All religious communities must register, although for the Christian minority this is an extremely lengthy process. Unregistered churches are restricted from public activities and obtaining literature. Believers are considered traitors to the country as Christianity is associated with the country's rival nation, Armenia. Many are unable to find employment and are watched closely by the secret services. A revised translation of the New Testament in Azeri was finished in 2007. |
