"Rights Groups Condemn Jailing of Prominent Azerbaijan Blogger
Twenty four human-rights groups including Reporters Without Borders condemned “in the strongest possible terms” the jailing in Azerbaijan of pro-opposition blogger Mehman Huseynov.
Huseynov’s jailing is “another example of Azerbaijan’s best and brightest being targeted for expressing opinions critical of the ruling Aliyev regime,” Rebecca Vincent, U.K. bureau director for Reporters Without Borders, said in an emailed statement that was signed by other advocacy groups including the Committee to Protect Journalists.
Aliyev has ruled the former Soviet Union’s third-largest oil exporter since 2003, when he was appointed by his father, Heydar Aliyev. The 55-year-old leader has faced criticism from rights groups for extending the presidential term to seven years from five in a referendum in September. Opposition critics have also alleged Aliyev is preparing to pass power eventually to his son, after the age limit for presidential candidates was lowered to 35 years in the plebiscite.
Huseynov is one of at least 13 journalists, bloggers and media workers jailed in Azerbaijan, the rights groups said Friday, calling for their immediate release."

This means that the bulk of your posts should not be in "fun" threads (e.g. Ankap, Keep & Kill, This or That, etc.). Further, while occasionally it is appropriate to simply voice your agreement or approval, not all of your posts should be of this variety: "LOL Member213!" "I agree."
If it is evident that a member is simply posting for the sake of posting, they will be removed.

It is becoming increasingly difficult to receive any news from the Sultanate. I would look forward to monthly reports from the CBA and SOCAR. That has been put to a stop.

"Azerbaijan, future gas supplier to Europe, faces shortfall at home"
BAKU/TBILISI, Feb 24 (Reuters) - Ex-Soviet Azerbaijan is on track to send gas to western Europe by the end of the decade, but is having to import supplies to use at home, compounding economic hardship that prompted protests last year. The country contains one of the world's biggest gas fields, Shah Deniz on the Caspian Sea, but it has presold the next stage of output, due by 2020, to Greece, Italy, Turkey and other states keen to reduce their dependence on Russian gas. At the end of last year, as construction of the pipeline to deliver the gas passed the halfway mark, Azerbaijan's state energy company SOCAR said it had begun importing gas from Iran.
