    STATE DEPARTMENT RESPONDS TO AZERBAIJANI GOVERNMENT'S CLAIMS

    April 02, 2013 | 12:25

    Official representative of State Department said American NGOs
    "operate within extremely tight guidelines."

    Victoria Nuland commented on recent Azerbaijani governments' claims to
    the National Democratic Institute office in Azerbaijan and accusations
    of illegal fundings of the opposition groups.

    "I don't have any information on that particular assertion by the
    government. I don't know whether it happened in the last couple of
    days. We'll check into it. But as you know, all of our U.S.-funded
    democracy NGOs operate within extremely tight guidelines," she said.

    She assured the NGOs don't fund any particular party or any particular
    ideological approach.

    "They fund the process of democratic elections and party building in
    an evenhanded manner across the political spectrum."
