Parliament of Azerbaijan has turned to President Ilham Aliyev with a request to schedule early elections, Reuters and BTA report.
The push for an earlier election date stems from the upcoming 29th United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP 2024), scheduled for November in Baku.
Sahiba Gafarova, head of Azerbaijan's legislative body, emphasized the importance of this moment. Adjusting the election schedule is seen as a necessary step to ensure that the country is well prepared to host such a significant international gathering.
