AZERI OMBUDSMAN IS NOT WORTHY OF THE POST OF HUMAN RIGHTS COMMISSAR

`Organization for Protection of Gurgen Margaryan’s Interests’ made a
statement on Azeri press’ information concerning the fact that the
candidature of Azeri Ombudsman Elmira Suleymanova had been put
forward on the post of human rights commissar.
According to the organization, Elmira Suleymanova is not worthy of
the post. Representatives of the organization believe analysis of
Suleymanova’s actions testify to the fact that Azeri ombudsman
institute and Elmira Suleymanova herself have become a mouthpiece of
Azeri authorities’ official politics supporting anti – Armenian and
racist rhetoric within the country and outside its borders.
