Parliament to consider appointment of Zakir Garalov as Azerbaijani Prosecutor General for next term, April 27

22 April 2010 14:51 (UTC +04:00)

â€œOne of the issues included into the agenda of the meeting is the appointment of Zakir Garalov as Prosecutor General for the next term,â€ he said.

The parliamentarian said draft law on â€œNormative legal actsâ€ will also be discussed at the meeting.

According to the legislation, Prosecutor General of Azerbaijan is appointed every five years. Zakir Garalov had been appointed to this post twice. His tenure expires on April 25.

Some days ago Azerbaijani President sent a draft law to the parliament for appointing Zakir Garalov as Prosecutor General again.

The law on â€œProsecuting authoritiesâ€ was amended last year. The sentence â€œOne and the same person can not be appointed Prosecutor General of Azerbaijan Republic, Military Prosecutor of Azerbaijan Republic, Prosecutor of Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic more than twiceâ€ was removed from the 2nd part of Article 16 of the law.
