HEYDAR ALIYEV LEFT FOR U.S.A. FOR TREATMENT
Today Heydar Aliyev left for the U.S.A. He will participate in the work of the International Economic Forum in New York. According to the information of Baku mass media, health problems are the real reason of Aliyev's overseas trip. It is reported that Azeri President will take medical treatment in the Cleveland clinic. His health condition causes disturbance of many people in Baku. Taking into consideration that censorship allows Baku newspapers printing Aliyev's photos taken at least ten years ago and prohibits TV cameramen taking close-up of the President, it can be concluded that he is obviously out of form.
