No Limit Baku

Travelers with Disabilities: Azerbaijani law prohibits discrimination against persons with physical, sensory, intellectual, or mental disabilities, but accessibility for persons with disabilities is limited throughout the country. Expect accessibility to be limited in transportation, lodging, and general infrastructure.

Some bank branches in Azerbaijan's capital imposed limits Thursday on the amounts of foreign currency they would sell to customers, who in some places lined up outside to convert their cheapening manats.

AFP - Azerbaijan voted Wednesday to scrap a two-term presidential limit, paving the way for President Ilham Aliyev to indefinitely extend his family's dynastic hold on power in the oil-rich ex-Soviet republic.

With more than half the votes counted by early Thursday, 92 percent of Azerbaijanis had voted in favour of lifting the restriction, Central Elections Commission chairman Mazahir Panahov told journalists.

Dozens of other constitutional amendments proposed in the referendum, including new restrictions on the media, were also set to be approved, he said.

"The percentages in favour are so high that we can already say that all the changes will be approved," he said.

Opposition groups had called for a boycott, arguing that the vote would allow Aliyev, whose family has dominated politics here for nearly four decades, to be president for life.

Despite that, more than 71 percent of voters in the mainly Muslim country of 8.7 million turned out, the election commission said.

Aliyev, 47, won a second five-year term by a landslide last October, having taken over from his father Heydar, a top-ranking former Soviet official and KGB member, in 2003.

Heydar Aliyev was a Soviet-era leader of this state on the western coast of the Caspian Sea and president for 10 years after the country won independence in 1991. The younger Aliyev was first elected to replace his father shortly before the 80-year-old's death.

Supporters of the changes insisted they are aimed at making Azerbaijan more democratic by allowing voters to choose whoever they wish to be president.

But government critics, who have long accused Aliyev and his late father of having ruthlessly held on to power, said the vote was aimed at consolidating the grip of the first family.

Many of Azerbaijan's main opposition groups called for voters to stay home Wednesday. They accused the authorities of preparing to fix the vote, harassing opposition campaigners and using government control of the media to dominate the debate.

Ali Keremli, leader of the anti-government National Front party, said opposition monitors had seen numerous voting violations on Wednesday.

"Our observers have seen a high number of violations," he said, including groups of voters being brought to several polling stations to cast their votes more than once.

At polling stations in the capital Baku many voters said they supported the move and credited Aliyev with steering the country through a period of record economic growth.

"I voted so that Ilham Aliyev may continue to be our president because he has brought us stability," said Khatima Jabrailova, a 72-year-old pensioner.

But some said the two-term limit should stand.

"I voted against this. There is no need to change our constitution," said Vugar Shabalov, a 21-year-old student.

"In a time when the whole world is in economic crisis, we should not be spending money on this referendum."

Aliyev voted with his wife and daughter at a central Baku polling station, but did not speak to reporters.

Despite opposition objections, the referendum has drawn little criticism from the United States or European countries.

Azerbaijan's opposition accuses Western governments of shying away from criticising Aliyev to secure access to Azerbaijan's vast Caspian Sea oil and gas reserves.

The amendments will also postpone presidential and parliamentary elections in the event of war.

Despite a ceasefire, Azerbaijan remains locked in a simmering conflict with neighbouring Armenia over the breakaway Azerbaijani region of Nagorny Karabakh, which Aliyev has vowed to retake.

Dozens of other constitutional changes were proposed in the referendum, including restrictions on photographing, videotaping or recording people without their permission, a prohibition on showing "disrespect" to "state symbols" and increased state oversight of local governments.

Several other civilian areas were affected by the conflict and could also contain UXO. These areas include, but are not limited to, the towns and rayons of Barda, Tartar, Ganja, Beylagan and Aghjabadi. The Azerbaijani authorities are working to remove UXO. However if you come across UXO do not approach it, or touch it. Make a note of where it was spotted, and notify the authorities on 102 or 112. Be aware that there may be more UXO nearby.

A2: Despite early concerns that fighting could escalate to the targeting of strategic infrastructure and civilian territories, both Armenia and Azerbaijan appear to have limited their use of larger, longer-range missiles. Instead, only a few events during the conflict involved ballistic missile attacks. In at least one event, Armenia reportedly used Tochka and Scud missiles in attacks on Ganja, the second-most populous city in Azerbaijan. Azerbaijan used a LORA short-range ballistic missile in a more tactical role on October 2 to target a bridge connecting Armenia to Nagorno-Karabakh.

A desire to contain the conflict could explain the hesitancy to use longer-range ballistic missiles. Both sides may have determined that attacks on cities or vital infrastructure may invite escalation beyond the Nagorno-Karabakh region. Furthermore, Armenia and Azerbaijan could already hit most targets in the region with long-range rocket artillery, thus limiting the value of using more expensive and limited ballistic missiles. Armenian ballistic missile strikes in Ganja, which is outside of Nagorno-Karabakh, would seem to be an outlier in this regard, though.

The conflict also provides yet another reminder about the importance of passive defense. In an age of highly proliferated sensors and shooters, militaries will need to consider new ways to camouflage and harden their forces. Ground force tactics on dispersal and deception ought to be reinvigorated. Soldiers should train to limit their electronic and thermal signatures for longer distances and times. The video and imagery available online suggest that neither Armenian nor Azerbaijani forces had adequate resources or training on passive defense. We see this time and time again with both sides operating out in the open, static or moving slowly; poorly camouflaged; and clumped in tight, massed formations.

Laws regulating foreign funding of NGOs have made it easier for the government to target local civic groups and media outlets that receive grants from outside sources. In 2015, President Aliyev signed amendments to the Law on Mass Media that allow courts to order the closure of any media outlet that receives foreign funding or which is convicted of defamation twice in one year.3 In 2014, he approved amendments to the Law on Grants that had also limited civil society.4 Requirements for receiving grants are now so complicated that they have prevented a number of online outlets from continuing to operate.

The SIM cards, serial numbers, and phone numbers of all mobile phones in Azerbaijan must be registered. This requirement was introduced by the Cabinet of Ministers in 2011 without parliamentary approval.1 Mobile operators are required to limit service to any unregistered devices.

Candidates for the position must be Azerbaijani citizens without age restrictions and have lived in Azerbaijan for at least 10 years.[7] According to the Constitution of Azerbaijan, the same person can be on the post of President an unlimited number of terms.

Prior to 2009, the term of office was five years, with a maximum of two terms. A referendum in 2009 removed the limit on the number of terms, and in 2016, another referendum increased the term to seven years. According to the Azerbaijani administration, a longer term would provide for more continuity in decision-making. The Venice Commission, of which Azerbaijan is a member, warned that this and other provisions of the referendum gave "unprecedented" authority to the president, and could severely upset the balance of power.[1] e24fc04721
