The website Modern.az writes that the activities of the State Media Support Fund should be checked. Deputy Vahid Ahmedov said that the activities of the aforementioned structure will be discussed in parliament. According to him, opinions were expressed about the injustice prevailing in this structure. This also concerns the distribution of apartments for journalists.

The closure of Azerbaijan's land borders was discussed during the parliamentary session on November 25. While the government’s decision cites the coronavirus pandemic as the main reason—despite the World Health Organization declaring its end last year—Zahid Oruj, Chair of the Human Rights Committee in the Milli Majlis, pointed to other factors. He stated, "Opening the borders could result in an influx of hundreds of thousands of non-Azerbaijani refugees due to the Russia-Ukraine war. Additionally, in Iran, many are prepared to cross into Azerbaijan to safeguard their lives and assets amid military strikes. Such waves of refugees could lead to humanitarian, social, and cultural clashes that may threaten political stability."
