Independent Azerbaijan University students exempted from draft for three months

The university student Aynur Gurbanova told the APA the Education Minister has issued an order regarding this issue. The applications on transfer of the IUA students to other private higher schools will be received starting from Monday. The students will be moved to the Baku Girls, Odlar Yurdu and Asia Universities mainly.

Student Gurbanova though said the Ministry is taking steps to solve their problems, the university administration is posing artificial obstacles to this process.

Student Khalid Garayev said the IAU students keep staging sit-in protest in the university. The sit-inners did not obey the university authorities' demand to leave the building last week. Dean Sabih Gojayev today told the protesting students that they will not face any pressure and will not be made to leave the university building. He said the students can go on protesting there until court decision.

The Economic court #1 said to the APA that the case on the IAU raised by the claim of the Education Ministry will be considered in a court sitting chaired by judge Ulvi Mayilov on July 26 this year.
