    Azeri pressure group warns rights activists against "serving" Armenians

    Azadliq, Baku
    12 Nov 04


    Text of unattributed report by Azerbaijani newspaper Azadliq on
    12 November headlined "The KLO blames human rights activists for
    serving Armenians"

    The Karabakh Liberation Organization (KLO) has started fighting
    numerous human rights organizations. KLO chairman Akif Nagi has
    accused some human rights organizations, including the head of the
    [Azerbaijani] National Committee of the Helsinki Citizens' Assembly,
    Arzu Abdullayeva, of serving the Armenians and has issued a final
    warning to them.

    "Abdullayeva, who is carrying out Armenians' political task in
    Azerbaijan, should leave the country. From now on, she is responsible
    for any unpleasant incident that happens to her. There are people
    who assist her in this issue. Arzu Abdullayeva, Zardust Alizada,
    Eldar Zeynalov and Avaz Hasanov are dealing a blow to the country's
    interests in order to get grants."

    Nagi said that they had sent letters to these human rights activists,
    demanding that they stop their activities.

    "The KLO will take more radical steps if they do not satisfy our
    demand. We will make their life and work unbearable."

    Arzu Abdullayeva said that she will not fulfil the KLO's demands. As
    far as her departure from the country is concerned, she said that
    she had done nothing wrong to be expelled from the country by Nagi.

    [In Tbilisi, Azerbaijani, Georgian and Armenian human rights activists
    reached an agreement to set up a consortium of NGOs aimed at restoring
    peace in the South Caucasus; Abdullayeva is a member of the group
    of South Caucasus human rights activists who plan to organize peace
    classes for Karabakh war victims.]
