"Freedom in the World 2014" report published on the eve by the
American watchdog organization Freedom House again ranked Armenia
and the Nagorno Karabakh Republic as "partially free" countries. The
rating is available on the official website of the organization.
Political as well as civil liberties in Armenia have a score of
5. It should be noted that the organization assesses the degree of
freedom on a 7- point scale, where the higher the score the worse
the condition of the freedom is.
Azerbaijan is noted by the organization among the countries that
recorded a significant decline in the field of freedoms. The situation
in the country is marked by the deterioration of the atmosphere and
increase in negative rating from the 5th to 6th point. The reason
of this is "the ongoing blatant property rights violations by the
government in a year in which the state also cracked down on the
opposition and civil society in advance of presidential elections".
