    AZAY GULIYEV: "UNLESS WAR IS OVER, COOPERATION WITH ARMENIA IS OUT OF QUESTION"

    Ïðaâî Âûaîða, Azerbaijan
    Democratic Azerbaijan
    May 8 2007

    "It is necessary to pass draft law prohibiting Azerbaijani NGOs to
    establish contacts with Armenia"

    Recent Milli Mejlis meeting was started with discussions of existing
    problems. Deputies expressed their views concerning number of issues
    they take interest in.

    Milli Mejlis deputy, Panakh Husein, informed about violations of
    human rights of workers at construction objects. Accordingly to him,
    parliament should pay special attention to this problem. At the same
    time he proposed to restore 1 May holiday.

    Deputy, Azay Guliyev, told participants that recently contacts
    between Azerbaijani NGOs and Armenian ones have become extremely
    intensive. Accordingly to him, in near future new visit of the group
    of Azerbaijan NGOs to Armenia is expected. Head of national forum of
    NGOs informed that Armenian leadership uses visits of representatives
    of Azerbaijani NGOs for their own interests. He holds that with
    establishing contacts between NGOs of both countries Armenia attempts
    to prove that Nagorni Garabagh problem doesn't create problems for
    mutual contacts of both nations. A. Guliyev stressed that despite
    everything in Azerbaijan there is no law that impedes contacts of
    Azerbaijani and Armenian NGOs. For this reason it is impossible to
    stop visits of our NGOs representatives to Armenia. Chairman of NGOs
    forum proposed to pass draft law which will prohibit representatives
    of Azerbaijani NGOs to visit neighboring country. Accordingly to
    him, only contacts between Azerbaijani NGOs and Armenians living in
    Nagorni Garabagh as they are citizens of Azerbaijan may be considered
    to be expedient.

    Chairman of People's Front Party of Azerbaijan, Milli Mejlis deputy,
    Gudret Hasanguliyev, touched upon processes going on in Association of
    Football Federation of Azerbaijan. He accused leadership of association
    of wrong policy. As parliament member said, leadership of AFFA takes
    wrong decision connected with football facing no objections. "I think
    that leadership of country should express attitude to activity of
    the above said association. It is necessary to clarify this issue".

    Milli Mejlis member, Igbal Agazade, touched upon the issue of
    systematic moving of representative of different ethnic groups from
    different countries to Azerbaijan. He underlined that such practice
    is scheduled and causes concern among population. Parliament member
    declared that there is information concerning moving of Kurds from
    Turkey to some regions of our country. I. Agazade stressed that the
    event took place some days ago on the border with Georgia should serve
    as a signal. He proposed standing parliamentary commission on legal
    policy and state structure to investigate this issue with assistance
    of relevant state structures.

    In his turn, deputy, Vahid Ahmadov, proposed his colleagues to present
    their views relating to discovered burial places in Guba, as it is
    very important. Accordingly to parliament member, in connection
    with the mentioned issue "round table" meeting was organized by
    "Yeni Azerbaijan" party. The same party visited the place.

    Milli Mejlis deputy, Zahid Oruj, expressed his view concerning the
    fact that recently state of mass media in Azerbaijan hasn't changed
    for better. Accordingly to him, these problems are being caused by
    mass media itself as personal qualities of some press organs are
    not on desirable level. As Z. Oruj holds that another such kind of
    problem relating to mass media is financing from unknown sources. The
    fact that some mass media serve as barricade on the way of fight of
    political parties for power is referred by deputy as third problem.

    At the same time, accordingly to Z. Oruj, opposition press organs of
    Azerbaijan are involved with moral terror.

    Then deputies started discussing issues of the agenda, having
    started from amendments to Administrative Code. Chairman of standing
    commission on legal policy and state structure, Ali Huseinov, informed
    that envisaged amendments are of technical nature. Thus, the item
    connected with fines for violation taking place during payment making
    with population will be removed from the mentioned document, as this
    item is enshrined in Tax Code.

    Discussion of the law "On Azerbaijani Society of Red Crescent" was held
    during second reading. Information concerning mentioned document was
    presented by chairman of standing parliamentary commission on human
    rights, Rabiyat Aslanoav. After discussions document was adopted at
    the second reading.

    Amendments to "Regulation on working for state tax structures" were
    made during meeting. Accordingly to new version financing of tax
    structures from state budget is envisaged.
