At today's meeting of Milli Majlis , the MPs Malahat Hasanova and Fazil Mustafa opposed legal football betting, Topaz.
The deputies said they receive hundreds of requests from parents and wives of the families who have suffered from this sweepstake. Even teenagers under 18 have free access to these institutions, the owners of which are only interested in profit.
Then the Speaker Oktay Asadov said that this is not gambling, but a way to get rid of gray dealers and a way in which to support the development of local football.
The Youth and Sports Minister, Azad Rahimov, also told journalists that the criticism from deputies was unfair deputies. These stakes have been made before, and the profit went to the traffickers of the "black market." Currently 4.2% of the turnover of Topaz is received by the organizer, the state agency "Azeridmanservis", 30% is received by AFFA, and the rest goes to the development of other sports.
According to the defenders of the government betting, such practice of transparency of financial policies is applied in many countries. -17D-
