The possibility of establishing a single, unified municipal governance model in Azerbaijan’s major cities should be considered.
AzerNEWS reports that Siyavus Novruzov, a member of the National Assembly, stated this during today’s plenary session of the parliament, as reported by Report news agency.
Citing Baku as an example, Novruzov noted that the capital currently has 45 functioning municipalities:
“However, merging these municipalities into a single, large city municipality could be considerably more effective,” he said.
Another National Assembly member, Fazil Mustafa, expressed his support for the proposal:
“I cannot speak for other cities, but in Baku, implementing this model seems feasible,” he added.
