Azerbaijani MPs propose to change country’s name
A number of Azerbaijani MPs today proposed changing the name of the country at the meeting of the Milli Majlis (Parliament).
"Two-thirds of Azerbaijan is situated in the territory of Iran, therefore it is necessary to rename the country the Republic of Northern Azerbaijan," the chairman of the Popular Front Party of Azerbaijan holistic (PNFTSA), MP Gudrat Hasanguliyev said.
"Since the Gulistan and Turkmanchai treaties have been made against the will of the Azerbaijani people, they must be revoked," Mr Hasanguliyev said.
