    ANOTHER NGO CLOSED IN AZERBAIJAN: "IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO WORK HERE ANYMORE"

    20:09 17/11/2014 >> LAW

    "I have to declare with a great regret that due to the tightening of
    the Azerbaijani legislation it has become almost impossible for our
    organization to carry out its activites. Therefore, the office of the
    "Positive Changes" youth movement closes indefinitely," the head of
    this organization, blogger Bakhtiyar Hajiyev wrote on his Facebook
    page, as the Azerbaijani portal "Haqqin.az" reported.

    According to him, his organization has carried out a number of
    activities in recent years aimed at developing the youth education
    in the country.

    "However, the amendments introduced in the legislation and related
    to the activities of the NGOs, made the realization of our projects,
    which have been approved by our international donors, impossible. I
    hope that the obstacles created for the operation of the NGOs' will
    be removed very soon," he noted.

    "Haqqin.az" also reports that yesterday radio "Liberty" employee
    Kiamran Mahmudov was questioned in the Directorate General Prosecutor's
    office for Grave Crimes.

    According to him, the interrogation lasted several hours. "The
    investigators were questioning me on the so-called "NGOs' Case." I
    answered to all their questions. I also gave a subscription for
    non-disclosure and therefore cannot report all the details," he said.

    They also note that the Prosecutor General's Office had earlier
    started the financial audits of a number of local NGOs.
