3. Biodata of Dr. Hamyoon Azizi: Meshrano Jirga appointed Humayun Azizi to the post of Minister of Parliamentary Affairs (OMSPA) as a replacement to Mohammad Anwar Jegdalek. Upon his induction as Minister, Azizi was called upon by members of the Jirga to improve relations between the parliament and the executive branch of government.
Humayun Azizi, who headed Herat’s Provincial Council, told a western reporter in 2009 that Ismail Khan “didn’t permit any violence and wouldn’t let anyone disobey his commands.” He continued, “There was no democracy here. Now there is democracy, and this is why it is difficult to control. The press is free and people speak their minds. This democracy is something you brought.” Azizi’s tone sounded strangely incriminating. The reporter asked him if democracy in Afghanistan was a good or a bad thing. “It’s bad. Democracy is not a postcard that you can send from the United States to countries like Afghanistan and Iraq.” |
