RSF published an article on its website outlining the case and featuring an interview with Vagifgizi\u2019s mother, Ofelya, who discussed raising her daughter under difficult circumstances and how Sevinj became a journalist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Vagifgizi is currently undergoing a politically motivated trial with charges of &#8220;foreign currency smuggling,&#8221; which RSF condemns as baseless. The organization calls for her immediate release and that of other individuals charged alongside her. According to RSF, Vagifgizi\u2019s case is a part of broader, escalating repression against independent media in Azerbaijan, with the journalist&#8217;s stance against injustice and her unyielding fight for the truth making her a symbol of resistance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In a message sent from prison, Vagifgizi expressed her optimism despite the harsh conditions: \u201cOur spirits are high,\u201d she said. She boldly affirmed that the charges against her and her colleagues are politically driven, a stance she made clear in the March 11 hearing, where she directly linked her detention to her work exposing corruption within Azerbaijan&#8217;s leadership.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Vagifgizi, who returned to Azerbaijan from Istanbul in November 2023, knowing that she would likely be arrested, has faced numerous challenges, including harsh prison conditions and violence. Yet, she remains resolute in her mission to continue her investigative work, even from behind bars. Her story exemplifies the strength and determination of Azerbaijani independent journalism, which faces relentless state pressure. RSF has once again called for her and all other detained journalists to be freed immediately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Ilham Aliyev outlines conditions for peace with Armenia as German President urges swift agreement<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>On April 2, 2025, Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev met with German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier in Baku. During their discussions, Aliyev emphasized Azerbaijan&#8217;s commitment to peace talks with Armenia, which began after the Second Karabakh War. He stated that Azerbaijan had initiated peace talks and that the text of the peace agreement had been fully agreed upon. Aliyev <a href=\"https:\/\/azertag.az\/xeber\/azerbaycan_ve_almaniya_prezidentleri_metbuata_beyanatlarla_chixis_edibler_yenilenib-3482415\">outlined<\/a> two key conditions for signing the peace agreement: the dissolution of the OSCE Minsk Group and the removal of a clause from Armenia&#8217;s Constitution that claims part of Azerbaijan&#8217;s territory. He made it clear that if Armenia truly wants peace, it must accept these conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Steinmeier congratulated both countries for reaching an agreement on the peace treaty&#8217;s text and urged them to sign it as soon as possible. He expressed optimism about sustainable peace in the South Caucasus and emphasized the need for political will from both sides. He also reaffirmed Germany&#8217;s clear position on the territorial integrity of Azerbaijan, stating that &#8220;Karabakh is Azerbaijan.&#8221; Steinmeier acknowledged that restoring mutual trust between Armenia and Azerbaijan would require time and effort, but stressed the importance of seizing this opportunity for peace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text is-stacked-on-mobile\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"428\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.meydan.tv\/wp-content\/uploads\/1743584674_3b5f9c7409d6b81ac879aa507194aa2e-e1743588857262-1200x428-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-328420 size-full lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1200px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1200\/428;\" \/><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<p>The visit marks Steinmeier\u2019s first official trip to Azerbaijan, which is expected to further strengthen bilateral relations between the two countries.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Leader of Young Veterans public union detained in Azerbaijan<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In Azerbaijan, Haji Valiyev, the head of the Young Veterans (Gen\u00e7 Gaziler) Public Union, was detained by police on 31 March 2025.
