The statement came from chief of Department to Combat Human Trafficking of the Interior Ministry Javid Shikhaliyev.
He noted that quite perfect legislative basis was formed in Azerbaijan in this sphere:
'Sometimes false reports on increase of human trafficking victims in
Azerbaijan are delivered to the US Department of State. I discussed it
with Ambassador Matthew Bryza. I thank the US embassy and other
international organizations for their close cooperation with us'.
Shikhaliyev underlined that Azerbaijan was seriously struggling against the human trafficking.
4037 raids were held in construction sphere and no facts of violation
of labor exploitation rules were found. He noted that in the reports of
some international organizations there is information that children are
involved in forced labor in the sphere of cotton and tobacco production:
'We conducted monitoring in about 10 regions, but no facts on
involvement of children in forced labor were found'.
Shikhaliyev said that 70 human traffic facts on human trafficking have
been recorded in Azerbaijan this year, 4 criminal groups were
neutralized and 18 criminals were disclosed. 3 internationally wanted
persons were detained and brought to investigation. 17 persons are
internationally wanted now. One human trafficker has recently died in
Pakistan. 2 criminal facts have been recorded this year on forced labor.
