News.Az interviews Rabiyyat Aslanova, chairman of the Milli Majlis
Parliamentary Committee on Human Rights.
What were the results of 2010 for Azerbaijan?
I think 2010 was successful for our people since Azerbaijan~Rs
achievements in all spheres, including political, economic, social
and cultural fields, are obvious. The dynamics of the Azerbaijani
success is recognized not only by our citizens but also the leading
world analysts and experts. Important events occurred in the life of
Azerbaijani citizens in 2010. This year Azerbaijan held parliamentary
elections during which the citizens of the country elected people to
whom they trusted.
The policy held by the state in 2010 was also important. Azerbaijan~Rs
growing influence in international organizations demonstrated that our
country is among the leading countries of the world. The reforms,
carried out by Azerbaijan, achievements in social sphere prove
that 2010 has become one of the important and successful years for
Azerbaijan. All the same, these achievements can also be assessed
as the results of the first decade of the 21st century. The success
of this period can play a role of a base for the second decade of
our century.
Which achievements were gained in human rights defense in Azerbaijan
in 2010?
Primarily, the main important issue related to defense of human
rights is the creation of a legal base. Naturally, the legal base in
the sphere of human rights defense relies on the Constitution, the
laws, as well as adopted conventions. However, every law, adopted
by Milli Majlis today, is aimed at ensuring rights and liberties
of the Azerbaijani citizens. This is also promoted by the most
important international conventions in provision of human rights
and improvement of social state of Azerbaijani citizens ratified by
Azerbaijan. If the Azerbaijani state adds this issue to its agenda,
based on the principle of social welfare, this means the country is
doing everything to protect human rights.
All the same, I would like to note that the word combination ~Qhuman
rights~R is a very wide concept and these universal rights, probably,
have no limits. If earlier we spoke about human rights in the real
world, now virtual worlds are created, where there is also a need
to take steps to ensure human rights. Our world is growing and in
these conditions the state must do everything possible to ensure human
rights in every space, no matter whether it is technical, producing or
virtual. In this context, I would like to note that the Parliamentary
Committee of Human Rights of Milli Majlis, ombudsman~Rs institute,
the law enforcement bodies of Azerbaijan are acting resolutely in
this issue and mobilizing all their forces to ensure the rights of
country~Rs citizens.
What do you think about Azerbaijan~Rs place in the international
arena in 2011 and the coming years?
Every state undergoes definite stages in its development. The static
position of an individual, the society and the state is unacceptable
for the development of the state. An individual loves dynamics and
in this connection in the first decade of the 21st century Azerbaijan
underwent important stages in its development. Today, Azerbaijan is a
state which overcame the transitive period and stepped into a new phase
of its quality development. This phase is a period of modernization,
at the same time reflecting the post-modernist stage.
All the same, this forms a personality, responding the modern demands.
There is a very great difference between modern Azerbaijan and
Azerbaijan ten years ago. Every citizen can see it in his life and
the life of the state. All the same, these years were marked not
only by the development of Azerbaijan, these were also the years
of self-assertion of the state. The number of states, counting
with Azerbaijan, has increased these years. In the whole stage
of Azerbaijan~Rs development since the moment it gained state
independence, it is possible to assess 2001-2010 as the stage of
accelerated development, self-assertion of the country in the world.
These years are the period, when the states, who earlier doubted
the future existence of Azerbaijan, admitted that our country will
have a good future. Every person, taking part in the events of
international organizations, witnesses that superpowers agree and
count with Azerbaijan~Rs position. These countries admitted that
Azerbaijan is the only stable land in the South Caucasus. Creation
of such relations by Azerbaijan with regional and world countries
in such complex conditions, observed in the world, requires a great
skill and professionalism of the leadership of the country.
Today Azerbaijan has many opportunities to contribute to world
development. We do not only get something from the world, we also
present a rich culture, a new outlook to the world. But the most
important for Azerbaijan is that the country managed to form its
model of development.
I believe that 2011 will also be successful for Azerbaijan. Next year
will become the example of the trust of an Azerbaijani citizen to its
state, the loyalty to the head of the state. I believe that in 2011
international organizations will seriously approach the resolution
of the Karabakh conflict. We expect the international organizations
to hear Azerbaijan~Rs voice so that the negotiations held within a
year with the United States, Europe, Turkic world to give effect.
Azerbaijan is a country which wishes to live in conditions of peace
and prosperity with its neighbors. We want to settle the conflict
with our neighbor Armenia peacefully. However, the unconstructive
position of Armenia hampers the complex provision of stability
and security in the region. However, we believe that international
organizations will say their word in the resolution of this complex
problem, since the resolution of the Karabakh conflict in this period
may even provide the right of those international organizations for
long existence. We believe it is possible to revive the principles
of international law, which are currently paralyzed. Otherwise, the
word combination ~Qsecurity and cooperation~R reflected in the name of
OSCE will become senseless. Therefore, I believe that 2011-2020 must
become a period of changes. I believe the new stage of international
cooperation starts today.
