participation of Armenians at NATO seminar on November 26-28 in
Baku. Ramiz Mehdiyev said ahead of this all national protest against
visit of Armenian military men here within NATO Partnership for Peace
Program should not like that non-military Armenians also to be banned
coming here. Azerbaijan can not isolate itself form the world. We must
take part in the events of international organizations. It is not
right to prevent activity of such organizations in Azerbaijan. It may
form negative image of Azerbaijan. Armenian deputies may come to Baku
but their visit is being realized within international organizations.
Touching reforms in internal policy Ramiz Mehdiyev said government
carries on struggling against corruption. But we don’t want to make
turmoil around such measures.However dismissal of some of executive
powers as well as recent replacements is notconnected with
anti-corruption struggle. Chief of Presidential Administration said
personnel reforms had no any serious reasons. I have told that there
are many people whose potential exhausted or sick. We are very
grateful for their merits. We have replaced them. In other cases an
executive power does much in one region and we want other regions also
enjoy his experience and dedication. As to reforms in cabinet of
ministers Mr. Mehdiyev said it was authority of President and he would
determine number of posts for vice-premier. Regarding recent law
breaks and arrests at state commission on students admission Ramiz

system. Testing system has given much to education field of
Azerbaijan. Maybe some people dislike thissystem but tit doesn’t mean
we should abandon it. Mahir Mammadli
