According to Zahidov, the additional term allocated in this purpose is to complete by 1 March. "The citizens desiring to leave the country should rationally use the additional period. The government is not guilty if someone approaches irresponsibly towards their duties," Zahidov stressed.  

In compliance with the law on In and out going to the country and passports  of the Azerbaijan Republic, from January 1 all citizens living the territory  of the country, including CIS countries, will be allowed to leave the country  only with diplomatic, service, general passports and sailor's book.
