Azerbaijani police have managed to improve and enhance its activities to ensure law -Deputy Interior Minister
The
Azerbaijani police have managed to improve and enhance its activities to ensure
law and order during the elections over the years of independence, based on the
new electoral laws, Deputy Interior Minister Oruj Zalov said at the courses organized by the Central Election
Commission (CEC) for the chairmen of district election commissions on Tuesday.
"We
perform the appropriate exercises to carry out activities provided in the
Election, Criminal and Administrative Codes. The ministry created a special
working group and drafted the plan. Relevant measures are taken in accordance
with this plan," Zalov added.
He said the police are obliged to ensure public order, register the recorded
violations in the legal form and protect polling stations during the elections.
"Duties
of the police, as well as responsibilities of the search
operation-investigation and passport registration services, in this process are
clearly defined. The police carry out monitoring during the rallies, pickets
and meetings of candidates with voters. Holding such meetings and actions is
agreed with the local authorities. The police inform about the upcoming event.
If the action is not allowed, the police negotiate with the organizers and
remind them about special places allocated by the city executive power. If
meetings and actions are agreed, then the police are tasked to follow the
public order and prevent crime," he said.
He said
about 1,600 meetings and rallies with voters were held during the parliamentary
elections. About 1,500 of them were agreed and no incidents recorded.
"The
police have instructions to stay outside the polling stations and not to
interfere in the voting process. The police had no serious complaints, as these
instructions were followed," he said.
