Azerbaijan’s National Security Ministry has cut 250 jobs, first deputy minister Madat Quliyev told reporters on Friday.
Quliyev said more ministry staff will be made redundant.
"I think the ministry needs a smaller staff,” Quliyev said.
Commenting on the recent arrests of senior ministry officials on charges of abuse of office and corruption, Quliyev said:
"The investigation is still continuing. Those found guilty will definitely be imprisoned.”
President Ilham Aliyev fired his longtime National Security Minister Eldar Mahmudov in a surprise move in Oct.
Several high-ranking ministry officials were later arrested.
