Commenting on the protest against rising electricity prices in Yerevan and international organizations' not issuing a statement on it, Novruz Mammadov though that all these occur due to the double standards: "Yet, look how CNN , BBCNews, Guardian, Independent, Amnesty, hrw, Freedom House DC and others are silent. Manifestation of double standards is at its finest. Because Armenia is a non-Muslim country."
