AGP Executive Report

Last update: 10 hours ago

Education & Rights: Enforcement of Azerbaijan’s school dress code has kept some hijab-wearing girls and teachers out of class, fuelling protests and arrests. International rights advocates are urging officials to restore access to education and release people detained for peaceful demonstrations. Azerbaijan–Türkiye Ties: The dispute has strained the countries’ close relationship, with Turkish figures criticising the restrictions and Baku warning against outside interference. Protesters also rallied outside Azerbaijan’s London embassy. Arts & Books: A Washington event showcased Azerbaijani gurama patchwork, carpets and crafts. Baku’s International Book Fair runs October 21–27, bringing together writers and publishers from 30 countries alongside local book and publishing businesses.
