NGOs conducting campaigns against Azerbaijan get subsidies from abroad

28 April 2015 [20:17] - TODAY.AZ

In fact, the campaigns against Azerbaijan are not related to human rights violations in the country, Sahib Mammadov, member of the Joint Working Group on Human Rights, told Trend April 28.

He was commenting on the results of the recent examination that an anti-Azerbaijani campaign is being conducted from Secretary of State John Kerry’s office in the Congress.

“The campaigns on discrediting Azerbaijan are organized by foreign countries and organizations,” he said.

“The foreign NGOs, holding a campaign against Azerbaijan, work with other countries, get subsidies and fulfill their orders,” Mammadov said.

“It is necessary to conduct systematic work in bringing the truth about Azerbaijan to the world community to prevent such anti-Azerbaijani campaigns,” he said.

He said that it is necessary to increase the number of resources in foreign languages, containing the information about the real situation with human rights in Azerbaijan, and the development of the civil society must be at such a level that it can demonstrate its position in case of such situations.

The National Endowment for Democracy organization has been charged with holding this campaign. The organization that is financed from the US budget, has been trying to create “the fifth column” in Azerbaijan for many years. NED has sent millions of dollars to some NGOs and media structures in Azerbaijan from the sources in the West.
