Statements by international organizations in the case of the arrest of the head of the Election Monitoring Center, Anar Mammadov, are interference in the internal Azerbaijan, reads the statement to the General Prosecutor's Office, received by the agency Turan.
"The statements of international organizations make pressure on the judiciary and the prosecution authorities of Azerbaijan," reads the statement.
The prosecutor's office rejects the international organizations that the arrest of Mammadov is politically motivated, and was ordered. The reason for his arrest is tax violations, prosecutors say, and is confident that the investigation will be thorough and objective. -16D-
