The name of Azerbaijan should sound like Northern Azerbaijan, said Majlis MP Gudret Hesenquliyev at today's parliamentary session, Azerbaijani media reported.

"Steps taken in Azerbaijan in the direction of state building make it necessary to adopt a new constitution. The first step we will take here should be the renaming of Azerbaijan. The name of our country should be Northern Azerbaijan. The same way as in the names of other divided nations there are the expressions North and South. I think, it would also be an incentive for compatriots from South Azerbaijan", Hesenquliyev shared his idea, referring to Iran.

Today another Azerbaijani MP spoke about "Western" Azerbaijan, implying the territory of Armenia.
