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”. -

Together with SOCAR’s* non- financial parameters, this re- port reflects on the steps taken to achieve social and economic targets, preserve the environ- ment and resolve environmen- tal issues. Unlike the last year’s report, the 2012 report demonstrates that the Company’s deci- sion-making process is guided by the principles of comprehen- sive approach towards social and economic development along with environmental pre- servation. This has been made possible by applying transpa- rent and advanced international standards and creating added value in operations. Compared to the last year, this report covered more parame- ters which reflect the results of the Company’s sustainable development. We cannot call 2012 an or- dinary year. During this year the Company not only man- aged to preserve its dynamic development in the Caspian region but also took significant steps to become a reputable organization on a global scale. This proves that the Company successfully follows defined strategic priorities and adopts balanced administrative deci- sions. -

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. -
