Baku / 23.04.18 / Turan: Assistant to the head of state for socio-political issues, Ali Hasanov, accused the US State Department of biased attitude towards Azerbaijan. The basis for this was the traditional State Department report on the human rights situation in the world for 2017. According to Ali Hasanov, the report is biased. In his opinion, concrete facts "are biased in the interests of certain circles."
"We do not accept preconceived statements that diminish the image of the authorities on the basis of some dubious" facts "and regard them as having no serious grounds for subjective judgments," says Hasanov's comment. -02D-
