Introduction 1. Child policy is an integral part of the state policy of the Republic of Azerbaijan. Protection of children’s rights and freedoms, providing children with good quality education and health care services meeting high standards, taking care of them, and creation of necessary conditions for children to grow in high-level moral and social environment, and shaping as all-round persons and dignified citizens constitute priority directions of the child policy of the Republic of Azerbaijan. 2. The Republic of Azerbaijan has joined the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child on July 21 1992, and later ratified the Convention’s Optional Protocols. The Republic of Azerbaijan also has joined the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities on October 2, 2008 adopted by the UN General Assembly on December 13, 2006. 3. Nowadays, people under the age of 18 constitute 29% of the country’s population. 152,100 babies were born in 2008 in Azerbaijan, and 48,400 babies – during 4 months of the current year. 53.4% of them are boys and 46.6% – girls. According to calculations, the average lifetime for children born last year is estimated 72.6 years, including 69.9 years for boys and 75.4 years for girls. 4. Since the last reporting year, the integrated State body dealing with children, women and family issues in the Republic of Azerbaijan – The State Committee for Family, Women and Children Affairs was established on February 6, 2006 by Decree #361 of the President of the Republic of Azerbaijan. 5. A Republican Coordination Center on Child Issues under the leadership of the State Committee for Family, Women and Children Affairs was established based on the Final Opinion of 41st Session of UN Committee on the Rights of the Child in 2006 and its recommendations to the Republic of Azerbaijan. 6. 2009 was announced “Child Year” in Azerbaijan in December 22, 2008 by a Decree #103 of the President of Azerbaijan. The President of Azerbaijan has approved the Action Plan related to the Child Year by his Decree #163 of February 18, 2009. 7. Creation of appropriate conditions for upbringing of children in healthy environment, increasing of the State care to the children deprived from parental care, prevention of negligence towards children, exploitation of child labor, violence against them etc. are main directions of the State policy on child problems.

  • ARMENIA's LATEST ATTACKS on CIVILIANS in GANJA October 16
    ARMENIA’S LATEST ATTACKS ON CIVILIANS IN GANJA October 16, 2020 Just minutes ago, Armenia launched another SCUD ballistic missile into a residential neighborhood in Azerbaijan’s second largest city of Ganja. With numerous casualties, this is the second SCUD attack on civilian residents of Ganja some 40 kilometers away from the frontline. The first attack resulted in 10 deaths and many more injured. Just like any other desperate militaristic regime, Armenia continues to commit war crimes against civilians in order to distract from its battlefield losses and the illegal occupation of Azerbaijan. The background is in the attached document. Updated: 10/16/2020 Embassy of the Republic of Azerbaijan to the United States of America Washington, D.C. FACT SHEET ARMENIA’S ONGOING AGGRESSION AGAINST AZERBAIJAN Latest update: • Azerbaijan has expressed its readiness to resume substantive negotiations with Armenia, based on the basic principles, under the auspices of the OSCE Minsk Group as soon as possible. Unfortunately, the Armenian side avoids the peace talks insisting on certain preconditions and continues to undermine the established negotiation format. • Along with disregarding international appeals to engage in substantive and comprehensive negotiations, Armenia attempts to expand the scope of the conflict and destabilize the whole region by involving neighbor countries into the conflict. For this reason, Armenia fired multiple missiles from its territory inside Azerbaijani civilian centers calculated to provoke retaliation. After hitting Ganja, Mingachevir and even Absheron peninsula, on October 15, Armenian forces launched operational- tactical missile from the occupied Gubadli on Ordubad district of Autonomous Nakhchivan Republic.1 On October 16, civilian settlements in Ganja and Mingachevir were hit for the third time during the last two weeks.2 • Over the last few weeks, Armenia has significantly intensified imports of weapons and ammunition, including through flights many of which are conducted under the disguise of humanitarian cargo planes.

