rena murshud read more azerbaijan Police is celebrating the 105th anniversary of its
honorable activity. according to the decree signed by national
leader heydar aliyev in 1998, july 2 every year is marked a
professional holiday of law enforcement officers performing police
duties. the work of the police in the protection of security in
azerbaijan is irreplaceable. however, regarding this, we also
wanted to learn the views of experts.
political analyst tural aliyev, who commented on the issue for azernews , noted that the quality of police
services in azerbaijan is developing rapidly.
"in general, in every country, law enforcement agencies play a
major role in protecting the society, the state, general security
and public order. currently, the function of the police and law
enforcement agencies in azerbaijan consists of this. it's hard to
say, because the police reforms currently underway in the system
are constantly being renewed and further developed."
the expert spoke about the dedication of the police during
important events in azerbaijan.
"there are special and important events in every country. for
example, if we look at the period of the pandemic or the patriotic
war in azerbaijan, we can say that at those times, law enforcement
officers and representatives of other power structures of the state
were more prominent. there were sufficient number of police
officers among those who lost their lives during the period of
either pandemic or the second karabak war," he said.
tural aliyev also emphasized the special professionalism shown
by the azerbaijani police in regulating mutual relations with
citizens at a time when martial law was declared in the country
during the patriotic war.
"while every citizen has a responsibility to the state, law
enforcement agencies also have a number of mutual obligations to
the citizen. each obligation is regulated by laws. if there is a
violation of the law from any side, it is prevented within the
system and legally assessed. finally, mutual relations is
regulated. in this regard, our policemen made a great effort to
follow the rules and regulations applied during the patriotic war
in baku and other districts," the expert stressed.
the political analyst also said that visitors to azerbaijan have
very high impressions of the police. he noted that this is not just
a word, but also an opinion based on statistical data.
"today, guests or tourists coming to azerbaijan from abroad pay
special attention to the stability in the country. because the
opinion from outside is also important to evaluate the work of
special security agencies. in other developed countries, it is very
dangerous to walk in the city at different times of the day, mainly
at midnight. it is not just a word, it is possible to see if we
look at the world statistics. however, since law and order is
maintained at a high level in azerbaijan, it is possible to go for
a walk very comfortably from night to morning, even in a densely
crowded areas of our country," the expert noted.
he also added that there is great progress in the training of
police personnel in azerbaijan. a patient, discreet and extremely
polite police officer today attracts attention with his exemplary
behavior in resolving any dispute. this creates an incentive for
the positive development of relations between ordinary citizens and
the police.
"if there is any tension between the police and citizens, it is
not correct to blame it on the system in general. if 20 years ago
there was a tangible problem, now such cases are no longer visible.
even the incidents that occur are eliminated very calmly and
systematically, and most importantly it is solved administratively
and legally. because what is important for azerbaijan is the health
and safety of its citizens," the expert concluded.
