The international organizations while preparing the reports will use only the official data of the Azerbaijani State Statistics Committee.

"While analyzing the statistics of international organizations thoroughly, the Committee revealed significant discrepancies with the official statistics of the country," head of the information dissemination department of the State Committee Mary Amirova said on February 24.

She noted that the international organizations were informed about this.

"The indicators in the reports of international organizations are being specified once a year. As the Committee was informed Azerbaijan's official statistics, is processed by international organizations by using own methodical calculations," she said. "In our opinion, this is wrong. What is the official statistics for if it is not taken into account? The State Statistics Committee is the official body distributing statistics on Azerbaijan."

Amirova said at present the question has been practically settled.

"International organizations have agreed that while preparing analytical reports, they will use only the official data of the Azerbaijani State Statistics Committee," she noted.
