The National Council of Democratic Forces (NCDF) refused to participate in parliamentary elections on November 1st, reads the statement of the 10 September on NCDF. "The country does not have even half of the necessary conditions for free and fair elections. Therefore the NCDF refuses to participate in the "imitation" of the elections, and does not want to be a means to legitimize them," noted in a statement.
On 19 August the NCDF proposed a number of measures necessary for the democratization of the electoral situation:
- Stop the repression, the immediate release of political prisoners, an end to persecution of political opponents;
- Eliminate obstacles to the activities of the opposition, to stop the restriction of political rights, ensure freedom of assembly throughout the country;
- Discontinue pressure on the independent media, create conditions for free debate on television, to increase free airtime for candidates from the opposition, to create conditions for paid airtime;
- Change the election commissions with the participation of real opposition, to simplify the procedure of registration of candidates, to ensure unhindered access of observers to polling and counting, to ensure their original protocol on the results of the elections.
Until these problems are unresolved, there is no doubt that the outcome of the election will be decided not in the polling stations, but in the presidential administration, the statement said.
* The bone of the NCDF created in 2013 is the Popular Front Party, as well as a large group of public and civil society activists of democratic orientation. -03B-

In 2017, the Sumgayit City Court ruled to evict the Aliyev family—refugees from Gubadli (Akper, Sarvinaz, Ramil, and two other family members)—from an illegally occupied apartment in the 12th microdistrict, Building 7A, Apartment 35. The court ordered the property be returned to its rightful owner, Samaya Aliyeva. However, the Ministry of Justice intervened, citing a presidential decree from July 1, 2004, which approved a state program for improving the living and working conditions of refugees. Under this directive, refugees without alternative housing cannot be evicted until they are provided with a replacement residence by the Executive Authority.
