Nagorno-Karabakh has surpassed Azerbaijan in the political rights (PR) and the civil liberties (CL) indicators.

The aforesaid is stated in the Freedom House “Freedom in the World 2015” report, which is has just been issued, the Armenian News-NEWS.am reporter informed from Washington, DC.

Accordingly, Nagorno-Karabakh has received 5 points—in a 7-point scale, where 1 is Free, and 7 is Not Free—in CL, and 5 for PR. Azerbaijan, on the other hand, has received 6 points in both indicators, thus approaching the indicator for the virtually complete absence of democratic freedoms.  

As compared to Azerbaijan, Armenia is significantly better positioned, and it is included among the Partly Free countries, with 5 and 4 points for PR and CL, respectively. As a result, Armenia, together with Georgia and Turkey, is among the three Partly Free countries in the region, whereas the other regional countries—including Azerbaijan, Iran, and Russia—have been regarded as Not Free.
