Albans Posted August 6, 2003 Report Share Posted August 6, 2003 Кстати вот вам и "независимое мнение" министерства иностранных дел Австралии! Азербайджан: Azerbaijan This Advice is current for Wednesday 06 August 2003 EST The Advice was issued on Tuesday 05 August 2003 18:40:54 EST This advice has been reviewed. It contains new information on Local Laws and Customs. The overall level of the advice has not changed. Australians in Azerbaijan should exercise caution and monitor developments that might affect their safety. Australians are advised to avoid all travel to the western region of Nagorno-Karabakh and surrounding areas. Australian travellers should be aware of the increased threat of terrorism globally and should consult the General Advice to Australian Travellers, available at http://dfat.gov.au/zw-cgi/view/Advice/General. Safety and Security Australians in Azerbaijan should exercise caution and monitor developments that might affect their safety. Over the past several years there have been several unexplained acts of terrorism including bombings. These bombings have occurred at government buildings, hotels, tourist sites, residential complexes, crowded public places and on public transportation. Travellers should be alert to unusual behaviour and be especially vigilant in these high-risk areas. Travellers should exercise security precautions with valuables and personal safety due to incidents of robbery and pick-pocketing, particularly in open markets and on road and rail transport. Travellers are advised not to walk alone at night or travel in unofficial taxis. Public transport and the Metro in Baku should be avoided at night. Australians are advised to avoid all travel to the western region of Nagorno-Karabakh and surrounding areas due to the risk of armed clashes along the Armenian border. The dispute over Nagorno-Karabakh remains unresolved and insurgent forces occupy part of Azerbaijani territory. A ceasefire has been in effect since 1994 but reports of armed clashes along the ceasefire line and along the border with Armenia continue. Anti-personnel landmines are also located in areas close to the front lines. Local Laws and Customs The economy is cash based and apart from the local currency, the Manat, US dollars are widely used. Visitors must declare foreign currency on entry and cannot depart with more than the amount possessed on arrival. Travellers cheques and credit cards are not widely used except in major hotels, some restaurants and banks. Australian travellers must have their passports and visas with them at all times and should ensure they travel with photocopies of their passport in case of theft. Routine checks by the police, in public and tourist spots, are not uncommon. Failure to provide travel documentation can result in detention and/or substantial fines. Australians are reminded that when overseas, they are subject to local laws and a violation of local law may result in a jail sentence, served in a local prison. Health Issues For information on prevalent diseases and inoculations, travellers should consult their doctor or a travel clinic. Contact details for travel clinics can be found in our 'Travelling Well' brochure available on the department's website. Travel and Health Insurance Travel and health insurance is strongly recommended for all overseas travel. Travellers should check with their insurer to make sure that their policy meets their needs. They should ensure that their insurance covers medical evacuations. In particular, travellers should be aware that some insurance companies will not pay claims which arise when travellers have disregarded the Government's travel advice. Travel and Entry Requirements A valid passport, visa and return ticket are required. Visa conditions are subject to change. For up-to-date visa information, Australians should contact the nearest Embassy or Consulate of Azerbaijan. Consular Assistance and Registration Australia does not have a mission in Azerbaijan. Australians may obtain consular assistance and further information from the Australian Embassy in Moscow, located at 10a/2 Podkolokolny Pereulok, Moscow - telephone (7 095 or 7 503) 9566070 or facsimile (7 095 or 7 503) 9566170. Australians are encouraged to register their presence in Azerbaijan with the Department of Foreign Affairs on-line registration service, accessible via the internet at http://www.orao.dfat.gov.au, or directly with the Australian Embassy in Moscow.
