And at last I have got one more indispensable remembrance. In October 1992 here for the first time we faced with the attempt for coup d’etat. Yes the armed groups of pop front went and occupied the buildings of Ministry of Internal Affairs and television of Autonomous Republic and tried turn out Nakhchivan authority. At that period people for the first time didn’t protect Pop front, but they protected us.

"I would never be involved in an illegal activity. I believe I was related to the coup because I was criticising the Chaudry Government. When Chaudry became Prime Minister he was very unfair to my companies, infrastructure wise, and I was taking him to court and to the media. In the midst of this the coup happened. Mr Qarase, who became the Prime Minister, was previously Assistant Chairman of one of my companies where I was the Chairman. These were the reasons that have caused the rumours. Yes, I did not like the Chaudry government but no, I was not related to the coup plot." (on rumours that he had helped to finance the coup d'état fronted by George Speight in May 2000)

In short, they liberated themselves. Students did the same. Today in Libya, only the people count.

"It is obious that the glorious day of July, 18, 1936 [Franco's coup d'état] was one of the nicest political and social movements that the world remembers. Historians shall admit that the most and best part of the country was the one who raised against the governement, illegal and corrupt, who was preparing the darkest red revolution from the power". 1949

 

Manuel Fraga Iribarne

 

It's really a therapeutic experience for me to begin to write about the coup because I was involved in the 1987 coup and in particular the 2000 coup. For someone who was involved in all the coups it has been difficult for me to open up and write. The fact that I am able to write marks a turning point for me.
