Hasanov said the president expressed his regret at the journalist’s arrest. The head of state said to solve the problems between the sides legally was more effective than to pass a decision on arrest.

The President thinks that any misunderstanding and conflict between journalists and citizens will not result in the journalists’ arrest in Azerbaijan, which considers political pluralism one of its main principles. The head of state noted that both the conflicting sides and courts would better use the ways accepted in the international practice.

On April 7, basing on the suit filed by rector of Azerbaijan International University Elshad Abdullayev, Yasamal district court passed a decision to sentence editor-in-chief of Tezadlar newspaper Asif Merzili to one year imprisonment.
