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."
