    BAKU DISPLEASED WITH EU'S CRITICISM

    Novruz Mammadov, the head of the international relations department
    at the Azerbaijani President's Administration, commented on recent
    statement of the EU Commissioner for Enlargement and European
    Neighborhood Policy, Stefan Fule concerning attempts of the opposition
    to conduct the April 17 rally.

    "I regret that Fule's immediate statement on the April 17 protest
    action is untrue and reflects an unfair stance with respect to
    the ongoing processes, since the statement is based on inaccurate
    information," Mammadov told journalists.

    Mammadov said there is no problem with freedom of expression and
    freedom of gatherings in Azerbaijan.

    According to him, Azerbaijan observes the commitments made to
    international, regional organizations and bodies. "The inadequate
    position on the ongoing processes in the country contradicts the spirit
    of cooperation established between the European Union and Azerbaijan,"
    Trend quoted Mammadov as saying.

    Earlier the EU has issued a statement on behalf of EU commissioner
    Stefan Fule. The document expressed concern about the authorities'
    actions with regard to opposition's attempts to hold an unsanctioned
    rally in the center of Baku.
