Baku. Elbrus Seyfullayev â€“ APA. Members of the parliament discussed the current issues at the Milli Mejlis spring session meeting on Friday, APA reports. MP Igbal Aghazadeh called the closing of the mosques a suspicious process. â€œIt canâ€™t be done secretly because the secret work creates agiotageâ€, said Aghazadeh.

Vice Speaker of the parliament Bahar Muradova said the believers are in the focus of attention and the mosques are restored in Azerbaijan. â€œIndeed the parliament tribune canâ€™t be used for creating the agiotage. There is no need to make this issue a subject of discussion at the parliamentâ€. Muradova said if the parliamentarians concerned over any issue, they can address the concrete instancesâ€.

Speaker Ogtay Asadov said if some mosques were temporarily closed for the restoration, it canâ€™t be resounded. â€œThe government supports the reconstruction and restoration of the mosques. We spent four years in the parliament and have only a year ahead. Try to raise topical issuesâ€, said Asadov.

Member of the parliament Ali Ahmadov touched upon the activity of the OSCE Minsk Group and called it dissatisfactory. â€œThe president said it for many times. The last statement by OSCE Minsk Group French co-chair Bernard Fassier is not in accordance with the activity of mediator. It was stated for many times that the opening of the Turkey-Armenia borders depends on the solution to the conflict, but he said that those are different processesâ€.

Ahmadov said the mediator made statement contrary to the position of Azerbaijan and in accordance with the position of Armenia.

MP Jamil Hasanli reminded about the death of Peopleâ€™s Writer Sabir Ahmadli and said there was indifference to this event.
