    Azeri politician says forthcoming elections to be democratic

    Yeni Musavat, Baku
    17 Jan 05


    I can see no progress in Azerbaijani-Armenian talks on the Nagornyy
    Karabakh settlement, Eldar Namazov, president of the public forum For
    Azerbaijan, has said.

    "I believe that the continuing negotiations are a well-thought-out
    game of the authorities of the two sides. Azerbaijan and Armenia have
    always intensified talks ahead of elections," Namazov said in an
    interview with Azerbaijani Yeni Musavat newspaper.

    They want others to believe that they are close to striking a peace
    deal. But after elections are rigged, it emerges that there was no
    deal whatsoever, the politician said.

    But Namazov said he could see very serious positive changes in
    society. I am confident that democratic forces will unite ahead of the
    parliamentary elections this year, he noted.

    "Opposition parties, NGOs, business people and the intelligentsia
    agree that democratic changes are inevitable. Everyone understands
    that the only way out of the current situation in the country is to
    establish democratic principles and hold free and fair elections," the
    politician told the newspaper.

    Namazov stressed that the processes in Georgia and Ukraine were not
    accidental. He said he believed that democratic elections would be
    eventually conducted in all former Soviet republics, including
    Azerbaijan.
