Text of report by Azerbaijani TV station ANS on 5 April

[Presenter] Ombudsman Elmira Suleymanova protests at the latest report of the American organization Freedom House. In its report, the organization included Azerbaijan on the list of non-free countries. It is more striking, however, that on its list of disputed territories the Freedom House considers the self-proclaimed Nagornyy Karabakh Republic governed by a police regime to be partly free.

[Correspondent over video of a press conference] Ombudsman Elmira Suleymanova disagrees with the views expressed in the Freedom House report on Azerbaijan, the ombudsman said at a press conference. The report devoted to the protection of human rights classifies Azerbaijan as a non-free country. On the other hand, Armenia which has occupied Azerbaijan's lands is shown as a free country [the report actually said Armenia was party free].

In Suleymanova's opinion, the report is unjust.

[suleymanova at the press conference] This is heartbreaking at least because - let me ask you a question - how true is it? For instance, how come that America which has repeatedly recognized Armenia as an aggressors over last few years and which is trying to facilitate the resolution of the Nagornyy Karabakh conflict as a member of the OSCE Minsk Group [stops in mid-sentence].

Moreover, it is not clear which indicators and what kind of benchmarks they use regarding the situation in Azerbaijan? How come that the aggressor, Armenia, which violates international humanitarian law before the eyes of the entire world [stops in mid-sentence].

[Correspondent] The ombudsman said that she may take some measures after she studies the report in detail.

Умора... Г-же Елмире Сулейманове больше интересует почему Армения свободная страна, чем почему ее страно определили как не свободную... :blink:

И еще когда это США признавали Армению как агрессора?

Меня интересует реакция азербайджанских юзеров на омбуцмена АР.

Вынужден закрыть тему, поскольку Английский не является официальным языком ДипКорпуса.
