AZERBAIJAN ■ | he former Soviet republic of Azerbaijan I passed legislation in late May legalizing gay male sex. It will take effect in September. (Les bian sex was never banned.) Male anal sex was prohibited by Criminal Code Article 113, which was left over from Sovi et times. A new statute bans only forced sex. Along with other changes to its criminal axle, Azerbaijan legalized gay sex in hopes of being accepted into the 41-nation Council of Europe, which requires that member nations not prohibit homosexuality. In the whole of Europe, only the former Soviet republic of Armenia, Serbia and Chechnya still ban gay sex outright, according to the International Lesbian & Gay Association. The Council of Europe was founded following World War II and works to strengthen democracy, hu man rights and the rule of law in member states.
