    Azerbaijani Parliament held a meeting today. MPs touched upon
    some issues during the parliamentary debates, APA reports. Mubariz
    Gurbanli said speeches of MPs deal with press. "There is no need
    for such speeches. That is why parliament should remove or remain
    current issues".

    Fazil Gazanfaroghlu protesting these views said MP has right to raise
    any question. He touched upon arrest of journalists and condemned
    such actions. Gulhuseyn Ahmadov proposed to establish Commission on
    Nagorno Karabakh under the chairmanship of Bahar Muradova. Panah huseyn
    supported the establishment of Commission speaking on the pressures
    against press. Igbal Aghazada stressed the importance of approving
    law on Defamation calling the release of imprisoned journalists. "Why
    only oppositionist journalists are arrested?

    Siyavush Novruzov opposed the idea of establishing Nagorno Karbakh
    Commission in parliament. He said imprisoned journalists face concrete
    charges. "They are engaged in many shady deals using journalist
    profession as a cover".

    Gudrat Hasanguliyev proposed to give status of settlement to Abragunus
    village of Julfa. First vice speaker Ziyafat Asgarov recommended him
    to apply to corresponding committee.

    Jamil hasanli said Armenian parliament already has Commission on
    Nagorno Karabakh stressing establishment of such Commission in
    Azerbaijani parliament. Aydin Mirzazada opposed the decision.

    Ziyafat Asgarov said there is no need for Commission on Nagorno
    Karabakh." President and Foreign minister are engaged in this issue".

    the freedom of speech and press." Let us look which countries approved
    law on Defamation? You think this nation is worthy of insulting? This
    law propagates just this".
