Sheikhulislam Allahshukur Pashazadeh has accused Freedom House of prejudice when rating political and social affairs in Azerbaijan at the first forum entitled "State and Religion: Strengthening Tolerance" in Baku today, Trend reports.
The religious official reminded that Azerbaijan was hoping for a peaceful way of settling the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict. But Freedom House did nothing to condemn states responsible for the Khojaly Genocide, he alleged.
Freedom House has recently published a report mentioning lack of freedom of press and partial freedom in the Internet.
