Yafez Hasanov (Akramoglu), is a Radio Azadligreporter who covers mostly stories from the Azerbaijani exclave of Nakhchivan.He was based in Nakhchivan, but in August 2011, after he reported on thesuspicious death in custody of a man accused of spying for Iran, unidentifiedmen forced him to leave the exclave, warning him to never come back.[152]

The Sabirabad Regional Court remanded him to pretrialcustody, but the Appeals Court released Gulaliyev pending trial.[189]The investigation is presumably ongoing, although for the past year Gulaliyevhas not been involved in any investigative activities. Meanwhile, he mustreport weekly to the police.[190]If convicted, Gulaliyev could face up to three years in prison.

The government justified the amendments by referring to theneed to ensure greater transparency and accountability for NGO activities.However, this argument appears insufficient at best, since registered NGOsalready have to report extensively to the authorities. In addition to taxreports to various agencies, they must file reports to various governmentbodies, including the Ministry of Justice, the Ministry of Finance, the StateStatistics committee, and the State Social Protection Fund, on the sources oftheir income, including grants and how funding is used.[215]

The OSCE should continue to effectively monitor and reporton the situation with freedoms of media, expression, association, and assembly.It should continue to engage closely with the authorities to decriminalizedefamation and assist in establishing a reasonable monetary cap on civildefamation cases. The OSCE should also continue its trial-monitoring work inAzerbaijan and ensure that this includes the trials of political and civilactivists, as well as those of journalists and human rights defenders.

Journalist Khadija Ismayilova compiled the following list of helpful links during her reporting for her story for the Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project on Teliasonera's ties to Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev's daughters:

Zhouying Jin, Chair of the Beijing Node of The Millennium Project has gotten the Government of China to produce the annual State of the Future reports since the first edition in 1997. Since the government does not promote and advertise it, I held several discussions with those who were interested in having it produced commercially for the Chinese market. In addition, the Chinese Association of S&T is interested in producing the Chinese translation of Futures Research Methodology 3.0. They will be producing a series of books on the future of China 2045.

That evening the Peru Node was re-launched by the former President of Peru, Alan Garcia (who many expect will become President again in the next election) and Fernando Ortega, Node chair and head of the Peruvian Association of Foresight and Future Studies (APROEF). Currently President Garcia is the Chairman of the Government and Public Management Institute, San Martin de Porres University that is the institutional host of the new Peru Node along with APROEF. Photos of the signing ceremony with the President are below. We also introduced the Spanish edition of the 2013-14 State of the Future (I never saw so many Tweets and on my talks before). In addition to an overview of the global future situation with emphasis on technology, I recommended that Peru create: 1) a future strategy unit in the Office in the President with an informal network of futurists that could rapidly respond to Presidential foresight requests; 2) a Peru State of the Future Index; 3) an annual or semiannual State of the Future of Peru report; 4) a national collective intelligence system open to the public; 5) Establish a permanent Committee for the Future in the national legislature and 6) a public situation cart on leapfrog strategies and opportunities as a wiki.

The Chilean Council of Prospective and Strategy has just been created by former Minister Sergio Bitar and Hctor Casanueva (former MP Chilean Node Chair who is now the Chilean Ambassador to the WTO) that is together with the MP Chilean Node now chaired by Luis Lira who also participated in these meetings. I suggested the that Council should produce an annual State of the Future Chile report, calculate and use a Chile State of the Future Index, and create the Chile Collective Intelligence System.

On the second day of the MPPC Meeting, the main TV station came into the meeting, videotaped some of the Node reports, and then we saw it broadcast a couple of hours later as we were having lunch. The Node reports showed an increasing quality and impact around the world. You can see their reports at: -project.org/millennium/mppc-0713.html#nodes.

June 5

The faculty of the Diplomatic Academy and MP participants met to discuss the future and why accelerating global change should be added to their curriculum. Then they met with senior analysts of the Central Bank and discussed a broad range of issues from their ten-year plan for education to the concept of a Tele-Nation as being developed in Tele-Montenegro and up-dating the Azerbaijan State of the Future Index.

July 26th and 27th The Millennium Project Planning Committee reviewed accomplishments over the past year, reviewed the status and future developments for the Global Futures CIS and received the Node reports, and discussed next steps. When the Global Futures is ready it will integrate our previous website and then change its address to our regular url: millennium-project.org.

A report will be forthcoming. During the workshop Professor Erzsbet Novky of Cornivus University of Budapest asked about creating the Hungarian Node. She will explore this with Professor Mihaly Simai (former chairman of UNU and participant in The Millennium Project from the beginning). ff782bc1db
