Echo writes that in Azerbaijan it is necessary to reduce the number of ministries, because their staff is too inflated. This issue has been discussed for many years. It should be gradual; otherwise the army of unemployed will grow strongly.

It could be replaced by the Customs Service under the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
