The General Assembly of “Transparency Azerbaijan,” the Public Union against Corruption, which holds the status of the national section of the international organization “Transparency International,” has decided to dissolve the public union. In accordance with the decision of the General Assembly, a Liquidation Commission (liquidator) has been appointed.
The Executive Director of “Transparency Azerbaijan,” Alimammad Nuriyev, reported that, in order to register the information about the NGO’s liquidation process in the state register of legal entities, the Liquidation Commission (liquidator) will apply to the Ministry of Justice in accordance with the established procedure. Later, the Liquidation Commission (liquidator) will carry out the necessary procedures in accordance with the legislation. All local and international partners will be informed about this decision.
“Transparency Azerbaijan” was founded in October 2000. As a fully authorized local section, it was accredited by “Transparency International” in October 2001, and was re-accredited in August 2006. The organization presented its mission as “to study the causes, forms, and ways to reduce this dangerous social phenomenon of corruption in Azerbaijan.”
One of the organization’s founders is Rana Safaraliyeva. Rana Safaraliyeva was also the executive director of the organization until 2019. She is currently a member of the organization’s Board of Directors.
