A member of Azerbaijan's Milli Majlis has commented on several aspects of the work of Radio Liberty in Azerbaijan.
Some time ago several mass media including 1news.az voiced the opinion that the Azerbaijan Radio Liberty is not impartial in the Karabakh conflict settlement. Meanwhile, the Armenian branch of Radio Liberty is actively protecting the interests of the Armenian state in this issue.
Commenting on this issue, MP Mubariz Gurbanli said: "The Azerbaijan office of Radio Liberty and its journalists should provide unbiased and full information about nonconstructive position of Armenia and violation of the peace process".
According to the deputy, if journalists of the Armenian Radio Liberty use this tribune and hold agitation against Azerbaijan, Azerbaijani journalists of Radio Liberty should also do it in relation to Armenia.
"If Azerbaijani journalists are instructed by the head office of Radio Liberty not to provide this information, they should at least ask their leadership why Armenians are permitted to spread this information but we are not. If Armenians provide such information, the Azerbaijani office of the Radio Liberty should also do the same", he said.
Gurbanly noted that every citizen of Azerbaijan regardless of where he works must be a patriot of his country.
"Patriotism come first, while the political position is the second", he said.
