According to the research of the Center for Economic and Social
Development Ministry, in 2012 the citizens of the country spent about
200 million Euros on the witches and people with ESP. In a conversation
with the Azerbaijani newspaper "Echo" said the chairman of the Center
for Economic and Social Development Vugar Bayramov.
"According to the previous monitoring, the amount of the money our
citizens spent on fortune tellers, magicians and people with ESP did
not reach even 100 million manats (it makes about 100 million Euros),
however the latest monitoring showed that this figure is growing,
which is a problem," the chairman says.
In his turn psychologist Azad Isazade told the "Echo" that people use
the services of magicians and people with ESP, because they do not
trust doctors: "We know that the Azerbaijanis go for the treatment
to Iran, Turkey, Russia and other countries, and use the services
of doctors there and not in their own country, because today the
credibility towards the health care in the country is low. As for the
people with ESP and magicians, they have always existed. The activity
and interest towards them sometimes increase and sometimes decrease."
According to the expert, they received special attention at the sunset
of the Soviet period, when people were interested in extrasensorics,
witchcraft; there even were courses for shamans. "In Azerbaijan it has
become popular to visit holy places and seids, trips to the mullahs
and writing of prayers," concluded the expert.
