Colonialism, where monk olion money is making its way into numerous industries, including the media the games in azerbaijan, where they are coming to a close, they are the main event in the sporting calendar. And the political calendar as well. The government in baku invested heavily in the games, the cost is 1. 2 billion. For the president , himself a sports fanatic, and the former head of the olympic committee, its oil money well spent. With the athletes comes the journalists, and the track record of dealing with the media is pure. Some foreign reporters were barred from the games, locked out. Azerbaijan journalists have more to lose than press cards. Reporting on corruption on human rights landed some in gaol. Our starting point is the olympics stadium in baku.

Reporter the day before the plirs european games opened, azerbaijan journalists gathered to hear an address from the head of the azerbaija the first european games are an important event. Sharing such moments is not just an expression of our joy, but an essential patriotic mission. Foreign media were not with the programme. According to the council, they launched a war against the country. When five international journalists, including one from the guardian complainted that theyd been refused accreditation, they were not too remorse fall. The refusal to admit certain journalists, they do not want to see critical reporting. They say you can come. But report how wonderful we are, how great is our food. How vepsed we are. But dont talk about the people in gaol. Dont talk about corruption, and the governments statement to create a criticism failed. Several newspapers started publishing identical articles about human right and speech issues. Did the guardian public more than 30 articleses, and two had anything to do with the european games. German pub ers published more than 30 negative articles in 10 days. International Media Coverage is consistent in the western media criticism of their human right record corruption. The International Community called on australia to release political prisoners. Much of the work was initiated by a top investigators. Even though behind bar, in pretrial detention, and has been for nine months, her work is carried forward. Nor has she remained slept. Letters smuggled out of gaol, published in the New York Times drawing attention to her imprisonment. And that of seven others. Midway through the games a group of 25 countries criticized azerbaijans weres freedom record. An outlet under pressure is a newspaper based in the capital. They had to pay huge fines, oured tore in chief was roasted, our satirical writer arrested. A worker was raped and beaten, two colleagues left the country after being starved. Domestically government crashed all independent media. This almost meant no independent media. All the critical voices are in gaol. When it comes to this, its easy to see the winners awarded by the president. Hes presenting the award, using the opportunity to show your success is connected to me. Using the media to build a cult of adversity, used by his father, the fires soviet leader. The family held the presidency since azerbaijan gained independence. In these 24 years, their hold over Key Industries banging, goldmining telecommunications defensified. Most of the mass media is controlled by the state. One of the main tv channels is owned by the president s sister, another, by his cousin. Most of the media is state controlled, and the message as been singular and straight to the point since winning the right to the games. It is the lack of transparency, and how much it cost the people, is not something that the azari discuss. The media in azerbaijan abandoned principles.

S. Funded radio free europe. Last year their bureau was raided and shut down. Now, governments argue, saying we are independent, we dont need radio liberty. You are talking about our programmes. We dont want you to talk about where the oil mine is going or the human rights issues. Translation the right to disseminate news and information belongs to azerbaijan. Just like the territory belongs to azerbaijan. Leaked radio cannot be considered. That is why the Radio Station has been inspected. Reporter local journalists in prison, trouble some media locked out. And a dick tat of those covering azerbaijan. Watch what you say or pay the press. The european games is one of a number of sporting events that azerbaijan is using to show case itself to the world. For the government, there could be a lesson. When you invite the world to tune in and watch. Its not possible to go the way you see.
