On February 25, a meeting of the Presidium of the Azerbaijan National Academy of Sciences (ANAS) will be held.
Modern.az reports that one of the issues to be considered at the meeting will be the expulsion of Ramiz Mehdiyev, the former president of ANAS, who is currently accused of treason and other serious crimes and placed under house arrest, from the full membership of the institution.
It should be recalled that ANAS President Isa Habibbayli announced in a statement to local media earlier this month that the issue of R. Mehdiyev would be discussed.
It should be noted that he is accused under Articles 278.1 (actions aimed at seizing state power), 274 (treason), and 193-1.3.2 (legalization of criminally obtained property) of the Criminal Code. Last week, the Sabail District Court ruled to extend the decision made regarding him by another 4 months. (AzPolitika)
