Azerbaijani media outlets reported recently that the Head of the
public-political department of the Presidential Administration Ali
Hasanov had assured Miklos Haraszti, the OSCE Representative on Freedom
of the Media that arrested bloggers Emin Milli and Adnan Gachizade
would not be imprisoned. Thus, it seeemed Azerbaijan embarks on a
democratic path, however, as they say, leopard cannot change his spots.
Ali Kerimli, party chairman of the "National Front of Azerbaijan",
in an interview to Azerbaijan's "Mirror" called of situation in the
country "the political field with one-side game on". Authorities in
all meanings just play and the opposition is simply defending itself.
"Free thoughts suppressing goes on different levels. I mean, this is
happening both on civil and judicial levels. Currently, the country's
economy is seriously monopolized, and media are surveilled," said Ali
Kerimli, noting that by levels of bribery and corruption Azerbaijan
is almost in front of the whole world.
Such a situation in the country does not surprise the leader of the
opposition party at all. On Ali Kerimli's opinion, it cannot be a
strong opposition or independent media in a country where international
organizations every year note decline and regression of democracy,
where any protest against the authorities accompanied by violence
and arrests.
Mr. Kerimli admitted that he had no an opportunity to get a job as
Azerbaijan's Milli Majlis had picked up his employment book.
This statement makes one think that words "unemployed" and "opposition"
are synonymous in Azerbaijan.
