ABSTRACT

Major General Fazil Balahasan oglu Guliyev has served as head of the Organizational-Inspection Department of the Azerbaijan Ministry of Internal Aairs since 2001. General Guliyev’s insights are particularly interesting in light of the many signicant events that have impacted the Republic of Azerbaijan since he began his career in 1983. I met General Guliyev at the 16th Annual International Police Executive Symposium in Ohrid, Macedonia. During the symposium, General Guliyev graciously consented to allow me to interview him regarding the police in Azerbaijan, his career, and his insights regarding policing. e interviews were conducted through a series of e-mails in which questions and responses were exchanged.
