Human Rights Watch reports on Azerbaijan became more subjective
during the last several years, the head of the public affairs
department of the presidential apparatus, Ali Hasanov told Trend.

`For example, we all perfectly know about processes taking place in
Armenia, in particular about relations between opposition and
government in that country,’ Hasanov said, reminding, that `in the
near past Armenian oppositionists have been gathered in the National
Council hall and shot dead.’

Despite all that Armenia occupies leading places in the South
Caucasus in the Human Rights Watch reports, he said. `Azerbaijani
government already complained about it to representatives of the
organization,’ he assured.

Representative of the president administration emphasized that
Washington foreign policy is not formed upon NGO opinion but rather
on position of the official structures. `However, position of this
organization definitely influences the formation of social opinion in
US we don’t want Americans receive negative information about us,’ he
concluded.
