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.
