The deputy claims that the changes contradict the spirit of the Constitution and gives specific examples. Especially, Hasanguliyev singles out a clause on deprivation of an MP"s mandate.
The website Oxu az refers to the situation with the families of martyrs who cannot receive the money owed to them for a family member who is dead or missing. The sum is 11 thousand manat.
