Azerbaijani authorities plan to sue France 2 television for airing an investigative report about Azerbaijan that described Ilham Aliyev as an autocrat, RFI reported quoting France-Presse.

French lawyer of Azerbaijani leadership Olivier Pardo said journalists Elise Lucet presented Azerbaijan as one of the strictest dictatorships in the world.

“Cash Investigation” program touched upon the visit of President Francois Hollande to Azerbaijan in spring 2014.  The materials, especially interviews with opposition activists and human rights advocates, that were prepared by French journalists were confiscated.

Olivier Pardo said Azerbaijan “will no longer stand” such attitude and will sue those who are spreading slander.
