Germany condemned state backed persecutions in Azerbaijan against its
citizens, Spiegel.de news site said.
Referring to its sources, the paper says German Foreign Ministry
secret report is about Azerbaijan. It's reported that the prisoners
are maltreated, parliamentary debates are impossible, opposition holds
`extremely limited' activities, they are being even persecuted.
`When Azerbaijan is targeted by the European countries, the first
thing being highlighted there is the violation of human rights,' said
the report.
In February 2012 Azerbaijan and Israel signed arms supply agreement
worth $1.6 billion, and the European states became more concerned
about this deal than about political prisoners in Azerbaijan.
`In a message sent to the U.S. State Department in 2009 from U.S.
Embassy in Baku, Azerbaijan's president was compared with mafia head
in `Godfather.' Hence, is it possible to negotiate with Aliyev-kind
person for the sake of a song contest,' said the story.
