    Azerbaijani Parliamentary Committee Chairman reproaches "Freedom
    House" with hostile position

    Azerbaijan, Baku, Dec. 16 / Trend News A. Huseynbala /

    The Nagorno-Karabakh region of Azerbaijan is presented as a joint
    territory of Azerbaijan and Armenia on the map entitled "Map of
    Freedom", recently prepared by the organization "Freedom House".

    Moreover, the organization ranked Azerbaijan among "restricted"
    countries. It presented Armenia and Nagorno Karabakh as "relatively
    free countries."

    Chairman of the Azerbaijani Parliamentary Committee reproached the
    organization "Freedom House" with a hostile position against
    Azerbaijan.

    "The denial of development of democratic processes in Azerbaijan,
    economic and other spheres is at least unfair," the Milli Majlis
    Committee on Human Rights chairman Rabiyyat Aslanova told Trend News
    today.

    On the map entitled "Map of Freedom", recently prepared by the
    organization "Freedom House", the Nagorno-Karabakh region of
    Azerbaijan is represented as a joint territory of Azerbaijan and
    Armenia. In addition, identifying the Azerbaijan to the "unfree"
    countries, it provided to Armenia and Nagorno Karabakh as "relatively
    free country."

    Aslanova said that a comparison between Azerbaijan and Armenia in
    human rights is absolutely unfair. "MPs and journalists are imprisoned
    in Armenia." Freedom House "must express its attitude towards it. All
    international organizations know about these facts, existing in
    Armenia,. But the above-mentioned organization is trying to inform the
    world about the facts in a different perspective," MP said.

    She said that such false statements of "Freedom House" will not give
    any results.

    "The reason is that the world is watching events and is able to
    distinguish democratic countries from non-democratic ones. Wrong
    ideas, defamation made by this organization towards Azerbaijan, will
    not bring any results because Azerbaijan is resolute in its position.
    Its position aimed at the development of democratic reforms", chairman
    of the committee said.

    Aslanova said that as opposed to "Freedom House", many international
    organizations recognize the achievements of Azerbaijan. "The
    organizations with much greater authority recognize Azerbaijan as a
    democratic country. As to "Freedom House", it is obvious that this
    organization approaches its end," she said.
