"Mr President, I too wish to express my regret at the death of journalist Rafiq Tagi , and I utterly condemn this heinous murder which highlights the consequences of religious extremism for human rights, primarily the basic right to life.
The killing of this prominent journalist casts serious doubts on the situation of human rights in Azerbaijan. This state of affairs is especially worrying as this country is a member of the Eastern Partnership and the Council of Europe, and actively participates in the European Neighbourhood Policy. However, in spite of its international partnerships, Azerbaijan has still failed to show its serious commitment to guaranteeing press freedom and protecting activists promoting respect for fundamental freedoms.
I too make an appeal to the Azerbaijani authorities to carry out an urgent, impartial investigation into the circumstances of Rafiq Tagi ’s stabbing and to take full responsibility in putting an end to the impunity enjoyed by the perpetrators of the crimes committed in the name of religion.
I also call on the Commission and the other European institutions to make any progress in cooperation with Azerbaijan conditional upon guaranteeing respect for human rights."@en1
