History
On October 18, 1918 , in the first year of independence of the Azerbaijan Democratic Republic, the Council of Ministers adopted the Regulation on the Judicial Chamber of Azerbaijan. In the years of the ADR, the general prosecutors, as well as the ministers of justice, were Fatali Khan Khoysky , Halil Bek Khasmamedov , A.Safikyurdsky and Teymur Bek Makinski. The ADR Trial Chamber included all prosecutors of the Baku and Ganja Courts. After the collapse of the ADR on April 28, 1920, the prosecutor general’s office, like all other bodies, was abolished [2] .
On July 11, 1922, a decree “On the State Prosecutor's Office of the Azerbaijan SSR” was adopted, and thereby the Soviet prosecutor’s office was created. During the Baku commune, the Commissars of Public Justice were Ali Heydar Garayev, S. Chivanov, B. Velibeyli, G. Hajiyev, Y. Mamedov, who were also general prosecutors.
In 1936, the Prosecutor's Office of the Azerbaijan SSR withdrew from the subordination of the People’s Commissariat of Justice , and already subordinate only to the USSR Prosecutor's Office began its almost independent activity.
In 1955, on May 24, the Regulation on Prosecutorial Supervision in the USSR was adopted, which played an important role in the development of the prosecution system. And on November 30, 1979, the USSR Law "On the Prosecutor's Office" was adopted, which served as the Charter and the activities of the prosecutor's office were carried out on the basis of this law.
In 1991, Azerbaijan regained its independence, although in the early years it was weak and, as you know, there was no single judicial system.
On December 7, 1999, the Law "On the Prosecutor's Office" was adopted, which reflected all the provisions on the body [3] .
