The Plenipotentiary Representation of the President of the Republic of Azerbaijan in the Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic will have the status of a 1st category state body.
According to “Elchi”, this is reflected in the draft law on amendments to the Law “On Civil Service”, which was discussed at today’s meeting of the Milli Majlis.
It should be noted that the Plenipotentiary Representation of the President of the Republic of Azerbaijan in the Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic is an executive body that performs the duties determined by the President of the Republic of Azerbaijan in the territory of the Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic, and the leadership of the representation is carried out by the Plenipotentiary Representative of the President of the Republic of Azerbaijan in the Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic, who is appointed and dismissed by the President of the Republic of Azerbaijan and is directly subordinate to the President of the Republic of Azerbaijan.
According to other proposed changes, the positions of the Plenipotentiary Representative of the President of the Republic of Azerbaijan in the Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic and his deputies will be removed from the classification of administrative positions, and the position of the assistant to the Plenipotentiary Representative of the President of the Republic of Azerbaijan in the Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic will be included in the list of third classification positions.
After this change, the Law of the Republic of Azerbaijan “On Civil Service” will not apply to the Plenipotentiary Representative of the President of the Republic of Azerbaijan in the Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic and his deputies.
If the amendments are adopted, they will enter into force on July 1, 2026.
The draft law was put to a vote after discussions and adopted in the second reading./Trend
