huseynov has stated that the videos were made in response to being blackmailed to stop his activities, claiming they recorded intimate moments over five years through hidden cameras installed in his bedroom.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Sanubar Heydarli notes that after these words from the First Vice-President, it would look absurd for her to speak about women\u2019s rights in any international forum:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>\u201cBecause she turned the issue of women\u2019s clothing into a tool for humiliation. This indicates that Mehriban Aliyeva believes this is somehow a flaw. In our actions, we have always used expressions like \u2018fight as a woman,\u2019 \u2018strike as a woman.\u2019 This shows that for us, the idea of \u2018being brave like a man\u2019 does not exist; it is essential to be brave as a woman. This issue is very important because official circles and high-ranking people still do not fully understand this principle. Even if they consider themselves in line with ultra-modern world standards, they have not escaped patriarchal thinking.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"672\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.meydan.tv\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/screenshot-2026-02-16-at-15.37.37-1200x672.png\" alt=\"Leyla Mustafayeva, foto: VOA\" class=\"wp-image-341706 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1200px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1200\/672;\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Leyla Mustafayeva, photo: VOA<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong><strong>\u201cHow bad has the situation in your country become that a person has to disguise themselves like this to defend themselves?\u201d<\/strong><\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Journalist Leyla Mustafayeva told Meydan TV that Mehriban Aliyeva\u2019s words directly answered the journalist\u2019s question about the state of democracy in the country:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>\u201cIn fact, Mehriban Aliyeva\u2019s reply to the journalist was personally humiliating, even though the question concerned the state of democracy in the country. From this arises a question: how bad is the situation in your country that a person has to disguise themselves like this to defend themselves? With her answer, Mehriban Aliyeva showed everyone that the state of democracy in Azerbaijan is still as it was in 2014 when the repression started\u2014if not worse.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She added that it would be incorrect to call the media that spread Mehriban Aliyeva\u2019s words \u201cmedia\u201d:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>\u201cThey are servants of the regime. Whatever orders come from the Presidential Administration, they execute.

When you analyze the troll comments under posts like \u2018Mehriban Aliyeva responded appropriately,\u2019 you see many repeat each other.
