Ombudsman of Azerbaijan Holds Public Reception to Address Citizens’ Concerns

The Ombudsman of the Republic of Azerbaijan, Ms. Sabina Aliyeva, a Board Member of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation Ombudsman Association (OICOA), conducted a public reception for applicants in Baku on 23–24 April 2026, reinforcing the institution’s commitment to direct citizen engagement.

During the reception, Ms. Aliyeva met applicants individually, ensuring confidentiality and providing an opportunity for detailed discussion of their concerns. Immediate measures were taken on-site to resolve certain issues, while cases requiring further examination were noted for follow-up.

The Ombudsman emphasized that such matters would be closely monitored, with relevant state authorities engaged to ensure their resolution in accordance with applicable legislation.

Citizens were also provided with legal advice and guidance, enhancing their understanding of available remedies and institutional procedures. The Ombudsman Office further highlighted its accessible complaint submission channels, including the 24/7 “916” Call Center, email, postal services, fax, and social media platforms.

This initiative reflects Azerbaijan’s ongoing efforts to strengthen accessibility, transparency, and efficiency in addressing public grievances, while reinforcing trust between citizens and public institutions.

The engagement aligns with OICOA’s mission to promote accountability, good governance, and citizen-centered service delivery among its member institutions.
