Под правами человека в Азербайджане подразумевают только права уехавших армян Карабаха. Права самих азербайджанцев европейских лицемеров абсолютно не волнуют, не говоря уже о правах изгнанных из армении азербайджанцев. Если не верите, посмотрите интервью Азадлыг радиосу курирующего Южный Кавказ эстонского депутата в Европарламенте.
