Of the 14 951 thousand labor migrants registered in Azerbaijan, the citizens of Latvia are only 14 people. Their length of service, according to a preliminary agreement to sign an intergovernmental agreement, will be considered for the return to their homeland.
As the press service of the State Social Protection Fund (SSPF) said, this and other important issues of today's meeting were dedicated by the Chairman of the Committee Salim Muslimova and the Secretary of State of the Ministry of Social Welfare of this Baltic country Ieva Launzeme during the visit to Baku of the President of Latvia Andris Berzins.
According to Muslimov, since January 1, 2006, work on the recognition of pension and other social rights of Azerbaijani citizens living and working abroad has continued. For example, they have nearly completed the process of signing agreements with Estonia, and to this end, the SSPF delegation will leave for Tallinn.
To date the mentioned agreements have been signed with 10 countries, including Turkey, Georgia, Ukraine, Uzbekistan, and Kazakhstan. Negotiations have been also completed with Estonia, Belarus and the Czech Republic. Due to the migration imbalance there is a problem with the relevant services of Russia, but they will be resolved," said Muslimov. - 17D-
