The Azeri president’s daughter and the Maltese prime minister’s wife
The Azerbaijan government jet which landed in Malta last week, stopping for 24 hours, was carrying the Azeri dictator’s daughter (see pictures).
The Maltese government considers it perfectly normal for government transportation, including government-owned jets, to be used to ferry family members around the world on private visits without press scrutiny or public criticism. It is the same justification used for sending an army helicopter to pick up a Labour MP at home and ferry her to the airport.
The Maltese government also does not seem to bother about the fact that Azerbaijan’s recent elections were rigged, allowing the dictator, whose daughter popped in to Malta to visit, to stay in power with a false semblance of legitimacy.
The Azeri dictator’s daughter, the reason for whose visit remains unexplained, was met at the airport by the Maltese prime minister’s wife, Mrs Muscat, a rather odd choice of welcome party.
The Azeri dictator’s daughter was brought in through the ministerial lounge at the airport. If Francois Hollande’s son comes to Malta for a holiday, will he also be welcomed by Mrs Muscat and processed through the ministerial lounge?
This is what McGill’s meant when they said that Malta is not European in its dealings.

Well done Daphne, and well done to whoever gave you this information.
This is beyond disgusting.
As usual, I’m doing Herman Grech’s work for him:

Orrajt, yes, hi, orrajt? http://www.leyla-aliyeva.az/files/activity/416/cropped/798edd2db13229d8af30f7e201ac2348_1.jpg

Viva Malta hielsa, what? http://www.leyla-aliyeva.az/files/activity/416/cropped/bea03e02d95c9e8cd53500c360946636_1.jpg
Why were they sipping ‘xempejn’? (See the first photo on the links you provided above.) What were they celebrating?
Excellent. Now even Leyla the daughter of the Azeri Dictator can say that she has been “in the presence of the wife of the prime minister of Malta.”
Just like Shiv Nair before her.

See photo in fifth link above and tell me why they are admiring a monkey / baboon.
I wonder what Eddypedia has to say about this “secret” visit.
Mrs Muscat must have taken note of the fact that the Azeri dictator’s daughter does not need much Photoshopping.
She even chose a plane to match the colour of her dress.
That’s the colour of the Maltese prime minister’s ties.
Is this connected?

Yes.
Google translate comes in handy in such situations:

And these Azerbaijan elections were declared fair and transparent by the speaker of the Maltese Parliament who was there as an observer.
The first picture is was taken at the President’s Palace.
The first assignment for the new president is a state visit to Azerbaijan.
Who’s saying she wasn’t used as a diversion tactic for the media, because she did not come alone?
A simple google search reveals that she and corruption may be best friends. So again, why was she in Malta?
I thought it was an emergency landing for refuelling.
No, it wasn’t was it?
It was a lightening visit by the daughter of the undisputed king of international corruption. Toto Reina is a Pinocchio compared to him.
This lady’s father (and his father before him) is the epitome of all that is abhorrent in a human being.
She must have come to collect the family passports.
What talent.
Give us more of the same.
I wonder whether the consort pm had any idea of who she was associating herself with.
BBC World service some three weeks ago carried a whole expose of this woman, her gangster like business methods, her millions and her dramatic falling out with her sibling. Her international business dealings are on the wane. Welcome to Malta.
Wikileaks on the Aliyevs’ Mafia- style business operations.
Got a taste of what doing business in Aliyev’s fiefdom is all about. Once bitten….
I am impressed by the collaboration, the contributions, the camaraderie of this blog.
In four lines, in a couple of seconds, more news reaches us than 24 hours of Super One Spinning manage to broadcast. More impressive is the excellent use of the international media, be it a newspaper, be it the internet. I must say, this is journalism in a class of its own. Inimitable.
Whilst the Azeri pilot was seeing to his plane’s replenishing with jet fuel, his ‘esteemed’ passenger (and, presumably, a handful of comrades, security, etc) were replenishing their maws with bottlefuls of bubbly.
I presume the crowd of admirers who were called in to view the exhibition and while away the ‘esteemed’ passenger’s time (remember, always during the plane’s refueling, we are told) had their share too.
In Maltese we say ‘billu wahda grizmejhom sew’
Quite a ‘harmless’ occasion – giving, at least, a little publicity to Malta in the process.
But, and a big BUT, why on earth was the Maltese public informed simply that the Azerbaijan plane had ‘landed for refueling?’
Can’t our (apologies for the possessive adjective) government ever tell people the truth?
@Observer, refer to them as “Azerbaijani” not ‘Azeri”, lest they get offended.
The plane was in Malta overnight. It arrived on 17th February and left on the 18th.
It is Azerbaijan government property.
