corruption during the soviet era was rife and persists into the present 4 5 6 7 8 9 in 2024 radio free europe radio liberty reported that azerbaijan has regularly ranked near the bottom of transparency international s corruption perceptions index 10 azerbaijan s economy is characterized by corruption and inequality 11 the country s oil wealth has significantly strengthened the stability of ilham aliyev s regime and enriched ruling elites in azerbaijan 12 13 14 15 the country s oil wealth has enabled the state to host lavish international events as well as engage in extensive lobbying efforts abroad 16 17 in the azerbaijani laundromat money laundering scheme 2 9 billion was paid to foreign politicians and azerbaijani elites by companies linked to azerbaijani ruler ilham aliyev government ministries and the international bank of azerbaijan between 2012 and 2014 18 corruption is prevalent in education health care and business more generally 4 bribery nepotism and cronyism are commonplace 4 the aliyev government in azerbaijan restricts public access to information about the owners and shareholders of azerbaijani companies 19 international anti corruption indices and reports edit development of cpi scores of south caucasus countries 2012 2020 transparency international reported in 2014 that at that time azerbaijan was demonstrating steady improvement in anti corruption rankings but its progress was relatively slower than that of neighbouring countries azerbaijan had advanced with its anti corruption legislation and strong executive branch however the legislature and the judiciary were perceived as weak and potentially more exposed to corruption 20 according to a 2015 transparency international report azerbaijan demonstrated improvement in international anti corruption reports from previous years however its position in these indices was weak compared to that of neighbouring countries such as georgia armenia and turkey 20 21 in transparency international s 2017 corruption perceptions index cpi azerbaijan achieved its best position since its inclusion in the report in 2000 21 with a score of 31 22 on a scale from 0 highly corrupt to 100 very clean 23 in the years 2018 2024 its scores were lower with a 2024 score of 22 24 in the 2025 cpi results azerbaijan s score of 30 was a marked improvement from 2024 the scores of azerbaijan s immediate neighbors in 2025 were georgia 50 armenia 46 iran 23 and russia 22 24 for comparison with regional scores the best score among eastern european and central asian countries note 1 was 50 the average score was 34 and the worst score was 17 25 globally the best score was 89 ranked 1 the average score was 42 and the worst score was 9 ranked 181 in a two way tie 24 the world bank s worldwide governance indicators reported that azerbaijan s ability to control corruption increased to 20 2015 from 7 2000 26 the 2013 global corruption barometer gcb report of transparency international indicated that 9 of respondents in azerbaijan thought that corruption had increased a lot 27 while 69 considered that the government s efforts were effective in the fight against corruption furthermore 71 of respondents agreed that an ordinary person can make a difference in the fight against corruption in azerbaijan 27 citizens participation and the values of integrity accountability and transparency were crucial components of fighting corruption it was important to develop programs and actions to change the cultural understanding of corruption and helped citizens to act against abuses 28 in the 2013 gcb report health the judiciary and police were perceived as the most corrupt sectors by respondents in comparison to the 2010 gcb report improvement was noted in the more recent report with increased levels of trust in the civil service education and police 20 contrary to international perceptions azerbaijani respondents perceived political parties as one of the least corrupt sectors alongside the media and religious bodies 20 according to the global integrity index gix 2011 the anti corruption legislative framework of azerbaijan is strong 89 out of 100 however its implementation is very weak 38 out of 100 considering the powers that have been granted by law 29 the government of azerbaijan has also been accused of using corrupt practices to silence critics such as journalists activists and opposition figures for instance the economist and anti corruption activist gubad ibadoghlu was arrested in 2023 involving alleged counterfeiting and possession of religious extremist materials 30 the government had previously included ibadoghlu s nongovernmental group economic research center in a sweeping crackdown on civil society in 2014 31 this ngo conducted research on public finance management good governance and budget transparency 31 family of ilham aliyev edit aliyev and his wife mehriban aliyeva were described as the embodiment of nepotism and kleptocracy in azerbaijan 32 the aliyev family have enriched themselves through their ties to state run businesses they own significant parts of several major azerbaijani banks construction firms and telecommunications firms as well as partially own the country s oil and gas industries much of the wealth is hidden in offshore companies 33 the 2021 pandora papers leaks showed that the aliyev family built a vast offshore network to hide their money the family and their close associates have secretly been involved in property deals in the uk worth more than 700 million 34 35 in 2012 the organized crime and corruption reporting project called ilham aliyev the person of the year in organized crime and corruption 11 also in 2012 cnbc produced the film filthy rich about corruption which also mentioned the aliyev family 36 aliyev was also included on a list of figures others being the minister of emergency situations kamaladdin heydarov head of the presidential administration ramiz mehdiyev and first lady mehriban aliyeva accused of accepting bribes of 1 million from mp candidates to guarantee their election win and inclusion to the parliament this high level corruption scandal is widely called the gulargate 37 the long prison sentences for seven journalists from abzas media are widely seen as retaliation for the outlet s investigations into corruption in the family of ilham aliyev and his inner circle 38 political context and background timeline of corruption issues edit after the dissolution of the soviet union in late 1991 the transition period in azerbaijan was complicated and further prolonged by the inability of the national political elite to ensure the existence of key public institutions during 1991 1993 39 in addition during those years azerbaijan was forced to engage in military clashes with armenia over the region of nagorno karabakh 40 in 1993 as a result of the invasion by armenia azerbaijan lost 20 of its territory in the same year the united nations security council adopted four resolutions 822 853 874 and 884 which condemned the use of force against azerbaijan and the occupation of its territories 41 the un security council demanded from armenia the immediate complete and unconditional withdrawal of the occupying forces 41 as a result of the war with armenia the influx of more than one million refugees and internally displaced people had a devastating impact on both the social and economic situation in azerbaijan badalov and mehdi 2004 this tragic event shifted the priority of the country from building public institutions to accommodating internally displaced people idps and providing them with the necessary living standards 39 in addition the collapse of the soviet union caused economic paralysis in azerbaijan therefore the main priorities of the azerbaijani government were to divert all of its financial and political resources to safeguarding idps and to fighting against the invasion by armenia in the international legal arena 39 institutional arrangements and coordination mechanisms edit commission on combating corruption edit commission on combating corruption is set up according to the article 4 2 of the law of the republic of azerbaijan on fight against corruption and functions as a specialized agency on combating corruption since 2005 the executive secretaries of ccc were inam karimov vusal huseynov and kamal jafarov anti corruption general directorate edit the anti corruption bribery general directorate with the prosecutor general of the republic of azerbaijan was established by the order of the
