Protection of the Proprietary Right, Recommendations of Institute of Peace and Democracy (IPD)
1. Demand that persons visiting you at your home present certificates to identify their service in executive agencies and/or police
2. Do not let ANYONE in who refuses presentation of certificates, and do not speak to them. Persons in police uniform must present their police certificates!!!
3. Make sure that you photograph or copy out presented certificates
4. Install a photo or video camera at the entry door to record persons introducing themselves as housing department personnel, executive and police officials. Make sure that you photograph in spite of certificates presented. It is your right to photograph any person at your place.
5. Make sure that you record conversations with visitors using a dictaphone, a tape recorder, etc.
6. Do not sign for receipt of any papers unless properly stamped by a relevant organization and signed by an authorized person.
7. Make sure that you familiarize yourself with provisions of the AR Constitution (Articles 13, 29), Civil (Article 157) and Housing Codes (Article 31) currently in force (available on the internet).
8. Make sure that you familiarize yourself with the AR Law on Police. Brochures with the Law on Police and comments by senior officers of the AR Internal Ministry and OSCE experts (in Azerbaijani) are available free of charge in the IPD Office. The brochures were published during the joint project of IM, OSCE and IPD.
9. We strongly recommend that citizens who are not happy (exclusively these citizens!) with proposals on redemption of their property apply to court.
10. Electronic versions of photos of persons who visited you at your home, photos of their ID cards, records of conversations with an enclosed copy of your ID card (specifying your address) and the date of their visit to your home should be submitted to IPD by e-mail (ipd1995@gmail.com)or in hard copies at 1-2, 38 Shamsi Badalbeyli street, from 14.30 to 18.00 (except for Sunday).
Item 10 shall apply only to citizens who want their collected materials to form the basis of a report of international human rights organizations on legal arbitrariness and massive violations of rights of citizens of the capital of Azerbaijan.
My dear countrymen,
I am firmly confident that your materials will contribute to the execution of the call of President Ilham Aliyev, "I request that ... all citizens of Azerbaijan inform the Presidential Administration ... about all unpalatable facts, all kinds of unfairness, unreasonable demands, to urgently eliminate these blunders and this evil", and make a difference in the anti-corruption fight carried on by Mr. Ramiz Mehdiyev, Chairman of State Anti-Corruption Commission.

In a bit of historic irony, powerful oligarch Bidzina Ivanishvili has managed to inspire rare unity across Georgia’s cacophonous political scene twice in his life. His money and influence forged the broad-based consolidation of opposition forces that brought him to power in 2012, and now, 12 years and three electoral cycles later, a similar pattern of opposition convergence could send him packing.

Russian authorities and pro-Kremlin influencers have been spreading false information about alleged Reporters Without Borders (RSF) research into Nazi tendencies within the Ukrainian military, which was featured in a viral video falsely attributed to the BBC. RSF exposes the inner workings of a disinformation campaign designed to justify President Vladimir Putin's war narrative.

I welcome respected media representatives, professional and honest journalists from places of detention. July 22 is an important day for journalists, mass media and teachers of Azerbaijan. 149 years ago, Hassan Bey Zardabi, the great educator, the most valuable thinker, the founder of our journalism, lit the first light for society to come out of darkness, giving humanity the newspaper “AKINCI.”

The past day has not clarified the question of why the meeting between Aliyev and Pashinyan in London on July18 broke down. The announcement of the upcoming meeting was made a week ago from Armenian sources, and Baku was silent about the upcoming meeting.
