Member of the parliament expressed their views on current issues.
The MPs emphasized that today the Azerbaijani nation is fighting a war alone for its territorial integrity, sovereignty and justice under the leadership of Supreme Commander Ilham Aliyev. However, international institutions and various interested circles support occupying Armenia both materially and with weapons and ammunition. In the speeches, they also expressed attitude towards the activities of the OSCE Minsk Group, which did not yield any results. It was stated that today Azerbaijan is struggling at the political and diplomatic level as well. Addresses of the President to the people, decisive speeches, and the heroic struggle of the Azerbaijani soldier for the restoration of Azerbaijan’s territorial integrity are vivid examples of this.
Later, the discussion of the draft laws included in the agenda began.
Chairman of the Milli Majlis’s Regional Affairs Committee Siyavush Novruzov informed about the draft law of the Republic of Azerbaijan “On renaming Veng village of Khojavend district of the Republic of Azerbaijan as Chinarli village”. He noted that Armenia committed numerous crimes by occupying our lands, committing genocide against the Azerbaijani people, and changing local toponyms. It has changed the names of more than 700 districts, cities, towns and villages, as well as many historical and cultural monuments in the territory of Western Azerbaijan and Nagorno-Karabakh. At present, under the leadership of Commander-in-Chief Mr. Ilham Aliyev, operations are underway to restore Azerbaijan’s territorial integrity. Thanks to these operations, necessary works are underway to restore the historical names of settlements in the liberated lands. This issue is of political, legal and moral importance.
The draft law was adopted by voting.
