    AZAD ISAZADEH: AUTHORITIES TRY TO SUPPRESS FREEDOM OF SPEECH IN AZERBAIJAN

    11:57, 7 June, 2013

    YEREVAN, JUNE 7, ARMENPRESS: The Azerbaijani businessmen in Russia
    have created "a union of billionaires", which can play the
    same role in the Azerbaijani domestic life, as Bidzina Ivanishvili in
    Georgia. This was stated by the expert of the "Peace and
    Democracy" Institute Azad Isazadeh at the international conference
    "Caucasus - 2012" held in Yerevan. As reported by the expert, "The
    attempts of the Azerbaijani authorities to suppress the freedom of
    speech bring to the mass arrests and violence". As reported by
    Armenpress, Azad Isazadeh added that: "The arrests of journalists in
    Azerbaijan are of mass character. During the previous year a
    number of journalists were arrested. They were accused of drugs
    trafficking and public violence organization. The authorities try in
    every possible way to suppress the freedom of speech".

    As was informed by the expert of the "Peace and Democracy" Institute,
    "During the presidency of Ilham Aliyev the relations
    between Armenia and Azerbaijan have been more emotional.

    During those years no positive change has been registered in the
    relations of the two countries. And no developments have been
    registered in the negotiations process around the NagornoKarabakh
    conflict issue. In the coming years as well no considerable changes
    are expected in the relations between Armenia andAzerbaijan".

    The international conference "Caucasus - 2012" has been held in
    Yerevan for the tenth time. The conference is attended by scientists,
    journalists and public figures from Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia,
    Russia, USA and Europe.
