PanARMENIAN.Net - A 23-minute report revealing corruption and
dictatorship reigning in Azerbaijan as a main hindrance on the way
to country's development, was broadcast on France's Arte TV channel.
As a representative of Azeri opposition told Arte TV, he was forced
to leave the country because of government-initiated repressions.
On November 9, the Bundestag Committee on Human Rights and Humanitarian
Aid passed a resolution urging Azerbaijan to observe the principles
of the Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental
Freedoms.
The Committee called on PACE to exert pressure on Azerbaijani
government over its hampering the activity of PACE rapporteur on
human rights Christoph Strasser.
As a member of the Council of Europe, Azerbaijan must fulfill its
obligations, the Committee said.
The Azerbaijani authorities reject existence of political prisoners
and deny rapporteur Strasser's entry to the country. However, according
to human rights organizations, there are up to 70 political prisoners
in Azerbaijan.
