NED allocated over $800,000 to Azerbaijani NGOs in 2014
The US National Endowment for Democracy (NED) allocated $871,578 grants to Azerbaijan`s NGOs in 2014, Citizens` Labor Rights Protection League Chairman Sahib Mammadov told APA.
These grants were not registered in the Justice Ministry of Azerbaijan. The amount of grants allocated to Azerbaijan`s NGOs last year were published on NED’s official website ned.org, Mammadov said.

“Unlike other countries, NED has not announced the names of Azerbaijan’s organizations to which these grants were allocated. Only the direction of the grants was revealed. However, NED named the organizations in Georgia and Armenia which received the grants,” he added.

`Everyone knows those organizations. After imposing restrictions in Azerbaijan, the amount of foreign grants increased several times. None of these grants is registered, they are beyond the state control,” he stressed.
