This means that rule of law, including freedom of the press, in the Republic of Azerbaijan fully”.

“If we talk about the arrest of someone, let’s talk about the rule of law. There have been no cases of prosecution of the mentioned people in relation to their journalistic activities. We are talking about processes related to non-journalistic activities. The fact that someone is a journalist does not mean a violation of the rule of law. Being a journalist is above the law. It does not mean being or having illegal privileges. I can mention the specific figures on illegal financial circulation a violation of several fundamental laws of the Republic of Azerbaijan, the institutions are not. realize the violation of Azerbaijani laws by participating in such an illegal financial process, a financial fraud,” added H.
