Ilham Aliyev about Medvedev: Many don't recognize Medvedev as a leader
“Two heads cannot be boiled in one pot,” this is Russia’s domestic situation description by President of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev.
According to Wikileaks unveiled documents, President of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev had a frank talk with Under Secretary of State for Political Affairs William Burns.
“Many high-ranking officials don't recognize Medvedev as a leader,” He said adding that there are signs of a strong confrontation between the teams of the two men, although not yet between Putin and Medvedev personally.
According to the documents Aliyev said he has personally witnessed Medvedev taking decisions that then required further approval before they were implemented, referring specifically to a border demarcation agreement that he had agreed with Medvedev only to have it stymied by ""others,"" presumably in the prime ministerial office.
