Azerbaijan, Baku, Feb. 23 / Trend A.Huseynbala /
"The fact, that 26 percent of the municipalities are women, is important for our country," MP Ganira Pashayeva said during discussion of an annual report of the agency realizing administrative control over the activities of municipalities.
Extended number of women and youth representatives represented in the municipalities is associated with strengthening of their role in political life. "In my opinion, increasing the role of women and youth in the municipalities will also have a positive impact on the development of our regions," Pashayeva said.
The last municipal elections in Azerbaijan were held Dec. 23, 2009.
The Center for work with municipalities at the Justice Ministry must now pay much attention to educate members of the municipalities. "Some municipality members do not even know their office duties. As a result, the gravity of problems falls onto the shoulders of ordinary people. Therefore, education work must be greatly expanded," MP Pashayeva said.
There is a problem with the issuance of municipal lands to auction. "The most sensitive issues in holding land auctions are related to rights and duties of municipalities. Therefore, to achieve a solution to the problems of people, the municipalities must normally fulfill their rights and obligations," MP Pashayeva said.
According to Pashayeva, ensuring the independence of municipalities requires specifying the section on the activities of executive bodies and municipalities.
