BAKU, Azerbaijan, December 4. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Azerbaijan has condemned recent statements made by Western ambassadors, Trend reports.
“We vehemently reject the orchestrated interventions of
Ambassadors of the United States, European Union, United Kingdom,
and Switzerland on allegations regarding the detention of
“journalists” and “political activists” in Azerbaijan during the
event in Baku on 4 December.
These statements are an open attempt to undermine the independence
of the judiciary of Azerbaijan.
Involvement in the course of the investigation is unacceptable, and
interference in the judicial proceedings clashes with the principle
of the rule of law, which is the fundamental principle of the legal
state,” the statement reads.
