Vice speaker: Azerbaijan does not ban wearing hijab

If any individuals come out with the slogan "Freedom to Hijab" in Azerbaijan today, it does not mean that the country bans wearing the hijab, Vice Speaker Bahar Muradova told media, commenting on today's protest in front of the Education Ministry.

"Azerbaijan has a democratic society," she said. "Any person can freely express thoughts. But they must be expressed within the law."

She said law does not prohibit the wearing of the hijab.

"Azerbaijan has a decision on a single school uniform," she said. "Everyone must abide by these rules."
