Garalov said that those NGOs don’t sign any contract with the journalist they are cooperating with. “In case of signing contracts, they are not accredited to foreign NGOs and they receive some funds informally,” he added.
The prosecutor general urged all NGOs and journalists to respect the laws of Azerbaijan, not to violate the requirements of tax legislation, noting that in this case prosecuting agencies won’t launch investigation on them. “If they continue such acts through foreign benefactors, they will be brought to justice,” he noted.
