On December 15, a deportation order has been issued in Turkey for Gultakin Hajibayli, a member of the Coordination Council of the National Council, banning her from the country for five years.
She shared this information on her Facebook page. The politician addressed her appeal to Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and considers the decision against her to be unfounded.
“Despite having a two-year residence permit in Turkey and not violating any regulations to date, issuing such a decision against me is an injustice. The basis for this decision has not been explained,” she wrote.
Gultakin Hajibayli also stated that on November 29, she had filed a court appeal regarding her detention under special strict supervision in a deportation center in Turkey.
“I filed a court appeal regarding my detention under special strict supervision in a deportation center in Turkey since November 29 without any legal grounds. The fact that such a decision was hastily made without waiting for the court’s ruling indicates that this decision was not legal but political,” she said.
Hajibayli later noted that preparations were underway for her deportation to Azerbaijan.
“I want to inform that three days ago I was transferred from the Arnavutkoy Deportation Center, where I was initially held, to the Catalca Deportation Center. According to the information I have, detainees in this center usually stay for a shorter period. Therefore, I have the impression that preparations are being made for my forced deportation to Azerbaijan,” she stated.
She appealed to President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, urging Turkey not to support the Azerbaijani authorities in imprisoning their political opponents.
“Mr. President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, I still cannot believe that the state of Turkey, which I love with all my heart, consider my second homeland, and have always defended and promoted through my political activity, will trample on justice and law to forcibly send me to Azerbaijan to be imprisoned. Under no circumstances should Turkey support the Azerbaijani authorities, who have launched a war against democracy, in imprisoning their political opponents with fabricated charges. Any steps taken in this regard should take into account historical responsibility,” she said.
On November 29, police in Turkey took Gultakin Hajibayli from her residence and placed her under administrative control with G-82 code in the category of “foreigners posing a threat to national security.”
She considers this decision politically motivated and stated that she would be imprisoned if deported.
It is believed that Gultakin Hajibayli’s detention on November 29 was related to the arrest in Baku of the Azerbaijan Popular Front Party chairman Ali Karimli and Executive Committee member Mammad Ibrahim.
