The Chairman of the Disciplinary Commission of the Milli Majlis Eldar Ibrahimov spoke at the commission meeting held on 27 January to congratulate the MPs on the start of the spring session. He added that the agenda of the meeting was about the work that the Disciplinary Commission had carried out during the spring and autumn sessions of 2020.

The Azerbaijani Parliament demonstrated a very efficient kind of work during the spring, extraordinary and autumn sessions of last year despite the difficulties posed by the COVID-19 pandemic. Substantial reforms were implemented under the guidance of the Chair of the Milli Majlis Sahiba Gafarova while the MPs made very remarkable efforts on the legislative field as well as in the public and political life of the country.

The Disciplinary Committee based its work on strict compliance with the Laws of Azerbaijan and acted in the spirit of openness and transparency. The incoming messages were examined with utmost care before appropriate acts could be taken. Besides, the Commission drafted its own Charter in conjunction with the parliamentary Committee for Law Policy and State-Building – the draft is expected to be approved during the spring parliamentary session of this year.

The Second Garabagh War in which our triumph had been made possible thanks to the wise policy and leadership of the Head of State Ilham Aliyev who had turned Azerbaijan into a rapidly-advancing country with an army equipped with the latest in armaments over the 17 years past had become the biggest highlight of 2020, Mr Ibrahimov pointed out. Every MP is proud and honoured with this victory just as any citizen of the victorious country is, according to him.

Going on, Mr Ibrahimov spoke of the highest level maintained by the Milli Majlis as a whole during the 44-day Patriotic War. The MPs on the Disciplinary Commission, too, were very active propagating on TV channels, in local and international mass media and in the social networks. The interviews that the President of Azerbaijan was giving to overseas media in those days played an unparalleled role in making the global community aware of the realia of Azerbaijan and unmasking the occupier-state alike.

After that, the meeting participants listened to the thorough report done by the Commission last year; the discussions followed. Deputy Chairman of the Commission Fazayil Agamali described the report as an innovation in the work practice of the Milli Majlis, adding that the hearings of such reports represented a novelty in the Milli Majlis of the sixth convocation in the first place.

The MPs Hikmat Mammadov, Sattar Mehbaliyev, Mader Musayev, Nasib Mahamaliyev, Malahat Ibrahimghizi and Nizami Safarov spoke of the Commission having worked democratically, openly and transparently. They commended both the work done last year and the report drawn up about it. It was said that every MP should be guided in their work and speeches by the sense of responsibility and should serve the national interests of Azerbaijan from now onwards, too.

The Commission members emphasised the idea that the victory won in the 44-day Patriotic War under the leadership of President and Commander-in-Chief Ilham Aliyev would abide in the history of Azerbaijan for evermore.

Following the discussions, the Commission approved its performance report on last year.
