Dear conference participants!
Dear judges and employees of the Constitutional Court!
I sincerely greet you on the occasion of the opening
of the international conference on “Development of legislation through the
application of constitutional norms” dedicated to the 25th anniversary of the
Constitutional Court of the Republic of Azerbaijan.
The current anniversary of the Constitutional Court
coincides with the celebration of the 100th anniversary of the National Leader
of the Azerbaijani people, Heydar Aliyev, which has a deep symbolic meaning. It
was in the Constitution of the Republic of Azerbaijan prepared under the
leadership of Heydar Aliyev and adopted in 1995 that the main powers of the
Constitutional Court, as well as the important place and role of this
institution in the system of state authorities were defined.
Over the years, the Constitutional Court with its
effective activity and decisions has been ensuring the supremacy of the
Constitution of the Republic of Azerbaijan, protecting human rights and
freedoms, improving national legislation in accordance with dynamic social
relations, taking into account the provisions of the Constitution, the legal
culture in society and the practice of applying law in various fields, thereby
making a valuable contribution to its further development.
I am sure that the Constitutional Court will not spare
its efforts in the implementation of the ideas and principles of the
law-governed state and constitutionalism in our country.
I congratulate the judges and employees of the
Constitutional Court of the Republic of Azerbaijan on the occasion of the 25th
anniversary and wish the conference every success!
Ilham Aliyev
President of the Republic of Azerbaijan
Baku,
