Azerbaijan, Baku, Feb 12 / Trend , A.Huseynbala/
At the meeting of the Azerbaijan Parliament on Feb. 12, changes and additions were adopted to item on NGOs of Law on legal status of foreigners and stateless people.
According to the changes to the law, the names of state agencies of Azerbaijan and also the names of outstanding personalities (without their immediate relatives' or heirs' permission) can not be used as names of non-governmental organizations.
"The issue on who was named in the list of outstanding people will create a problem. Because the families of many people consider that their relatives are outstanding personalities as well and must be named in the list," MP Ganira Pashayeva said on Feb. 12.
Sometimes NGOs appropriate names of state agencies or famous people, Pashayeva said.
"Some of these organizations are engaged in impartial affairs. Naturally it causes much concern. Therefore, I think this matter must be settled by law," the MP said.
It is necessary to settle the issue of using names of famous people, she said.
