IN BAKU AZERI RIGHT DEFENDER REPROACHED FOR ASKING ARMENIANS' PARDON
"525", a newspaper issued in Baku, is indignant with the behavior of the chairman of Azerbaijani national committee of Helsinki civil Assembly Arzu Abduliyeva. Her misdeed is that several days ago when she was having a speech at the conference in Berlin dedicated to the Caucasus region problems, she permitted herself to beg Armenians' pardon for the deaths of Armenians killed at the war with Azerbaijan. This speech, as the newspaper states, "caused a protest of not only Azerbaijani delegation but also the Georgian one".
