Gultakin Hajibayli, a member of the Coordination Board of the National Council, was deported from Turkey to Azerbaijan on February 12. The deportation was carried out during the night hours.
The initial information was shared on social media by Fuad Gahramanli, deputy chairman of the Azerbaijan People’s Front Party. According to him, Hajibayli is already in Azerbaijan and is currently free.
Gultakin Hajibayli has not yet been summoned for investigation, and no preventive measures have been imposed against her.
Detained in Turkey as a “threat to national security”
On the night of November 29–30 last year, Gultakin Hajibayli was taken from her home in Istanbul by police and later placed in the Catalca Deportation Center. The G-82 code was applied to her in Turkey.
Hajibayli shared on her social media account that the Ankara court had filed charges against her under G-82, which refers to membership in a foreign terrorist organization that poses a threat to state security.
According to Turkish law, the G-82 restriction code is applied to foreign nationals alleged to act against national security. This code prohibits the person from entering Turkey and allows for indefinite deportation if they are already in the country.
Hajibayli said this decision was politically motivated and that he would be arrested if returned to Azerbaijan.
Linked to “coup attempt” allegations
In recent months, pro-government media in Azerbaijan have mentioned Gultakin Hajibayli’s name alongside AXCP leader Ali Karimli as allegedly involved in a plan for a state coup with Ramiz Mehdiyev, the former head of the Presidential Administration.
Ali Karimli, chairman of the Azerbaijan People’s Front Party, and party board member Mammad Ibrahim were detained by the State Security Service on November 29 last year.
On December 1, they were charged under Article 278.1 of the Criminal Code – actions aimed at forcibly seizing power and forcibly changing the constitutional order of the state. On the same day, the Sabail District Court ordered their pretrial detention.
