BAKU: Azerbaijan is amending its law on intelligence and counterintelligence activities, permitting agencies to withhold reasons for rejecting individuals from military service within these organizations, Trend reports.
The issue was discussed during today’s session of the Azerbaijani Parliament. The fundamental goal of the newly proposed legal provision is to ensure secrecy in accordance with the unique roles played by these entities.
The suggested modifications also seek to improve the expertise and abilities of those working in the intelligence and counterintelligence domains. The revisions will increase these organizations’ ability to work with foreign law enforcement and intelligence organizations for professional growth and training through pertinent programs.
After the debate, the amendment was voted on and passed on its first reading.
