More religious organizations registered in Azerbaijan

Some 570 religious organizations passed the state registration in Azerbaijan, including 20 non-Islamic. Thirty religious organizations were denied registration on legal grounds, but later two of them were registered after after the removal of the identified deficiencies, State Committee for Work with Religious Organizations of the Republic told Trend.

Documents of 191 Muslim communities have been returned to the Office of Caucasus Muslims due to the contradiction of documents with legal requirements. Sometimes controversial issues in the registration process are resolved in court. But in all cases only religious organizations were the initiators of solving problem in court.

Religious communities which have previously been registered, but for some reason weren't able to register anew, remain valid older ID and do not lose their legal status. As a rule, any problems in the process of state registration are not related to the State Committee, but to the religious communities themselves.
