When it comes to matters of civil and political liberties, Azerbaijan maintains one of lowest rankings of democracy in world, with a proven track record of oppressing the right to assembly, protests and dozens of political prisoners, Spokesperson for the Armenian Ministry of Foreign Affairs Vahan Hunanyan said in a Twitter post.
“Suggested idea, therefore, that there could be civil society activists in Azerbaijan, capable of launching an independent action of this size and scope without direct guidance and supervision of state authorities is implausible, to say the least,” the Spokesperson said.
