The Party of Democratic Reforms (PDR) will be very active in the
upcoming parliamentary elections scheduled for November, according to
PDR chairman.
In his first appearance to the media as party chairman, Asim
Mollazada, a former prominent executive of the Popular front Party of
Azerbaijan (reformist wing) and member of Milli Majlis (parliament),
stated that PDR had already prepared an election program and will
take part in the election as a party to the election bloc, Union of
Democratic Reforms.
`We are ready to cooperate with all political parties and election
blocs,' Mollazada said, `every liberal political force in Azerbaijan
will be presented in the Union of Democratic Reforms.'
In respect of the programme and objectives of the party, Mollazada
said that they represent the interests of the middle class. `We
understand that maximum liberalization will give a new impetus to the
progress in democratic reforms in our country,' the PDR chairman
stressed. He also admitted that the strengthening of Azerbaijan's
roles on the international scale is directly linked to economic
prosperity of the country.
Mollazada also clarified the party's stance towards the resolution of
the Armenian-Azerbaijani ethnic conflict over Karabakh. `The
Armenian-Azerbaijani conflict [over Karabakh] must be resolved
through peaceful dialogue,' he said, `despite what has been built by
people, the loss of the Azeri elite or torches is not recoverable. We
have to step by step strengthen economic sides, thereby reinforcing
the army and getting an immediate shift in the process of talks.'
