    RULING NEW AZERBAIJAN PARTY: FREEDOM HOUSE REPORT IS AN ATTEMPT TO JUSTIFY SEPARATION, ETHNIC CLEANSING AND AGGRESSION

    17 January 2013, 20:09 (GMT+04:00)

    Azerbaijan, Baku, Jan. 17 / Trend E. Mehdiyev /

    Azerbaijan has repeatedly talked about the prejudice and bias of
    reports of several international organizations, one of which, is
    surely the Freedom House organization, Deputy Chairman - Executive
    Secretary of the New Azerbaijan party, Ali Ahmedov told the website
    of the party on Thursday, expressing attitude to the fact of the
    separatist Nagorno Karabakh regime being included in the list of
    partly free countries in Freedom Houses's last report.

    "Bias of reports of this organization has been proved not only by
    Azerbaijan, but also other countries as well. Biased position of the
    organization in Azerbaijan has long been known," Ahmedov said.

    Inclusion in the list of the regime existing in the occupied
    Nagorno-Karabakh is an indicator of "objectivity" and attitude towards
    Azerbaijan, Ahmedov said.

    According to him, regardless of scale for estimation of the separatist
    regime, this fact alone is enough for people to form a complete image
    of the nature of this organization.

    The regime in the occupied Nagorno Karabakh is not recognized and will
    not be recognized by any state or serious international organization,
    deputy chairman of the NAP said. Therefore, the fact of the Freedom
    House organization describing the occupied territory as "partly free
    country" cannot but cause surprise.

    "I believe this approach gives a fairly good reason to doubt the
    objectivity of the organization. I consider it necessary to point that
    the reference in the report of Freedom House to "Nagorno-Karabakh
    "as a separate entity should be regarded as an attempt to justify
    the separation, ethnic cleansing and aggression. Such attempts
    hinder the efforts of the UN and the OSCE and the policy on the
    Armenian-Azerbaijani Nagorno-Karabakh conflict resolution, and are
    heightening tensions and confrontation in the region. Azerbaijani
    public has always rightly protested against biased estimates of
    preconceived international organizations. I believe the latest
    Freedom House report is even a more well-ground argument for protests
    of Azerbaijani people. It should also be noted that sometimes the
    radical wing of the opposition gladly assumes the role of advocate
    for biased organizations defaming Azerbaijan. I find this to be an
    abhorrent form of political struggle. Supporting the position of
    organization recognizing the fictional regime of "Nagorno-Karabakh",
    including it in its prejudiced and biased report, is nothing but a
    violation of national interests," the deputy chairman of the NAP said.
