Today, Azerbaijan
Sept 8 2005
The democratic elections in Azerbaijan are a great test for the
country. It is the test to reiterate the democracy and establishment
of a favorable international image of the country, Asim Mollazada,
the chairman of the Democratic Reforms Party (DRP) stated on Monday.
He voiced his agreement with the position of Terry Davis, the
Secretary General of the Council of Europe, who stated in Baku that
the democratic elections will have positive impact in the resolution
of the Armenian-Azerbaijani conflict over Nagorno-Karabakh.
"The elections even not directly, but indirectly will impact
on the settlement of the Armenian-Azerbaijani conflict over
Nagorno-Karabakh. Sympathy of the international community to Azerbaijan
as a democratic country is rather deep. It will be easier for us
to inform the world about the existing realities, the unfairness in
regard to Azerbaijan, occupation of areas, the Armenian aggression,"
Mollazada underlined, voicing his disappointment with Azerbaijan's
failure to realize all said thus far.
According to the leader of the DRP, the stability which will
consolidate as a result of the democratic elections will also be
a factor assisting Azerbaijan in the peaceable resolution of the
Nagorno-Karabakh conflict.
The same time Mollazada voiced his hope for increase of attention
towards the parliamentary elections in Azerbaijan. "Azerbaijan is
one of rare Moslem countries, which possesses tremendous democratic
potential," the DRP leader stressed. "Azerbaijan is interested in
the integration into the European community, which accepts only the
countries with definite level of cultural values, including the
organization of free and democratic elections, freedom of press,
multi-party system," he stressed. Today Azerbaijan has more chances
for holding democratic elections, Mollazada added.
"Of course, the establishment of the democratic society is possible
only with participation of Azerbaijanis. None of us will develop
democratic institutes and liberal elections system," Mollazada
concluded, underlining that support and experience of all those
who passed this path, will help Azerbaijan to intensify the pace of
democratic arrangements.
