H.Ismayilova: when you hold the European games it does not mean that you become a European

 A journalist Khadija Ismayilova  who is serving her term in the prison in Kurdakhani  published on the site "Radio Azadlig" her new letter on the  upcoming European games. The authorities explained that the purpose of the games is to "present Azerbaijan as part of Europe. "Those who criticizes this "money trap" are called  "not patriots." "I want to offer advice that we really can be proud of calling ourselves "Europeans", writes Ismailova.  We need the following:

- Let our head of state,  and other officials declare like  the  European leaders  their income. Let they do not steal from the people, and their income be transparent;

- The budgets of international activities should be transparent, and people should know how many billions are spent;

-  Let the  monopolies  do not strangle the economy, let national brands are created and develop under  the economic competition;

-  Let there will not be  political prisoners, like in the  European countries. Let us have free media, and we will be an example in Europe.

- Let us provide political freedom, free elections, let there be opposition members  in parliament, not thrown into jail those who exalt their  voice of protest,  do not kill them, do not shot them  in the mouth, do not force  them leave the country;

   It does not require spending billions,  and costs will reduce.

"There will be no need to tell lies, and it will not be  possible to allocate billions from the state budget on expensive tickets and then steal their part," said Ismailova. But it seems the government does not want to hold Olympic reforms, concluded the journalist in a letter written in March.

Khadija Ismayilova was arrested  on December  5, 2014 on charges of incitement to suicide. In February 2015 she also was accused of  illegal business, tax evasion and embezzlement. -06D-
