Baku/04.03.22/Turan: The Office of the Ombudsman has sent a letter to First Deputy Economy Minister Elnur Aliyev invoking Article 1.3 of the Constitutional Law "On Human Rights Ombudsman" to respond to the information request of Mehman Aliyev, Director of Turan News Agency, and to inform the Office of the Ombudsman about it.
