    TREND Information, Azerbaijan
    Oct 31 2006

    The orders on pardon signed by the President have put an end to an
    issue on political prisoners in the country, MP Fazil Ibrahimov,
    a member of the Azerbaijani delegation to PACE (Parliamentary
    Assembly of Council of Europe, said, expressing his attitude toward
    expressions connected with the necessity on making a report connected
    with political prisoners inn Azerbaijan to be prepared by Andreas
    Herkel, Trend reports.

    The Azerbaijani MP said, that the PACE Co-Rapporteurs for Azerbaijan
    have expressed their positions toward all issues connected with
    the economic, political, spiritual, and democratic situation in
    the country, including an issue on political prisoners. "I wish the
    reports they to prepare, will reflect the reality. I wish people saw
    them as they are, not either in a black or white tones", he said.

    Mr. Ibrahimli pointed out that an issue on political prisoners has
    been closed in Azerbaijan. "The orders on pardon signed by the
    President have put an end to an issue on political prisoners in
    the country. However, we could treat this issue from two different
    aspectsõ. The first lies in functioning of special NGOs which are
    not interested the development of democracy and law enforcement
    in the country. They obtain money from different people and put
    certain persons to the lists of political prisoners. Those who are
    linked with Armenians are among them as well. If there are persons
    who were convicted for their political points of view in Azerbaijan,
    then it might harm the whole country. And we ought to do our best to
    avoid it", he said.