  • Proceedings Chapter
    Proceedings Chapter Gold deposits of the Lesser Caucasus: products of successive Mesozoic and Cenozoic geodynamic settings MORITZ, Robert, et al. Abstract Gold deposits were formed during two different geodynamic evolution stages of the Lesser Caucasus, starting with Mesozoic arc construction along the Eurasian margin, and followed by Cenozoic subduction-related to post-collision magmatism and tectonics during final Arabia- Eurasia convergence and accretion. Gold deposits are of the low-, and intermediate- to high-sulfidation type, with the latter ones being associated with porphyry deposits. Some deposits could be analogous to transitional VMS-epithermal systems in the Late Cretaceous Bolnisi district and during nascent Jurassic arc evolution along the Eurasian margin, but require further investigation.

  • Phytosociological Features of Frigana Vegetation of Nakhchivan, Azerbaijan
    Bangladesh J. Bot. 49(2): 273-286, 2020 (June) PHYTOSOCIOLOGICAL FEATURES OF FRIGANA VEGETATION OF NAKHCHIVAN, AZERBAIJAN 1 1 2 3 MT JABBAROV*, AS IBRAGIMOV , FH NABIEVA , VV ATAMOV AND S KARAMAN ERKUL Department of Botany, Faculty of Biology, Baku State University, Baku, Azerbaijan Keywords: Phytosociological features, Frigana, Vegetation, Classification Abstract The phytosociological and floristic properties of mountain xerophyte plant associations (Frigana) spread on the territory of Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic of Azerbaijan were investigated. These unions are dominated by barbed and grassy plants. On the other hand Acantholimon spp., Astragalus spp. and Onobrychis cornuta are common in the area and dominant in the mountainous regions of Nakhchivan. The major parts of Shahbuz, Julfa and Ordubad are dominanted by vegetation. In the floristic composition of the frigana units the shrubs are dominant and the characteristic species are: Pyrus oxyprion, Astragalus microcephalus, Astragalus aureus, Juniperus polycarpos, Rhamnus pallasii, Atraphaxis spinosa, Acantholimon bracteatum, Rhus coriaria, Acer ibericum, Lonicera iberica, Prangos ferulacea, Thymus kotschyanus etc. The frigana units dominate the region's vegetation. The mountainous xerophyte vegetation encompasses strongly torn by relief, rocky slopes, and talus of the territory of the mountains. The continentalization of the climate after the glacial era, as well as the advent of anthropogenic activity, appears to be effective in expanding the range of vegetation. Although skeleton is the only plant bitumen in the rocky slopes, it is important to protect the dive lining of the slopes along the slopes and to prevent the wash away and spoilage residues. Introduction The frigana vegetation is not only distributed in Minor Caucasus, but also in other mountainous regions of Azerbaijan such as Talysh, Bozdag, Great Caucasus and Nakhchivan.

Degree awarded June 2019 ii © 2019 Peter Alois Orte iii THESIS ABSTRACT Peter Alois Orte Master of Arts Department of Russian, East European, and Eurasian Studies June 2019 Title: Akram Aylisli, Village Prose, World Literature This thesis takes Akram Aylisli’s Farewell, Aylis as an occasion to dwell on World Literature. Tracing Aylisli’s development as a Soviet writer of Azerbaijani “village prose,” I follow the displacements of the village enacted in his recent works. These displacements reflect Aylisli’s response to the violent events associated with the end of the Soviet Union in the South Caucasus. While carrying on the traditions of “village prose” in a way, Aylisli stands against the chauvinistic forces that conscripted many of its leading figures in Russia. Aylisli’s response rather involves 1) addressing taboo histories of communal violence denied by nationalist mythologies and 2) claiming kinship with authors beyond the established national literature of Azerbaijan.

Therefore, proposals from the public to SSAC are analyzed, demands of graduates are studied, summarized, and changes are made in necessary cases. The innovations are intended to provide the integration of logistics, content and technology of admission examinations into the international standards. The following innovations were applied in the process of admission examinations to higher and specialized secondary education institutions for the academic year of 2010 – 2011: 1.
