According to MP Hikmet Babaoglu, the decision will be approved by President Ilham Aliyev within 48 hours.
“Finally, the time has come for the liberation of the occupied territories. We urge the population of the relevant cities and regions to comply with the requirements of martial law and curfews,” he said.
The curfew will be announced in Baku, Ganja, Goygol, Yevlakh and several other cities.
It should be recalled that on September 27 the Azerbaijani armed forces launched an offensive along the line of contact in Nagorno-Karabakh. Armenia reported the destruction of several tanks and aircraft on the Azerbaijani side.
