Obtained research materials also scientific literature materials had been intended when the spectrum of area ornithofauna compiled. According to gathered materials it was determined that 255 bird species spread in the area, these belong to 18 group, 51 family and 144 genus. The urgent protection status of spreading species in the area had been determined, the information had been gathered about number of some few number species, endangered species had been specified. When we pay attention to division of species for seasonal character, come across whole year had been 92, coming for to breed 85, come across in the wintering 38, come across in migration time 26 and do not breed summer visitors had been 14 species. It was determined that 38 species of 255 are fewer when these valued, 10 species of these are characteristic for Nakhchivan ornithofauna. Majority of sedentary-growing birds are sparrow (86 species) and falcons (16 species). Keywords: Nakhchivan autonomous republic, ornithofauna, Parus ater, Lanius nubicus, species 1. Introduction The Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic (NAR), forms part of Azerbaijan and has a very high biodiversity with diverse landscapes and varied climatic conditions making it attractive as a research subject. From a geological point of view, the NAR lies at the south-east end of the Lesser Caucasus Mountains, an important part of Western Asia that contains a large number of endemics amongst its flora and fauna. The NAR also has representatives of flora and fauna from other biogeography regions [1, 6, 10, 9, 14]. A large part of the NAR is considered a priority corridor of the Caucasus Ecoregional Hotspot. However, scientific data about the NAR ornithofauna still reflects the situation at the end of the 19th century [5, 12, 13, 15, 21]. During the last 15-20 years, there have been noticeable changes in the structure of agriculture, the creation [11, 15, 17, 18] of new wildlife protected areas, and regular conflicts on the border with Armenia . Thus, a current review of bird species in the NAR was required. 2. Materials and methods The area of the NAR that is included in the Western Asia zoogeographical region has a very [3] dynamic landscape with different climate, soil, plant cover and relief . In order to adapt to these natural features, specific ornithofauna has evolved in this region which has been nominated as a separate ornithogeographical area [8, 19]. The field expeditions had been carried out in all seasons of 2003-2016 years in different natural, anthropogenic landscape and biotope of Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic. During the investigation pay attention to relief, climate, soil, vegetation type of area, permanent observation settlement which differ each other had been chosen. Mainly in the spring, autumn months and in all seasons the area investigations had been carried out in certain stations. All parameters had been valued when stationaries chose, the geographical features of area and certain ecological characteristics of species take into account which can be observe maximal level. Correspondence Generally transect method had been used during bird observation which carried out around the Arzu Mammadov area of river and lakes. According to this method the registration of observations must carried Institute of Bioresources out along one line which determined before.

  • Turkey Birding Eastern Anatolia Th Th 10 June to 20 June 2021 (11 Days)
    Turkey Birding Eastern Anatolia th th 10 June to 20 June 2021 (11 days) Caspian Snowcock by Alihan Vergiliel Turkey, a country the size of Texas, is a spectacular avian and cultural crossroads. This fascinating nation boasts an ancient history, from even before centuries of Greek Roman and Byzantine domination, through the 500-year Ottoman Empire and into the modern era. Needless to say, with such a pedigree the country holds some very impressive archaeological and cultural sites. Our tour of Eastern Turkey starts in the eastern city of Van, formerly known as Tuspa and 3,000 years ago the capital city of the Urartians. Today there are historical structures from the Seljuk and Ottoman periods, and Urartian artifacts can be seen at its archaeological museum. RBL Turkey Itinerary 2 However, it is the birds that are of primary interest to us as here, at the eastern limits of the Western Palearctic, we expect to find some very special and seldom-seen species, including Mountain ‘Caucasian’ Chiffchaff, Green Warbler, Mongolian Finch and Grey-headed Bunting. Around the shores of Lake Van we will seek out Moustached and Paddyfield Warblers in the dense reed beds, while on the lake itself, our targets include Marbled Teal, the threatened White-headed Duck, Dalmatian Pelican, Pygmy Cormorant and Armenian Gull, plus a selection of waders that may include Terek and Broad-billed Sandpiper. As we move further north-east into the steppe and semi desert areas, we will attempt to find Great Bustards and Demoiselle Cranes, with a potential supporting cast of Montagu’s Harrier, Steppe Eagle, the exquisite Citrine Wagtail and Twite, to name but a few.

