Baku, 20 November,(AzerTAj)A 2-day regional conference of the South Caucasus

Vilayat Zahirov, the Deputy Justice Minister of Azerbaijan, in particular, said:
“Major problem while holding reforms in this field is the Armenian aggression
against Azerbaijan, he stressed. “As a result, more than 20% of the Azerbaijani
territory has been occupied and more than one million citizens have become
internally displaced people. Courts and other state institutions were replaced to
other regions and consequently, it was impossible to hold comprehensive analysis and
to determine scope of work of these courts in the regions.”
Azerbaijan pays a special attention to formation of independent juridical system and
reforms in the justice field, which serve achievement of supremacy of law, Mr.
Zahirov emphasized.
Vilayat Zahirov named establishment of juridical and legal council, which is
permanent acting -independent body, as achievements of the reforms. “The council
acts as self-regulation of juridical power, solves the organization of legal system
of Azerbaijan within frames of its authority, assesses activities of courts, settles
replacement of employees, promotion and involvement into disciplinary
responsibility,” he said.
The conference organized by the Council of Europe (CE) and Georgian Foreign Ministry
is underway at the hotel Sheraton Metechi Palace.
