The State Committee on Affairs with Religious Associations (Azerbaijani: Azərbaycan Respublikası Dini Qurumlarla İş üzrə Dövlət Komitəsi) is a central executive body which ensures implementation of the state policy and laws in the field of religion. The State Committee was established on June 21, 2001.[1]

Freedom of religion in Azerbaijan is substantially curtailed.[2] The Azerbaijan government, which follows strictly secular and anti-religious ideology, represses all religions.[2]
