The President warned officials: Otherwise, necessary measures will be taken

First and foremost, you must carry out all my instructions.

As reported by BAKU.WS, this was stated by President Ilham Aliyev, while receiving his new plenipotentiary representative in Nakhchivan and the appointed heads of the Executive authority of several districts.

"You are being appointed to leadership positions in various regions of our country. You have been given great trust, and I am confident that you will justify it through your work and efforts to fulfill the tasks before you. Of course, great responsibility requires great work. First and foremost, you must carry out all my instructions. The instructions that I give during each appointment of individuals to leadership positions in the regions should become their main principles of work - above all, to serve the people, to be with the people. Every person working in a leadership position, every official should be modest. In life, in everyday matters, they themselves and their close relatives should behave in such a way that there are no complaints regarding our common cause," said the head of state.

According to the President, in some cases officials behave inappropriately in society.

"Unfortunately, in some cases, officials behave inappropriately in society, show excessive arrogance, try to put themselves above everyone else, thereby losing their own authority and simultaneously discrediting our state and its policies. Along with this, in a number of cases, they engage in corruption and bribery. The Azerbaijani public is well aware that any government official engaged in unseemly activities will ultimately have to answer before the court, the law, and such cases, unfortunately, exist even today. However, it is also quite obvious to society that no illegal action will remain without consequences. Therefore, my requirement for you is to simultaneously wage a serious fight against unsightly phenomena, select reliable, professional, and morally clean personnel in your staffing policy, and prove through your work in the regions that you will lead that my choice was correct. Otherwise, of course, necessary measures will be taken," noted the head of state.
