Bahar Muradova, the Deputy Speaker of the Azerbaijani Parliament, urged citizens not to forget that they live in a secular state.

Muradova was commenting on the events in Nardaran settlement.

"Our citizens should be able to live according to the national customs, traditions and values of a modern country," she told reporters Nov. 30. "This is the task of each of us."
