Malak Karimova, Psychologist, Coordinator of Khazar University’s Department of Psychology, Head of the “Khazar” Psychological Center, participated in the “Family Mediation” trainings held by the mediation training institution of the Academy of Justice of the Republic of Azerbaijan to improve the professional skills of mediators. M.Karimova successfully completed the training, passing an exam organized on May 3, 2021 to test the knowledge and skills of the participants.

It should be noted that from July 1 this year, Azerbaijan will start to use the mediation process as an alternative solution to pre-trial disputes. Especially in the case of divorce, the parties are expected to apply to mediation, not directly to the court.

It is noteworthy that the Erasmus+ KA2- the Mediation: Training and Social Transformation (MEDIATS) project, to which Khazar University is a partner, will contribute to this process which will also be implemented in Azerbaijan.
