1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:08,220
There have been no restrictions, and the number of internet users in Azerbaijan is more than 80%.

2
00:00:08,220 --> 00:00:17,300
Can you imagine the restriction of media in a country where internet is free, there is no censorship, and there are 80% of internet users?

3
00:00:17,740 --> 00:00:21,340
We have millions of people on Facebook. How can you say that we don't have free media?

4
00:00:21,340 --> 00:00:30,000
This is, again, a biased approach. This is an attempt to create a perception in Western audience about Azerbaijan.

5
00:00:30,520 --> 00:00:38,620
We have opposition, we have NGOs, we have free political activity, we have free media, we have freedom of speech.

6
00:00:39,260 --> 00:00:42,200
But if you raise this question, can I ask you also one?

7
00:00:42,920 --> 00:00:47,500
How do you assess what happened to Mr. Assange?

8
00:00:47,500 --> 00:00:50,420
Is it a reflection of free media in your country?

9
00:00:51,340 --> 00:00:53,420
We're not here to discuss my country.

10
00:00:53,640 --> 00:01:02,500
No, let's discuss. In order to accuse me, saying that Armenians will not have free media here, let's talk about Assange.

11
00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:08,960
How many years, sorry, how many years he spent in Ecuadorian embassy? And for what? And where is he now?

12
00:01:08,960 --> 00:01:16,900
For journalistic activity. You kept that person hostage, actually killing him morally and physically.

13
00:01:16,900 --> 00:01:24,400
You did it, not us, and now he's in prison. So you have no moral right to talk about free media when you do these things.

14
00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:26,580
Returning to the conflict.

15
00:01:26,960 --> 00:01:33,740
Yeah, better return to the conflict, because this is not what you like. You like only to accuse, only to attack.

16
00:01:33,740 --> 00:01:44,620
But look at the mirror. Look, I tell many times, before coming and lecturing us, and in your question, accusing me, it's not a question, it's accusation.

17
00:01:44,960 --> 00:01:51,540
You talk like a prosecutor. Why? If you're so democratic and so objective, why you keep Assange in prison?

18
00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:57,120
For what? You keep him in prison because of his journalistic activity.

19
00:01:57,120 --> 00:02:00,940
I'm not keeping him in prison, President Aliyev.

20
00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:02,880
You don't like this.

21
00:02:03,420 --> 00:02:04,780
It's not a question of don't like.

22
00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:05,880
You are not used to this.

23
00:02:05,900 --> 00:02:07,720
It's not the subject of our interview.

24
00:02:07,740 --> 00:02:08,460
Because you are used only to attack.

25
00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:11,200
It's not the subject of our interview. And with respect, President Aliyev...

26
00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:13,400
No, it is not the subject of interview, but you raised it.

27
00:02:13,860 --> 00:02:14,500
You raised it.

28
00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:15,440
No, you raised it.

29
00:02:15,460 --> 00:02:16,180
You raised the case of Assange.

30
00:02:16,180 --> 00:02:20,120
You said, Armenians, if you don't have a free media in your country...
