    Mubariz Ahmedoghlu: "Condoleezza Rice seems willing to see Azerbaijan
    as a US subworker"

    06 May 2008 [15:41] - Today.Az

    The state of relations between the United States and Azerbaijan in
    April lays foundations for different conclusions.

    According to Day.Az, the due announcement was made by Mubariz
    Ahmedoghlu, head of the center for political innovations and
    technologies, at a traditional monthly press conference on the
    political results of the past month.

    He said on the one hand, the United States try to make a wide use of
    energy potential of Azerbaijan to ensure energy safety of Europe and
    some announcements of the United States can be regarded as statements,
    made on behalf of Azerbaijan.

    "Moreover, the United States have not recognized independence of
    Nagorno Karabakh for several times through 45 days. Materials
    regarding the Armenian occupation were posted on the website of the
    Department of State", said he.

    On the other hand, according to the political scientist, US Secretary
    of State Condoleezza Rice demonstrated illogical attitude to the
    resolution of Nagorno Karabakh problem and processes, ongoing in the
    country.

    "Rice states that Azerbaijan is lagging behind Armenia and Georgia by
    level of democratic development, which is illogical. She seems to have
    no idea of the region", considers Ahmedoghlu.

    The political scientist said that three TV channels including 202th
    channel, Kavkazia and Imedi were shutdown in Georgia in the past
    year. Jornalists and businessmen were subjected to pressure, leaders
    of political parties were arrested. Ahmedoghlu reminded that the
    meeting in Georgia was dispersed, the force majeure situation caused
    declaration of emergency state and conduction of urgent presidential
    elections in the country.

    "Elections of Armenian President were accompanies by rule violation of
    laws, opposition protests were brutally dispersed. According to
    official statistics, 11 people died in the result of the protest. All
    opposition newspapers were shutdown and censorship was applied even to
    online editions. Currently, opposition deputies, leaders of political
    parties and businessmen are under arrest", said Ahmedoghlu.

    He reminded that three out of eight previously imprisoned reporters
    are in jail in Azerbaijan. Investifation is carried out on beating of
    another journalist.

    "As is seen, the situation is the best in Azerbaijan. If Rice speaks
    differently, she either has no idea of the situation, or makes a
    purposed mistake. Condoleezza Rice seems willing to see Azerbaijan as
    a US subworker", announced Ahmedoghlu.
