The trial in the case of "immoral water pipeline" is delayed
Today, on February 22, was to be held a trial in connection with the refusal of Azersu OJSC to respond to a request for information agency Turan on July 27, 2016. However, the meeting did not take place for the reason that in a lawsuit the plaintiff was listed director of the agency Mehman Aliyev, as a physical person. He, in turn, refused to speak on behalf of the individual, stating that the request was on behalf of the agency. The judge offered to create a new lawsuit on behalf of the Agency, and Aliyev agreed.
The information request was sent in connection with the preparation of material for the construction of "immoral water pipeline" by the Azersu state company for a couple of high-ranking officials of the president Aliyev’s administration in the settlement of Buzovna suffering from a shortage of water.
The Agency wrote two articles on the subject, and obtained the suspension of construction. But later at night, Azersu completed the construction of the unfinished part of the water pipeline, and it was put into operation.

On October 11, 2016 the Agency appealed to the Administrative Economic Court №1, to get an answer in the manner prescribed by law (Freedom of Information Act, about the fight against corruption, administrative offenses, the Administrative Procedure Code), but the letter was lost in court.
On December 5, 2016 the agency repeatedly appealed to the court. A judge Tahir Asadov on the same day, referring to the Code of Administrative Procedure, sent a letter to Azersu, calling on the company to submit to the court a response to the information request from Turan agency.
A month later, the Director of the Turan Agency Mehman Aliyev reminded the judge Asadova about the absence of a response, and asked to appoint a judicial trial.
On January 9 Asadova again sent a letter asking for an answer, stating that there was not answer for her request sent on December 5. And again, at the insistence of Aliyev on January 25 Asadova appointed a hearing on February 22.
It is noteworthy that the trial of another lawsuit of the Agency against Azersu in connection with water meters the judge Sharafat Mammadova clarified whether Aliyev acted on its own behalf or on behalf of the agency and does he see the defendant the head of Azersu or the company itself? After Aliyev said that he presented the claim on behalf of the legal person against a legal entity, were demanded the relevant documents of the agency, and the trial continued. A total of nine hearings were held, and they were partially successful. The Agency intends to obtain a complete response from Azersu through the Court of Appeal.-0-

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."
