Citizens are being held accountable for "fines for not wearing masks" - What are the deputies saying?

According to information circulating on social media in recent days, some citizens are being summoned to court for administrative fines imposed several years ago.
Yeniavaz.com reports that these fines are for violating regulations introduced during the COVID-19 pandemic.
It should be noted that at that time, individuals not wearing masks were fined 100 manat, officials 200 manat, and legal entities 400 manat.
The notices sent to some citizens state that the fine case is in court and that failure to pay within 10 days will result in additional collection costs.
The main question currently being discussed is why these fine protocols, developed several years ago, are being enforced now.
Milli Majlis Deputy Razi Nurullayev told Yeniavaz.com that the law stipulates a specific deadline for paying fines, and this deadline cannot be extended without a valid reason:
"If a fine was not issued on time, not executed, or not properly notified to the citizen, then 'recalling' it years later is legally questionable. It is wrong to burden citizens with the consequences of technical or organizational delays by government agencies. The principle of legal certainty requires that people know in a timely manner when, why, and what responsibility they bear. Clarity must be ensured in this regard."
Razi Nurullayev noted that decisions made during a state of emergency should not create problems for citizens later:
"The relevant authorities must make statements, explain the reasons for delays, and protect citizens' rights. Otherwise, such situations reinforce the perception in society that 'the law is selective.'" The pandemic was a state of emergency, but decisions made during this period should not exceed the law and should not become an unexpected problem for citizens years later."
MP Fazil Mustafa emphasized that imposing these fines at this stage is illogical:
"Overall, all fines imposed for not wearing a mask during the pandemic, in my opinion, should be repealed. Because this step was also taken in neighboring countries. It was an international tragedy and problem, and many people died. But demanding fines for this period now, frankly, is completely illogical. It is wrong to demand such fines from citizens for administrative violations in such a situation."
