Websites of Azadlig Radio, Meydan TV and Azadlig Newspaper Blocked in Azerbaijan
The number of blocked opposition publications is growing in Azerbaijan. At about 17:00 it became known about the blockade of the most popular opposition sites: Meydan TV and the newspaper Azadlig. As reported by Turan, citing employees of these publications, the entrance to the sites from abroad passes without problems.
The reason for blocking these opposition publications is not clear, but with a high degree of probability it can be assumed that the reason is criticism of the policy of the country's top leadership, and in particular, the appointment of the First Vice President. --0---

At about 15:00 on Monday, access to the website of the Azerbaijani service of Radio Liberty (http://www.azadliq.org/) was blocked. Access to the site is impossible only in the territory of Azerbaijan. The staff of the service, which is based in Prague, did not make any statements on this matter.
The site is blocked not for the first time. In recent months, this has happened at least three times.
The Azerbaijani Ministry of Communications could not explain the reason for this, although it has all the technical capabilities to identify and explain the cause of the problem. This gave grounds to observers to say that the blocking of the website of the Azerbaijani services of Radio Liberty and Voice of America was made at the direction of the authorities, who did not like these or other materials.
The blocking of the above-mentioned sites took place for a long period - before and after the September 2016 referendum, when Ilham Aliyev gave himself unlimited opportunities and when the Azadlig radio published materials on corruption in the highest echelons of power of Azerbaijan prepared by an international journalistic network. -02D-

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.
