Holding an early parliamentary election in Azerbaijan will ensure the participation of citizens in pre-election mass events, Head of the Azerbaijani Parliament Apparatus Farid Hajiyev said during the meeting of the Plenum of Azerbaijan's Constitutional Court in Baku today, Trend reports.
According to him, the issue of the conformity of the parliament's discussed decision with Article 98-1 of the Constitution of Azerbaijan does not restrict the parliament's right to address this issue.
