    Azeri leader advises jailed pressure group members to appeal against sentence

    ANS TV, Baku
    2 Sep 04

    [Presenter] The head of state, who is on a visit to Naxcivan
    [Azerbaijani exclave], has commented in an interview with reporters
    on the ruling of [Baku's] Nasimi district court on the members of
    the Karabakh Liberation Organization [KLO].

    [Video of Aliyev, talking to reporters] Of course, as the president
    I cannot intervene in the ruling of the court and I do not want to do
    so. But as a citizen I believe that the punishment is not relevant to
    what they did. This is an extremely severe punishment. As a citizen I
    cannot support the verdict. I think that the next judicial instance
    should reconsider the verdict. I would advise [the convicted KLO
    members] to appeal against the ruling and I hope that the issue can
    be settled in the next instance. At the same time, everybody should
    be equal before the law and one should not idolize any organization
    or person.

    There are authoritative bodies and persons in Azerbaijan to deal with
    the Armenian-Azerbaijani Nagornyy Karabakh conflict: the president,
    foreign minister, defence minister, other appropriate bodies. And we
    know what is the way to struggle.
