Azerbaijan’s hijab crackdown causing tension at home and abroad | Eastern Express

Azerbaijan’s new school dress restrictions have triggered protests and a public dispute with its close ally Turkey. Benjamin Lee and his guest Grigol Julukhidze from Caucasus University examine why rules that do not explicitly name the hijab have led some schools to exclude pupils and teachers wearing headscarves. We follow the arguments over secular education, religious freedom, and the treatment of protesters. Can Baku and Ankara contain the disagreement, and what happens to the families at its center?
