A fact from Eynulla Fatullayev appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 30 March 2007. The text of the entry was as follows:

Did you know... that, according to human rights organizations, Azerbaijani journalist Eynulla Fatullayev has been beaten, received death threats and had his father kidnapped due to his criticism of the government?

A record of the entry may be seen at Wikipedia:Recent additions/2007/March.

Accuracy

How accurate is this article? As far as I remember, Fatullayev denied the interview re Khojaly, but there was some confusion in Azerbaijan at the time as to whether he did conduct research on the Khojaly incident and whether he interviewed Khojaly residents. One of the allegations was that a Khojaly resident or residents told him that the Armenian commander that day offered to allow civilians to withdraw prior to his troops advancing, but that this offer was refused (by the Azerbaijani commander??). Thus, the implication was that the local Azerbaijani army commander bore at least some responsibility for what happened.

This is simply what I remember when the issue blew up in Baku. Of course, all references to this side of the story have been erased in Azerbaijan, so it is unlikely that the truth will ever emerge.

Another thing that bothers me about this article is that no mention of the actual allegations against Fatullayev (that landed him in prison) are made, i.e. the absurd government allegation that his article on Iranian intentions in the event of a war constituted "terrorism." That is what he was on trial for, not for his article on Khojaly. The prosecution said that his Iran article sowed panic among foreign embassies and that its allegations rose to the level of terrorism.

But there is not one word on this in the Wikipedia article, which in my view is very misleading. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.135.159.249 (talk) 07:17, 21 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

You've made some good points. Do you want to be a contributor and add fairness and balance to the article? Crtew (talk) 16:00, 13 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

BLP Question

The source for Fatullayev and National Democratic Institute is not in English and might be a BLP vio. I spotted while fixing some other BLP vio about Amnesty International where I found a source that added some outside verification. I haven't found a good source for it in English? Can somebody? Or should it be deleted? Also that info is no longer under controversy but under Amnesty subsection, which is problematic for readers. Crtew (talk) 15:58, 13 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Good point. I moved this into a broader section about international relations. I can't speak to whether 1news.az is a reliable source or not. -- Khazar2 (talk) 16:15, 13 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

It's questionable enough that it could be challenged. Under BLP the info should be verifiable (as I'm reading the spirit of it) and under verification, policy allows for foreign language materials, but the "more exceptional" points should be well sourced (high quality, several and possibly in English or at least translated). If that is possible, by all means restore it.Crtew (talk) 16:33, 13 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know of any other source for it, but perhaps the IP who added this can find one. Thanks! -- Khazar2 (talk) 17:57, 13 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
