Ivanovka is a town situated in the Caucasus mountains in the Ismayilli region. Ivanovka itself is well worth half a day of your time. The way that the houses and gardens are laid out reminds you of a Russian village. There is also a majestic theatre, photogenic houses, and a small lake. The Molokan people, with their blue eyes, founded Ivanovka and are extremely friendly and hospitable. The area around Ivanovka is very popular for both expats and ‘locals’. There is also a 5 star wine making factory with a 5 star hotel, Hotel Monolit , where you can watch wine being made and also take part in wine tasting (35 minutes).There are several places near Ivanovka to visit, such as Gabala, Sheki, Lahij, and other attractions. Lahij, a popular tourist stopping point, is only about 1 hour away, and is famous for its authentic local copper handicrafts. The village has a population of 860 and is probably best visited on your last day as it is about 30 minutes outside of Ismayilli on the route back to Baku. Shaki (Sheki) is a further 1 hour drive but is very much well worth the effort with a palace and museums. 3 Cultural Events May 2013 Theatre of Opera and Ballet Russian Drama Theatre Address: 8, 28 may str.

How private opinion can become public opinion. How a nation can stand on its feet again. And for this they are working and waiting, under the ice.” Timothy Garton Ash about Charter 77 in communist Czechoslovakia, February 1984 “How come our nation has been able to transcend the dilemma so typical of defeated societies, the hopeless choice between servility and despair?” Adam Michnik, Letter from the Gdansk Prison, July 1985 Table of contents Executive Summary .........................................................................................................................

It was also applied to the Supreme Soviet of the USSR for the positive solution of this issue.

  • Public Association for Assistance to Free Economy on Condition of Right
    Public Association for Assistance to Free Economy On condition of right to property in 2011-2012 in Azerbaijan Authors: Ulviyya Asadzada Ziya Guliyev Editor: Zohrab Ismayil Corrector: Kamala Aghayeva Baku, Qanun Publication House, 2013 Funded by National Endowment for Democracy. CONTENTS ABBREVIATIONS ECHR European Court of Human Rights PAAFE Public Union for Assistance to Free Economy OJSC Open Joint-Stock Company SOCAR State Oil Company of Azerbaijan Republic UN United Nations SSC State Statistics Committee SCPI State Committee on Property Issues PU Public Union EA Executive Authority PUHRE Public Union on Human Rights Education Ltd. Limited Liability Company HCPU Housing Communal Production Union Navy Naval Forces IPD Institute for Peace and Democracy Mass-media Mass-media 1. SUMMARY The research shows that the causes of the violations of property rights is not a sectoral. Such violations are due to many reasons. One of the main reasons behind the violation of the right to property is similar to other violations of law is itt’s inability to ensure rule of law, dependence of courts on executive structures, politically motivated decisions. İn this regard, attention is brought to the lack of independence of the judicial system of Azerbaijan, and the cases of corruption in the court system in a number of international reports. While analysing the cases of violation of the right to property, in 2011 it becomes evident that the courts have made decisions in favour of the executive authority structures instead of citizens. This decreases the belief of citizens toward the court, causes a situation as if they have “voluntarily” abandoned their properties and “gave up”.

  • Official Media
    WELCOME BACK TO BAKU Dear friends, On behalf of Baku City Circuit, please let me welcome you to the third successive Formula 1 race weekend in Azerbaijan. Last year’s race in Baku was widely recognised as the most exciting and dramatic race of the year – if not the decade – by members of the media, teams, drivers and the global F1 fanbase alike. It truly was a race that had it all culminating in the most unexpected podium line up in many years. The fact that this historic race occurred under our new event title as the FORMULA 1 AZERBAIJAN GRAND PRIX filled us with an even greater sense of pride and satisfaction for a job well done. This year we once again welcome the world to Baku at the slightly earlier date of late April to bear witness to the awe-inspiring sight of F1 cars negotiating one of the fastest and most testing circuits in Formula 1. Baku City Circuit’s winding, narrow sequences, 90-degree turns and high-speed straights - all set against the breath- taking backdrop of Baku’s UNESCO-protected old city, magnificent skylines and beautiful seaside promenade - have proven to be a major challenge to the current F1 grid, resulting in last year’s spectacular outcome and many on-track altercations. We are very confident of a similar explosion of drama, speed and bravery occurring once again for the 2018 edition. Furthermore, the off-track entertainment will be bigger and better than ever before with world-class music, visual and conceptual artists once again performing all along the specially constructed Fan Zone all weekend.
