The court rejected the claim of the Ministry of Finance against NGOs
Baku / 02.10.18 / Turan: The court did not satisfy the claim of the Ministry of Finance against the Public Association of Economic Education "Modern World", Turan was told by the lawyer Elchin Mamed, who was the legal representative of the said NGO at the trial. According to him, the Ministry of Finance considered that the NGO did not submit a financial report for 2017, and thus violated the Article 462 of the Code of Administrative Offenses, which results in a large monetary fine. However, the judge of the Sumgayit City Court, Fikret Aliyev, ruled in favor of NGOs, finding that the actions of NGOs did not contain an element of an administrative offense. Thus, the NGO officially notified the tax authority of the absence of activity during the reporting period. According to Mamed, the Ministry of Finance likewise enforced a fine from the Hatun Women's Assistance Association. -06C-

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."
