    EUROPEAN COURT CHIEF: AZERBAIJAN NEEDS LEGAL REFORM

    The president of the European Court of Human Rights, Jean-Paul Costa,
    urged the Azeri parliament on Friday to help bring Azeri law into
    line with European legislation.

    Speaking at a briefing in Baku, Costa blamed Azerbaijan's judiciary
    and legislation for obstacles that the enforcement of European Court
    rulings on Azeri issues comes up against.

    He also argued that much is being done in Azerbaijan to ensure courts'
    independence but that more needs to be done.

    On the refugees issue, Costa said the European Court receives complains
    from both Azerbaijan and Armenia and suggested that the two countries
    tackle the problem through bilateral contacts.
