Read moreThe possibility of establishing a single, unified municipal governance model in Azerbaijan’s major cities should be considered.
AzerNEWS reports that Siyavuş Novruzov, a member of the National Assembly, stated this during today’s plenary session of the parliament, as reported by Report news agency.
