Recall, the reason for the resignation of the Parliament was the appearance of a video interview by MP Guler Ahmadova with the former rector of Azerbaijan International University Elshad Abdullayev, during which they discussed the bribe for the election of Abdullayev to the MM. The opposition believes that this video is proof of rigging elections and meant that the deputies were appointed on the lists pre-defined in the Presidential Administration. -06D -
