Azerbaijan, Baku, Dec. 16 / Trend 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 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.
