Activist Teachers Reinstated at Work
Baku / 09.26.17 / Turan: Aflatun Ahmadzadeh and his wife Ulker Ahmadzadeh, who were dismissed from work in the Neftchala district, were reinstated by a court decision in their positions, A. Ahmadzadeh told Turan.
"Five months ago we challenged the school principals' decision to dismiss us from work in court. Finally, on September 25 the court found both orders of the principals unreasonable," A. Ahmadzadeh said. The court also decided to pay the teachers their five-month salary.
A. Ahmadzadeh and U. Ahmadzadeh will continue their work at School No. 1 in the Mayakkend village and at the Nizami Ganjavi school in Neftchala, respectively.
In April, they were dismissed from their jobs in connection with political activities and participation in opposition rallies. They were charged with "conducting political conversations at school" and "disrupting the educational process."
A. Ahmadzadeh is also chairman of the Neftchala district organization of the Popular Front Party of Azerbaijan. -06D

The closure of Azerbaijan's land borders was discussed during the parliamentary session on November 25. While the government’s decision cites the coronavirus pandemic as the main reason—despite the World Health Organization declaring its end last year—Zahid Oruj, Chair of the Human Rights Committee in the Milli Majlis, pointed to other factors. He stated, "Opening the borders could result in an influx of hundreds of thousands of non-Azerbaijani refugees due to the Russia-Ukraine war. Additionally, in Iran, many are prepared to cross into Azerbaijan to safeguard their lives and assets amid military strikes. Such waves of refugees could lead to humanitarian, social, and cultural clashes that may threaten political stability."
