President Ilham Aliyev decreed on Thursday to dismiss his longtime minister of communications and high technologies, Ali Abbasov.
No reason was given for the dismissal.
Abbasov is a second Azerbaijani minister that has lost his job in less than a month. President Aliyev on Oct. 17 sacked the minster of national security, Eldar Mahmudov.
Nearly 20 senior security officers have since been arrested for interference in private businesses and extortion.
