Azersu is advancing with institutional modernization. As such the new Baku water & sanitation master plan has been prepared and training of operational staff has continued. These processes are accompanied by gradual introduction of IFRS based accounting system and implementation of audit recommendations submitted by entity auditors contracted under the project. The final Greater Baku Regional Development Plan (GBRDP) document has been disclosed at the final public consultation workshop held in May 2014. The workshop discussed the main findings and recommendations of GBRDP and further steps. All deliverables under this assignment are open to the public and could be commented on the website hosted by the State Committee for Urban Planning and Architecture. While the GBRDP document is submitted for Government's approval, the Bank and Government agreed to continue with broad public awareness campaign on GBRDP.

  • Azerbaijan 2020 Human Rights Report
    AZERBAIJAN 2020 HUMAN RIGHTS REPORT EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The constitution provides for a republic with a presidential form of government. Legislative authority is vested in the Milli Mejlis (National Assembly). The presidency is the predominant branch of government, exceeding the judiciary and legislature. On February 9, the government conducted National Assembly elections. The election observation mission of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe concluded that the National Assembly elections and the 2018 presidential election took place within a restrictive legislative framework and political environment, which prevented genuine competition in these elections. The Ministry of Internal Affairs and the State Security Service are responsible for security within the country and report directly to the president. The Ministry of Internal Affairs oversees local police forces and maintains internal civil defense troops. The State Security Service is responsible for domestic matters, and the Foreign Intelligence Service focuses on foreign intelligence and counterintelligence matters. The State Migration Service and the State Border Service are responsible for migration and border enforcement. Civilian authorities maintained effective control over the security forces. Members of security forces committed some abuses. During 44 days of intensive fighting from September 27 to November 10 involving Azerbaijan, Armenia, and Armenia-supported separatists, significant casualties and atrocities were reported by all sides. After Azerbaijan, with Turkish support, reestablished control over four surrounding territories controlled by separatists since 1994, a Russian-brokered ceasefire arrangement announced by Azerbaijan and Armenia on November 9 resulted in the peaceful transfer of control over three additional territories to Azerbaijan, as well as the introduction of Russian peacekeepers to the region.

  • Is Azerbaijan Becoming a Hub of Radical Islam?
    IS AZERBAIJAN BECOMING A HUB OF RADICAL ISLAM? In this article, the author attempts to explain the leading factors behind growing Islamic influence in Azerbaijan. She describes social, political and economic problems as main triggers of Islam gaining stronghold across the country. The author argues that as a result of continued problems such as corruption, poverty, and semi-authoritarian government combined with disillusionment with the West and support of various religious sects from countries like Iran, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, the rise of fundamental Islam has been inevitable. Arzu Geybullayeva* * The author is Analyst of the European Stability Initiative (ESI) covering Azerbaijan. On the outside, Azerbaijan, an ex-Soviet Republic appears to be a rather remarkable example of progressive and secular Islamic state. Following the dissolution of the Soviet Union in the early ‘90s, the newly formed Azerbaijani government immediately proclaimed itself a secular nation. The main inspiration was the secular ideology adopted from Turkey as a result of accession to power of the Azerbaijani Popular Front led by Abulfaz Elchibey. It was during Elchibey’s short lived presidency between 1992 and 1993 in which he pursued a Turkey-leaning stance that the notion of secularism began to gain a stronghold. During this period Turkey moved swiftly to fill the religious and ideological vacuum left by Russia. Elchibey’s positive attitude towards Turkey not only strengthened economic and political ties with the country, but also played an important role in adopting the Turkish model of strong nationalism and secularism. Yet, over the last few years, Islamic ideology has become visibly pronounced in Azerbaijan.

UNITED NATIONS PUBLICATION Sales No. E.04.II.E.2 ISBN 92-1-116888-0 ISSN 1020-4563 iii Foreword Environmental Performance Reviews for countries-in-transition were initiated by Environment Ministers at the second “Environment for Europe” Conference in Lucerne, Switzerland, in 1993. As a result, the UNECE Committee on Environmental Policy decided to make the Environmental Performance Reviews a part of its regular programme. Ten years later, at the Fifth Ministerial Conference “Environment for Europe (Kiev, 21-23 May 2003), the Ministers confirmed that the UNECE programme of environmental performance reviews (EPR) had made it possible to assess the effectiveness of the efforts of countries with economies in transition to manage the environment, and to offer the Governments concerned tailor-made recommendations on improving environmental management to reduce their pollution load, to better integrate environmental policies into sectoral policies and to strengthen cooperation with the international community. They also reaffirmed their support for the EPR programme as an important instrument for countries with economies in transition, and decided that the programme should continue.
