The German Marshall Fund issued a statement condemning the publication on haqqin.az on May 24 in 2013, the Azerbaijani information agency Turan reports.

As the statement reads Ozgur Unluisarchy, the head of the Ankara Office of the German Marshall Foundation gave an interview to the site haqqin.az, and later it was published along with an additional "analysis."

“The authors of both materials not only perverted statements of Unluisarchy, but also added completely fictitious details in the text, including the title. Marshall Foundation regarded it as a violation of journalistic ethics, and condemned as an attempt to cast doubt on the credibility of the organization and its employees," the statement read.

On 24 May 2013 Azerbaijani portal "Haqqin.az" published an article titled "Head of the American Foundation compared Aliyev’s regime with the regime of Assad." According to "Haqqin.az" Ozgur Unluisarchy answered the question of whether the events in Syria will be spread in Azerbaijan: "Both Syria and Azerbaijan have the same regimes. And though the regimes are identical, I still do not see prerequisites for this."

Later, on May 28 in 2013 "Haqqin.az" published another material titled "What is behind the anti-Aliyev rhetoric of Turkish analyst?” In the article Ozgur Unluisarchy, the head of "Marshall Fund" office in Ankara, was heavily criticized, as well as the Turkish policy in regard of Syria.
