Teymur Hajiyev, who served as deputy head of the Public Relations and Communications Department at the DOST Agency operating under the Ministry of Labour and Social Protection of Population, has expressed dissatisfaction with his dismissal and complained about the ministry.
Globalinfo.az reports that Teymur Hajiyev claimed that Anar Aliyev personally terminated his employment contract in violation of the law:
“Today I faced very serious legal arbitrariness. The ministry, which should protect people’s labour rights, decided to terminate my employment in violation of the imperative requirements of the law. Anar Aliyev personally made the decision to terminate my employment. There are no legal grounds whatsoever for making such a decision about me. The ministry where I worked for 7 years, went grey and gave my all, today made the decision to terminate my employment. I have all the supporting documents, all the facts. The decision they made today is illegal, unlawful and contrary to the principles of the rule of law. I will not leave this matter here. I will try to restore my rights through the courts. No, I will not work; I will drive a taxi, I will go and carry stones, but I will prove to the Ministry of Labour and Social Protection of Population to the very end that the decision taken against me is unjust.”
