The draft law will be discussed at the autumn session of the Parliament, said the initiator of the draft law, first vice-speaker of the Azerbaijani Parliament Ziyafat Asgarov, APA reports.

He said that the development of law is headed by him: “We are basing on Article #106 of the Constitution in this regard. The name of the draft law has been officially determined. The document is called law "On protection of the honor and dignity of the President of the Republic of Azerbaijan”.

Asgarov said that the draft law will be examined after being developed and discussed at the autumn session in the near future: “We strongly need it. The president is elected by the people and he has supreme authority. Therefore, it is very important to protect the honor and dignity of the president. Nevertheless, Article #106 of the Constitution requires it.”

Referring to insults and slanders of some forces against President of Azerbaijan, first vice-speaker of the Azerbaijani Parliament Ziyafat Asgarov said that there is a gap in the legal protection of the president. He said that there is a need for a special law in this regard and offered to develop it.
