FREEDOM HOUSE: NKR IMPROVED ITS STATUS FROM NOT FREE TO PARTLY FREE
http://times.am/?l=en&p=16950
Freedom House has published the annual report about the freedom of
the world countries.
"Among other Eurasian countries, Kazakhstan, Tajikistan, and
Ukraine were evaluated as less free than in the previous year, while
Azerbaijan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, and Belarus remained some of
the world~Rs most repressive states. This dismal record was partially
offset by peaceful, competitive elections in Armenia and Georgia. Yet
even Georgia, which experienced its first orderly transfer of power
to the opposition through democratic elections, finished the year on
a less than satisfying note after the new government quickly arrested
some 30 officials of the previous government, raising concerns about
politically motivated prosecutions", the report writes.
Reffering to the Artsakh (Nagorno-Karabakh) the FH says:
"Nagorno-Karabakh~Rs political rights rating improved from 6 to 5,
and its status improved from Not Free to Partly Free, due to the
participation of a genuine opposition in the July presidential
election".
