[governance] Rights issues in Azerbaijan / What will CS @ Baku do?

[Carlos A. Afonso]

Yes, Avri, but each situation is different, and I think at least the
possibility should be discussed. Boycott might also work as a strong
form of pressure. Europe is doing it right now in relation to the
mistreatment of Ms Timoshenko in Ukraine, just to mention an immediate
example.

The problem with trying to be supportive by being there is that most of
us do not know details of the political situation to engage in a
complicated political scenario as foreigners.
