  • Azerbaijan 2015 International Religious Freedom Report
    AZERBAIJAN 2015 INTERNATIONAL RELIGIOUS FREEDOM REPORT Executive Summary The constitution protects the right of individuals to express their religious beliefs. Several laws and policies limit the free exercise of religion, especially for members of religious groups the government considered “nontraditional.” Authorities restricted the fundamental freedoms of assembly and expression and narrowed the operating space for civil society, including religious groups. The government detained several religious activists. Although reliable figures were unavailable, some local observers estimated the number of religious activists they considered to be political prisoners totaled 46, compared to 52 in 2014. Authorities raided gatherings of minority religious groups, including Jehovah’s Witnesses, Salafis, readers of texts by Islamic theologian Said Nursi, and suspected followers of the Islamic cleric and theologian Fethullah Gulen. Some religious organizations experienced difficulty registering with the government, and unregistered communities could not openly meet. The government imposed limits on the import, distribution, and sale of religious materials. The government sponsored workshops and seminars to promote religious tolerance, hosting the international Inter-Religious Dialogue on Religious Tolerance series, and supporting activities by the Jewish community. There were no reports of significant societal actions affecting religious freedom. U.S. embassy and visiting Department of State officials discussed religious freedom issues, including the government’s arrests of Jehovah’s Witnesses and treatment of minority religious groups, with government representatives. The embassy urged the government to address registration difficulties of religious groups and obstacles to the importation of religious literature and met with leaders of religious groups and nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) to discuss specific concerns related to religious freedom.

    Azerbaijan Page 1 of 8 Azerbaijan BUREAU OF DEMOCRACY, HUMAN RIGHTS, AND LABOR International Religious Freedom Report 2009 October 26, 2009 The Constitution provides for freedom of religion. On March 18, 2009, however, a national referendum approved a series of amendments to the Constitution; two amendments limit the spreading of and propagandizing of religion. Additionally, on May 8, 2009, the Milli Majlis (Parliament) passed an amended Law on Freedom of Religion, signed by the President on May 29, 2009, which could result in additional restrictions to the system of registration for religious groups. In spite of these developments, the Government continued to respect the religious freedom of the majority of citizens, with some notable exceptions for members of religions considered nontraditional. There was some deterioration in the status of respect for religious freedom by the Government during the reporting period. There were changes to the Constitution that undermined religious freedom. There were mosque closures, and state- and locally sponsored raids on evangelical Protestant religious groups. There were reports of monitoring by federal and local officials as well as harassment and detention of both Islamic and nontraditional Christian groups. There were reports of discrimination against worshippers based on their religious beliefs, largely conducted by local authorities who detained and questioned worshippers without any legal basis and confiscated religious material. There were sporadic reports of societal abuses or discrimination based on religious affiliation, belief, or practice. There was some prejudice against Muslims who converted to other faiths, and there was occasional hostility toward groups that proselytized, particularly evangelical Christians, and other missionary groups.

  • Armenian Crimes
    ARMENIAN CRIMES KHOJALY GENOCIDE Over the night of 25-26 February 1992, following massive artillery bombardment, the Armenian armed forces and paramilitary units, with the support of the former USSR’s 366th Motorized Infantry Regiment attacked an Azerbaijani town of Khojaly. Around 2,500 remaining inhabitants attempted to flee the town in order to reach Aghdam, the nearest city under Azerbaijani control. However, their hope was in vain. The Armenian forces and paramilitary units ambushed and slaughtered the fleeing civilians near the villages of Nakhchivanly and Pirjamal. Other civilians, including women and children were either captured by the Armenian soldiers or froze to death in the snowy forest. Only a few were able to reach Aghdam. 1 During the assault both former presidents of Armenia, Serzh Sargsyan and Robert Kocharian, as well as other high-ranking officials (Zori Balayan, Vitaly Balasanyan and etc) of Armenia, participated personally in the Khojaly Genocide. Speaking to foreign journalists, Armenia’s leaders have admitted their participation and shown no remorse. 2 THE VICTIMS OF THE KHOJALY GENOCIDE • 613 people killed, including 63 children; 106 women; 70 elderly; • 8 families completely annihilated; • 25 children lost both parents; • 130 children lost one parent; • 487 wounded; • 1275 taken hostage; • 150 still missing. 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 KHOJALY GENOCIDE IN INTERNATIONAL MEDIA The Khojaly tragedy was widely covered in the international media despite the information blockade and the large-scale Armenian propaganda effort. The world community could not close eyes to the gravity of this crime against humanity and cruelty of perpetrators. 12 13 14 15 16 17 THE JUSTICE FOR KHOJALY CAMPAIGN The Justice for Khojaly International Awareness Campaign was initiated in 2008 by Leyla Aliyeva, the Vice President of the Heydar Aliyev Foundation.

  • Reduced Human Suffering in Conflict-Affected Areas A
    I. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY USAID Strategic Objective 3.1: Reduced Human Suffering in Conflict-Affected Areas A. OVERVIEW This Final Report covers the entire 96 months, from January 15, 1998 to January 14, 2006, of the Azerbaijan Humanitarian Assistance Program (AHAP) managed by Mercy Corps and funded by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) through an umbrella mechanism. The initial 24 months of programming under AHAP I (May 1998 through April 2000) provided health and nutrition services, shelter, economic opportunities, and information services. AHAP II programs (May 2000 through September 2005) addressed health, reproductive health, food, economic opportunities and social investment needs through community development and mobilization. During AHAP I, 16 programs operated throughout much of Azerbaijan, and during AHAP II the programming continued to reach much of the population in 23 regions in the country. In total, 18 subgrants operated in the four geographic areas of AHAP II: Southern area, Central area, Urban area and Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic (NAR). From May of 2000, AHAP provided assistance to 2,923,281 direct recipients, 1,551,100 (53%) of which are women. (See AHAP I and AHAP II sections for maps indicating geographic coverage and implementing partners.) AHAP I addressed issues related to the displacement of people because of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict. It provided mud brick shelters for IDPs to replace their deplorable living conditions in public buildings and makeshift dwellings; addressed water and sanitation issues; delivered primary health care, food and health education to over 300,000 IDPs; began working with people on ways to improve the economic situation including micro-credit, agriculture and business training, and providing agricultural inputs such as seeds and seedlings.
