Earlier, at the beginning of January of the current year, there also came reports that the inhabitants of the Azerbaijani town Sumgait cannot hang the laundry on the balconies. The executive authorities of the town held a number of events regarding that, and the inhabitants of the town were warned. It was stated that the clotheslines not only spoiled the look of the city but also gave way to inconveniences. The inhabitants of the multi-storey buildings said that they had no choice other than hanging the laundry on the balconies.

In August 2013 the head of the Supreme Majlis of Autonomous Republic of Nakhchivan Vasif Talibov banned the Nakhichevan residents hanging out laundry on the balcony, walking in the street in groups, baking bread in tondirs, and holding funeral repasts.
