Baku. Ramil Mammadli â€“APA. â€œSome newspapers incorrectly commented on the Vice Prime Minister Ali Hasanovâ€™s speech at the meeting of the State Anti-Drug Commissionâ€, spokesman for the Cabinet of Ministers Akif Ali told APA. He said some newspapers commented on the Hasanovâ€™s words that â€œchildren of the wealthy people use narcoticsâ€ in own manner. â€œSome people commented it as intra-government strife. It is wrong and groundless comment. The commission talked about the more important steps in the anti-drug struggle. Ali Hasanov said the families had a great role in prevention of drug problem. Indeed every parent must make efforts to protect their children from this trouble. I think it is not correct to make wrong comments on the good-will words and to show it as strife and it should be deniedâ€.

Ali said they wouldnâ€™t appeal the court on this case. â€œSome newspapers mean the officials under the phrase of â€œwealthy peopleâ€ for some reason. But not all officials are wealthy or not all wealthy men are officials. There is a freedom of speech in the country and every person is free to express his/her thoughts. I recommend them to warmly welcome the governmentâ€™s good intentions. Such cases are misleading the readers and showing that the newspaper is not independentâ€.
