Azerbaijan, Baku, Feb.3 /Trend M.Aliyev/
It is proposed the draft law On the Status of Servicemen, which will be brought for discussion at the spring session of the Azerbaijani Parliament to provide the status of civil servant to the military personnel, MP, member of the Parliamentary Committee on Security and Defence Zahid Oruj told Trend on Friday.
"It the status of civil servant be given to the military personnel, there will be completely different approach to the question of their support. I will bring up this question in the discussion at the session," Oruj said.
Oruj said, one of the main requirements was to consider a number of issues related to the status of military personnel after the adoption of a law On Military Duty and Military Service in Azerbaijan in 2011.
Politics in military construction of Azerbaijan includes issues related to determining the status, rights and obligations of individuals serving in the military sphere as well as their social security, Oruj said.
"The more opportunities created and the technical basis of the military industry in establishing external relations formed, the more urgent becomes the question of professionalism and support of the military personnel. Improvement of military personnel support against a background of growing economic opportunities in Azerbaijan, determination of their status is a very important issue," Orudj said.
Adoption of the Law On status of servicemen will create an important incentive for individuals wishing to become professional soldiers, Orudj said.
"Significant higher values and principles applied in international practice related to the duties and rights of servicemen should be reflected in the law." Orudj noted.
