BAKU, Azerbaijan, October 1.
The Prosecutor General’s Offices of Azerbaijan and Russia have
signed a cooperation program for 2027-2028.


The program was signed during an official visit to Russia by an
Azerbaijani delegation led by Prosecutor General Kamran Aliyev,
Azerbaijan’s Prosecutor General’s Office press service said.


As part of the visit, Aliyev held a bilateral meeting with
Russia’s Prosecutor General Alexander Gutsan.


Aliyev thanked the Russian side for the special attention and
hospitality extended to the Azerbaijani delegation. He noted that
Azerbaijan and Russia have deep cultural, political and legal ties
that have developed over many years.


He said that, as a result of the close and friendly relations
between Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev and Russian President
Vladimir Putin, relations between the two countries have developed
into a strategic alliance. This, in turn, creates favorable
conditions for productive working relations between the law
enforcement agencies of the two countries.


Aliyev expressed satisfaction with the current level of
cooperation between the prosecutorial authorities of Azerbaijan and
Russia, noting that the ties cover two main areas.







In addition to studying the law enforcement practices and new
legislative institutions of the two countries, cooperation is also
expanding in providing legal assistance in specific criminal cases
and extraditing individuals who have committed crimes, he said.


Gutsan, in turn, emphasized that the prosecutorial authorities
of the two countries have traditionally maintained a high level of
cooperation.


Thanking Aliyev for accepting the invitation to visit Russia,
Gutsan shared his views on expanding areas of cooperation. The
sides then discussed specific criminal cases.


At the conclusion of the meeting, the Prosecutor General’s
Offices of Azerbaijan and Russia signed a cooperation program for
2027-2028.


The sides expressed confidence that the document would
contribute to further strengthening interaction between the
prosecutorial authorities of the two countries and expanding
practical cooperation and the exchange of experience in areas of
mutual interest.
