The problem visiting the uncontrolled territories of States without notifying the central government - a sensitive issue not only for Azerbaijan, but also other countries of the EU program "Eastern Partnership" - Georgia, Ukraine and Moldova. In an interview with the program Cətin Sual (difficult question) Turan agency said the head of the journalistic association Yeni Nasil Arif Aliyev, commenting on the prosecution of a blogger in Azerbaijan Alexander Lapshin.
Another State "Eastern Partnership" - Belarus, not having such problems extradited Lapshin. Given the violation of borders of Azerbaijan Lapshin, extradition had some legal basis.
Aliyev said that he was impressed by the overall critical attitude to the blogger highlights the issues, but the arrogant tone of the blogger is not valid.
In any event, its publication and the views are a matter of journalistic professionalism and ethics.
"Of course, after he entered the Azerbaijan on another passport, and then decided to brag about it, you had to expect the consequences," - said the expert.
In case Lapshin are involved a number of states - Russia, Israel and others.
Therefore, at some point, it can be found some solution. Perhaps this will be the formula, in which the sheep are safe and wolves are fed. But there will be parties, which will suffer the most image losses. It is primarily about Armenia, as evidenced by the nervous reaction of Armenia on extradition blogger.
But Azerbaijan has something to think about - and first of all on the technical improvement of the system of protection granits.-03B06-
