Azerbaijan doesn't classify non-governmental organizations on the principle whether they are pro-Western or not, the Head of the Public and Political Issues Department of Azerbaijani Presidential Administration Ali Hasanov told reporters Feb.12.
He said that there are registered and unregistered non-governmental organizations that carry out transparent and non-transparent activity in Azerbaijan.
"There are also organizations that are guided by the legislation on NGO in their activity, as well as those working on order and violating the laws on NGO," said Ali Hasanov. "Our classification is carried out according to this principle, and the attitude to each organization is formed on this basis."
Azerbaijani government wants the activity of each organization in the country to be transparent and that each organization would respect the law, he said.