Procedure 1. On 1 June 2018, the motion for a resolution on “Political prisoners in Azerbaijan” (Doc. 14538) was referred to the Committee on Legal Affairs and Human Rights for report.2 I was appointed rapporteur by the Committee at its meeting in Strasbourg on 26 June 2018. 1.2. Issues at stake 2. The issue of political prisoners in Azerbaijan has been of concern to the Council of Europe since the time of the country’s accession. Following the 2001 examination of cases by the independent experts of the Secretary General (SG/Inf(2001)34, discussed below), the Parliamentary Assembly, in its Resolution 1272 (2002) on political prisoners in Azerbaijan, reiterated that no-one may be imprisoned for political reasons in a Council of Europe member state. In its Resolution 1359 (2004), the Assembly “formally ask[ed] the government of Azerbaijan for the immediate release on humanitarian grounds of political prisoners whose state of health is very critical, prisoners whose trials were illegal, prisoners having been political activists or eminent members of past governments, and members of their families, friends or persons who were linked to them … [and] the remaining political prisoners already identified on the experts' list.” In 2005, the Assembly adopted Resolution 1457 and Recommendation 1711, recalling its previous resolutions and, inter alia, calling on the Committee of Ministers to join it in adopting a joint position on the issue of political prisoners in Azerbaijan.

Present-day Armenia is bounded by Georgia to the north, Iran to the south-east, Azerbaijan to the east and Turkey to the west. From 1920 to 1991 Armenia was a Soviet Socialist Republic within the USSR, but historically its land encompassed a much greater area including parts of all present-day bordering countries (see fig.). At its greatest extent it occupied the plateau covering most of what is now central and eastern Turkey (c. 300,000 sq. km) bounded on the north by the Pontic Range and on the south by the Taurus and Kurdistan mountains. During the 11th century another Armenian state was formed to the west of Historic Armenia on the Cilician plain in south-east Asia Minor, bounded by the Taurus Mountains on the west and the Amanus (Nur) Mountains on the east. Its strategic location between East and West made Historic or Greater Armenia an important country to control, and for centuries it was a battlefield in the struggle for power between surrounding empires. Periods of domination and division have alternated with centuries of independence, during which the country was divided into one or more kingdoms.

Keywords: Great spotted cuckoo, Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic, mating, breeding season Introduction The Caucasus is one of the biodiversity hotspots, including Georgia, Azerbaijan (Nakhchivan AR), Armenia, and partly northern Iran (Fig. 1). According to Conservation International and WWF, this region is home to many endemic species and is one of the essential hotspot regions in terms of biodiversity (https://www.caucasus-naturefund.org/ecoregion/). The formation of the Caucasus goes back to the Oligocene age (33.7–23.8 Ma); while it was a small continental island in this period, it became a natural barrier by rising at the end of the Pliocene (5–2 Ma) (Demirsoy, 2008).

  • £AZERBAIJAN @Allegations of Ill-Treatment in Detention
    £AZERBAIJAN @Allegations of ill-treatment in detention Introduction Amnesty International continues to receive allegations of ill-treatment of detainees by Azerbaijani law enforcement officials. In some cases it has been alleged that prisoners have been beaten in pre-trial detention in order to obtain confessions, and that family members of suspects in hiding have been beaten in an attempt to obtain information on their relatives’ whereabouts. In other cases it has been alleged that prisoners in ill-health have not received adequate medical treatment, and that at least two people died as a result of this over the last year. General conditions for many in pre-trial detention are also reported to be harsh, with overcrowding so severe in some prisons that inmates are forced to take it in turns to sleep while others in the cell stand. Restricted access by independent observers makes verification of these allegations difficult, and Amnesty International has had no response to its concerns about ill-treatment which have been raised on a number of occasions with the Azerbaijani authorities. Cases illustrating Amnesty International’s concerns are detailed below. They relate to political prisoners1, although Amnesty International is also concerned about other more general allegations about ill-treatment of criminal prisoners. Deaths in custody Shahmardan Mahammad oglu Jafarov Shahmardan (also known as Shahsultan ) Jafarov died in custody in the Azerbaijani capital of Baku during the night of 29 to 30 June 1995. A parliamentarian and a member of the opposition Popular Front of Azerbaijan (PFA), he had sustained serious gunshot wounds in a clash with police on 17 June 1995 near the village of Abragunis in the Julfa district of the Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic (NAR).
