    BAKU. - The Azerbaijani authorities take measures for improving the
    state's image abroad. They hire PR-agencies abroad and at the same
    time limit freedom of speech inside the country. The Azerbaijani
    authorities as before are very cruel towards critical journalists,
    Reporters Without Borders non-profit organization reports. By false
    accusations, journalists are arrested, at the same time the government
    wastes huge amount of money on establishing an image of modern and
    open country, the organization stated in Berlin on Monday, Deutsche
    Welle reports. The new legislature having changed in June considerably
    limited freedom of media in Azerbaijan, the document reads. At the
    same time, the Reporters Without Borders called on the western
    political scientists to insist that Azerbaijani authorities respect
    human rights within international agreements and make it a condition
    for political cooperation with Baku.
