The deported families are those who left for this country as political migrant from Azerbaijan. Some more Azerbaijani families were warned concerning leaving the country and were presented notification. This process is expected to last for some period. State Committee on Azerbaijanis Abroad doesn’t consider that there is illegality in this case.

APA was informed from the Committee that, though there are not political pressures in Azerbaijan the number of Azerbaijanis leaving for the above mentioned country as well as to Germany and Norway as political migrant has increased. Swedish government seeing this increasing number began to make the rules of issuing citizenship right firm. The government of that country allows the migrant to enter its country only in necessary cases. The corresponding organizations of the country hold many investigations before permitting. If it turns out as the result of the investigation that the migrant is intending to come to Sweden by using the name of fake political migrant this person is not permitted to come to the country for living.
