The parliament must take into consideration the opinion of Azerbaijani public, politicians and the majority of Azerbaijani people and consider the issue of lifting restrictions on the election as president for more than twice, said vice speaker of Milli Medjlis of Azerbaijan Bahar Muradova.
She said only some circles consider this step to be contradicting to democracy.
"This is their opinion. Everyone has a right for free expression of their opinion, as Azerbaijan is a democratic state. Therefore, we will discuss the opinion of not these people but of the majority of Azerbaijani public", said she and added that the consideration of this issue depends of its discussion by the commissions.
According to Muradova, the parliament may adopt a decision on this issue this year.
As for the conduction of a referendum, she noted that the parliament can adopt the due decision only after this issue is considered.
