MPs call for boycotting "Transparency Azerbaijan"
Azerbaijani Parliamentary Speaker Ogtay Asadov called the report
of Transparency Azerbaijan Anti-Corruption Public Union - which is
a national branch of Transparency International organization in
Azerbaijan - biased and fictional.
Unfortunately, this organization is not engaged in research and
it's report consists of tabloid articles. MPs should be careful in
such matters, the speaker has warned.
MP Ali Huseynli, in turn, proposed to boycott the public
union.
"The report contains false, unfounded and full of slander materials
in the part over the parliament," he said.
The MP added that while preparing the report, organizations should
take into account the conclusions of the structures, on which the
report is compiled.
Ruling party MP Siyavush Novruzov, for his part, said that it has
later become known that the report was based on Armenian
sources.
"It is necessary to work against those who work for the Armenians.
We should establish a serious work against the representatives of
the "fifth column" in order to expose the traitors. Those who
oppose the statehood of Azerbaijan should be punished," Novruzov
said.
