Ali Hasanov: US State Department's attitude to situation in Azerbaijan - biased as always

Trend:

The US State Department's attitude to the events taking place in the socio-political, socio-economic and cultural life of Azerbaijan, as always, is biased, Azerbaijani President’s Assistant for Public and Political Affairs Ali Hasanov told Trend on April 23.

Hasanov made the remarks commenting on the situation in Azerbaijan, reflected in the 2017 Country Reports on Human Rights Practices by the US Department of State.

The methodology of the report’s preparation on each issue is based on the principle of ascertaining of one, in some cases, of several facts, their correspondence to interests of certain political circles, biased reflection, processing of the corresponding results and generalization throughout the sphere, Hasanov noted.

Such attitude, as well as absence of sources, as a rule, “reference” to some “experts”, “activists”, “NGO representatives” and similar incomprehensible “sources” cast serious doubt on the objectivity and transparency of the report, he added.
