Discrimination in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs at OSCE Activities

The Press Service of the MFA of Azerbaijan prevented participation of the correspondent of Turan Farid Gahramanov at the press conference by Foreign Minister Elmar Mammadyarov and the OSCE Secretary General Lamberto Zannier.

 
Yesterday Turan and the private address of the reporter received a message about the visit of Zannier with time of the press conference, which noted that local journalists are on official ballots to participate. However, on Friday at the Foreign Ministry the representative of Turan was not allowed. The press officer explained that this was due to the lack of the name of the journalist on "the list" and asked him to call the spokesman Elman Abdullayev. However, the latter ignored the call by Turan’s reporter. The representative of the OSCE Office in Baku did not help either.
 
Turan considers the actions of MFA as discrimination and violation of freedom of information and the press. The agency hopes that the OSCE structures will react to the violation of the rights of the journalist and the news agency at the OSCE Secretary General event. -06D –
