Soros fund halts ops in Azerbaijan
Soros Foundation has halted its operation in Azerbaijan, the group’s Baku office said in a statement.
The statement said that the Open Society Institute Assistance Foundation- Azerbaijan (OSIAF-Azerbaijan), which has worked to promote democratic reform in the country over 15 years, will discontinue the allocation of grants from 2012 and begin a process of renewing its operations and structure.
As the foundation undergoes this transition, the Open Society Foundations, of which OSIAF-Azerbaijan is a part, will continue to provide support from outside the country to efforts to promote open society in Azerbaijan.
