Azerbaijan, Baku, May 29 / Trend , A. Huseynbala/
Azerbaijani parliament adopted a law to unite several municipalities.
"Though there are a number of municipalities in Azerbaijan, in fact they do not operate. Therefore unification of municipalities is important," parliament's Regional Issues Committee Chairman Arif Rahimzade told Trend .
He said there are 2,757 municipalities in Azerbaijan. "The number of municipalities is expected to be reduced up to 1,766. About 1500 municipalities will unite," Rahimzade said.
Azerbaijan launched municipalities in 1999.
