Azerbaijani writer and author of the novel "Stone Dreams" Akram Aylisli appealed to foreign diplomatic missions in Azerbaijan with a call to read his work, due to which he is being subjected to harassment by the authorities.
"For more than two weeks, the media controlled by Azerbaijani authorities has led a campaign of moral terror against me because of my novel 'Stone Dreams'". In front of my house they hold uncoordinated mass rallies, burn my books, and exert unfair pressure on the members of my family," said Aylisli in a statement.
"This is an unprecedented event in the social life of Azerbaijan over the past 100 years, and I have no doubt that it is carried out by the authorities," said Aylisli.
"I regard it as an unprecedented example of intolerance of the ruling circles to freedom of speech and expression," further noted Aylisli.
In connection with this, the writer has appealed to foreign diplomatic missions in Azerbaijan - to the Embassies of the USA, UK, Germany, France, Russia, Norway, Sweden, Switzerland, Austria, the Netherlands, Belgium and other countries, as well as the missions of the EU, the OSCE and the Council of Europe - with a request to read his novel and express their attitude towards it. -06B-
