I have always thought that a bribe taker is selling his conscience. Taking bribe is humiliation. It’s a prostitution. I cannot understand this. If I didn’t come to the Writers’ Union, I would be killed. Because it does not depend where you work in an administrative system, you should take from them and give to the upper-class. Otherwise, you‘ll break this rule. If you go out of this pyramid, you will become their enemy.
Money is the leading force of the society. Much depends on how you earn this money. May be that’s why I’m saying that I’m lucky. I have a special talent, I can earn money. Others cannot find money and become thieves. I haven’t earned illegal money yet. Because Allah will punish such people, sooner or later. I have tried to show this in my writings. Noone can say that Chingiz Abdullayev has taken bribes from me or has done something against me. Not a woman can say that I have deceived her. I don’t know if there is an afterlife or not, but a person must at least dare to look at the eyes of people in this world. That is very important.
