Aqil Abbas addresses dispute with Speaker Sahibə Qafarova

Azerbaijani MP Aqil Abbas has addressed the public controversy following a disagreement with Milli Majlis Speaker Sahibə Qafarova during a plenary session on October 30. The dispute arose after Abbas made comments regarding housing in Aghdam, which the Speaker criticized, stating his remarks were off-topic and potentially damaging to the work being performed.

Abbas stated that Qafarova was correct in her reprimand, acknowledging that he had deviated from the scheduled discussion on the law regarding free legal aid. He clarified that he was not personally requesting a house, but rather suggesting a review of the status of internally displaced persons. He noted that current housing in Aghdam is being prioritized for families of martyrs and war veterans, with plans to include other displaced persons in stages as reconstruction continues.
