Terry Davis, CE Chairman in Office, expressed concern about the
situation with the printed press in Azerbaijan. The Council of
Europe called for Azerbaijan to meet all commitments undertaken
before and secure the freedom of the printed press. "Azeri press"
agency informed that Denis Bribosia, special representative of the
CE Chairman in Office in Azerbaijan, stated that if needed they the
European Court of the Human Rights may consider the recent cases of
arresting journalists in Azerbaijan.
At the same time, he expressed hope that the abovementioned issues will
be settled at the courts of Azerbaijan. Anyway, it is quite likely
that the situation with the Azeri printed press may be discussed at
the summer session of PACE.
