„Corruption”(PDF). World Bank World Development Indicators. „Azerbaijan is among the most corrupt countries in the world. The Council of Europe Group of States Against Corruption (GRECO) report on Azerbaijan, released in April 2015, stated, “Despite some serious efforts were undertaken since 2011 to tackle low-level public sector corruption there is little evidence of it being pursued with determination among the political elite and the upper echelons of the public service.” In Transparency International’s 2015 Corruption Perceptions Index, Azerbaijan ranked 119 out of 168 countries.”
