131 Khanlar Valiyev appointed judge of the Constitutional Court; names of new judges announced
On April 11, the next plenary session of the Milli Majlis was held under the chairmanship of Sahiba Gafarova. The speaker first informed the deputies about her visit to Uzbekistan, the important meetings she attended, and the meetings held within the framework of the visit. She said that the delegation headed by the Speaker of the Milli Majlis was on a working visit to the Republic of Uzbekistan from April 4 to 7: “The purpose of the visit was to organize and participate in the fourth conference of the Non-Aligned Movement Parliamentary Network, as well as to participate in the 150th Assembly of the Inter-Parliamentary Union and the Coordination Meeting of the Asian Parliamentary Assembly held within the framework of the Assembly. Let me remind you that today the Speaker of the Milli Majlis chairs 5 international parliamentary organizations, and the Non-Aligned Movement Parliamentary Network and the Asian Parliamentary Assembly are two of them.”
The Chairman of the Human Rights Committee, Zahid Oruj, drew attention to the President’s recent messages: “At the ADA International Forum, a German researcher asked President Ilham Aliyev whether our state has any initiatives to normalize relations between Israel and Turkey? The question, of course, stemmed from the historical contributions of our country to regional and international security. The global order was achieved precisely in our capital with the US-Russia high-level meetings in 2017 and NATO-Russia in 2020. Our country’s reconciling role was recognized even when our territories were occupied. Economic, political and security ties between the Middle East, Central Asia and the South Caucasus pass through Baku: “The meeting of the heads of the secret services of Israel and Turkey, whose armies are facing each other in Syria, in our capital two days ago is an unprecedented event for global security. Our country is not under attack in Gaza, but because it prioritizes international law. Armenia, France, Canada, India and dozens of other countries are working to bring the Jewish and Turkish worlds into conflict. “The tension with Israel provides an opportunity for forces that want to undermine Azerbaijani-Turkish relations. Against the backdrop of the rising tide of anti-Semitism in the world, it is not easy to have an exemplary attitude towards the Jewish community. Ilham Aliyev, the savior of Karabakh, is preventing new conflicts as the winner of the only war that ended with a complete and decisive victory after World War II. Azerbaijan is a safe home for the largest Jewish and Christian communities in the Islamic world. Our lands were liberated through the martyrdom of different nations and religions shoulder to shoulder.”
Committee Chairman Fazil Mustafa first congratulated Speaker Sahiba Gafarova on her successful visit to Uzbekistan. He then said that during the government’s report, he had raised the issue of dilapidated buildings. Immediately after this speech, Prime Minister Ali Asadov responded to him, and F. Mustafa expressed his gratitude for the prompt response. The deputy noted that the reality that about 16 thousand apartments had to be rebuilt in connection with dilapidated buildings had emerged. F. Mustafa recalled the fact that a citizen’s apartment was illegally demolished by a construction company some time ago. He added that not only the personal property of citizens, but also the interests of entrepreneurs should be discussed here. The deputy noted that it is necessary to draw attention to the problems faced by entrepreneurs during the construction of the planned 16 thousand apartments. “Many people have received permits with difficulty, but they cannot start work,” said F. Mustafa, adding that if they agree with 70 residents in one place, they cannot agree with the remaining two residents. According to the MP, problems with the optimal valuation issue are delaying the work. Therefore, the optimal price should be determined. That is, the minimum amount of funds should be offered so that construction work can begin immediately.
During the discussion of the issues on the agenda, the first item on the agenda was the draft law on the appointment of former military prosecutor Khanlar Valiyev as a judge of the Constitutional Court of the Republic of Azerbaijan. Speaker Sahiba Gafarova announced that a presentation on the issue had been sent to the Milli Majlis. After the presentation, the draft was put to a vote and adopted in one reading. After the Speaker’s congratulations, Khanlar Valiyev took the oath in the Milli Majlis.

The meeting discussed amendments to the laws “On Approval of the Regulations on Military Service” and “On Military Duty and Military Service”. According to the draft, in addition to the army general, there will be no age limit for the head and deputy head of the relevant executive authority and other state bodies (except for those included in the structure of state bodies) appointed to the position by the relevant executive authority, which provides for military service in addition to the Armed Forces of Azerbaijan.
The amendments also state that those persons who have exceeded the age limit for active military service or reserve service are released from active military service to reserve service or resign due to age when they are dismissed from their positions. The draft law envisages expanding the circle of persons for whom the age limit for active military service is not determined. According to the proposed amendment, in addition to the army general, the age limit will not be determined for the heads and deputies of relevant state bodies appointed to the position by the President of Azerbaijan.
