Foreigners not allowed to give made-up names to their children in Azerbaijan

Azerbaijani authorities are going to set control over choice of names
for children, according to sources in National Academy of Science of
Azerbaijan.
'This is done for a foreign citizen not to give a made-up name to his
child using the absence of the relevant legislative base in
Azerbaijan', said director of the Institute of Information
Technologies Rasim Aliguliyev explaining the draft concept envisioning
creation of the State Information System on names and surnames
considered in the Academy.
Meanwhile, referring to national legislation, Aliquliyev said
foreigners must register a child in 30 days after the birth.
'Then those foreigners may demand to register the newborn under the
fictions name, for example "777". Therefore, the system we have
created envisions the request in the country from which any foreigner
has received a visa upon arrival in Azerbaijan for existence of such a
name. In case the country does not have such a name, the foreign will
be rejected in choosing such a name for a child', the director of the
Institute said.
Speaking about the concept, Aliquliyev noted that this document
envisions that the traffic light e-system will be applied in giving a
name to a child. 'For example, the database of names with `Green
light' will include names the parents can give their newborns.
The `Yellow light' will include names that are undesirable for
newborns, the director of the Institute said.
Aliquliyev noted that the `Red light' of the database will include
names that will be prohibited for newborns. 'Such names will include,
for example, Andronik, Zori Balayan. However, I would like to note
that this ban on these Armenian names will not refer to the
Azerbaijani citizens of Armenian ethnic. `Red light' will also be
related to the names of the persons who played a negative role in the
history of Azerbaijan contrary to its culture and morality', he noted.
Aliquliyev said international experience, in particular, the
experience of Germany, Estonia, Turkey, Russia, Ukraine, Belarus,
Moldova was studied during the development of this concept.
He said the practical application of the concept will start from the
end of this year.
