Azerbaijani lawyer Akram Hasanov has published a Facebook post alleging that an investigator from a law enforcement body dismissed a binding court decision during questioning of his client.
In his post, Hasanov directly tagged the Judicial-Legal Council of the Republic of Azerbaijan and the Supreme Court of the Republic of Azerbaijan.
According to Hasanov, the investigator stated during a conversation:
“Mən məhkəmənin qərarını q-a da almıram!”
The phrase, written in Azerbaijani and partially censored, conveys a dismissive and derogatory rejection of the court ruling.
Background of the Dispute
Hasanov said the matter concerns a commercial dispute between his client and another individual. The client prevailed in all court instances, including the Supreme Court. More than two years have passed since the final ruling entered into legal force.
Despite this, the lawyer claims that law enforcement authorities have reopened procedural actions related to the same dispute.
“I reminded them that there is a legally binding court decision. The case is closed. What kind of new proceeding is this?” Hasanov wrote.
He added that the investigator, whom he described as educated and respectful in personal demeanor, nevertheless expressed open skepticism toward the authority of the court’s decision.
Appeal to the Supreme Court Chairman
Hasanov also revealed that in November he requested a meeting with the Chairman of the Supreme Court to discuss what he describes as systemic irregularities within the judiciary. According to him, the Supreme Court’s office contacted him twice, asking him to wait for confirmation of an appointment.
He now says he no longer intends to wait.
“Over the past three months, the level of injustice I encounter in courts has only increased,” Hasanov wrote.
The lawyer stated that he is prepared to disclose the identity of the law enforcement body involved – but only directly to the Chairman of the Supreme Court.
“If he is genuinely interested in how law enforcement evaluates the court system, he should be interested in meeting. If not, I no longer see the point,” Hasanov wrote.
The post has sparked discussion on social media and raised broader questions about the relationship between final court decisions and investigative actions.
No official response from the relevant authorities had been issued at the time of publication.
