Sattar Mohbalayev Resigns as Chairman of the Azerbaijan Trade Unions Confederation
At the 7th Congress of the Azerbaijan Trade Unions Confederation held on August 26, Sattar Mohbalayev resigned from his post as chairman of the organization.
The resignation was explained by Mohbalayev's "lack of time" due to his participation as a candidate in the extraordinary parliamentary elections for the Milli Majlis on September 1.
Interestingly, since holding the position as head of the Confederation since 1993, Mohbalayev had previously found enough time to both run for and serve as a deputy in the Milli Majlis for the 2nd through 6th convocations.
Sahib Ali oglu Mammadov, a 46-year-old, was "unanimously" elected to replace Mohbalayev.
He is a graduate of the Faculty of International Law at Kyiv State University.
Since 2014, Mammadov has worked in the Ministry of Economy, and since 2021, he has held the position of Deputy Head of this department.

The court records from the trial of Teymur Kerimov, the head of the YouTube channel Kanal-11, were falsified, the declaration distributed by Kerimov's colleagues. “The court documents are distorted. They misrepresented the testimony of citizens. For instance, the victim Leila Almaszadeh stated in court that she had no complaints against me. In court, she said, “Teymur did not ask me for money and did not receive any money from me.” However, the court protocol states that she is complaining about me and demands the removal of illegally recorded videos,” writes Kerimov.
