Hunting tourists deported for violating hunting rules

The Ministry of Ecology and Natural Resources analyzed media reports and footages (on social networks) about unethical behavior of foreign tourists during hunting in the territory of Azerbaijan, their disrespect for the country’s values and laws.  The analyses found out that some of the footages had been taken in other countries. There were also videos captured on the territory of Azerbaijan. The ministry pointed out that companies offer services to local and foreign hunters in Azerbaijan in autumn-winter season on the basis of a quota allocated within the law. Pursuant to international obligations undertaken by Azerbaijan, the Cabinet of Ministers passed a decision (30 September 2004) approving the issuance of hunting licenses to foreigners and stateless persons. The analyses show that the animals and birds seen in the footages are not the ones listed in Azerbaijan’s Red Book. Under current regulations, local hunters can hunt up to six wetland birds and one rabbit in one hunting day and foreign hunter can hunt up to ten wetland birds and two rabbits in five hunting days. Foreign hunters usually go hunting in groups and usually tend to share pictures of what they have hunted. According to preliminary analyses, serious investigations are needed before taking any measure. Tourism companies have already been warned that they should give instructions to foreign hunters in advance and behave in a manner that corresponds to the expectations of the Azerbaijani people. In this hunting season alone 16 hunting tourists have been fined for violating the Azerbaijan’s laws and they were deported from the country upon the recommendation of the Ministry of Ecology and Natural Resources.
