Azerbaijan science community faces a big loss. Rovshen Mustafayev, Chairman of the Institute on Human Rights under the Academy of Science, dies from a long-term disease in his 48.<br /> Rovshen Faig oghlu Mustafayev was born in Baku in 1960. He is the first political-science professor in the country. At the beginning of 1990s he established the first analytical center named – State Building and Institute of International Relations, and founded the magazine “René séance XXI”. He was also the founder of Human Rights Institution under the National Science Academy. He had been considered as the connoisseur in the field of Political Security.
The main researches of him were concentrated on regional conflicts, election practices, and ethno-cultural policy. He is the author of 70 scientific articles and books. He had represented Azerbaijan in different conferences overseas.
His contributions on addressing Karabkh issue to world community by exactness and demonstrating the Armenian terror not only towards the nation but to humanity are undeniable. Therefore Armenian lobby have been working hard against Rovshen Mustafyev and his works. But he worked regularly without paying attention to that. Independently of his political views and social position he had gained love and respect from everybody.
Rovshen Mustafayev was dear friend to IEPF as well. He had played a big role in forming and promoting this organization. We have lost a valuable consultant, intellectual person, great man, conscientious citizen, and devoted friend.
God, May his soul rest in peace. Amen
