Azerbaijan, Baku, 26 August / Trend News corr. E.Babayev /The
opposition Democratic Party of Azerbaijan (DPA) made a statement
which condemns the decision by the Russian Federation Council which
recognizes the independence in Abkhazia and Ossetia. "Such a decision
is interference into the internal affairs in Georgia, as well as is
a step which contradicts to international law norms and opens way to
confrontation in the world," is stated in the statement by DPA.
On 25 August, the Russian Federation Council unanimously voted to
make an appeal to President to recognize the independence of South
Ossetia and Abkhazia. Later, the State Duma has unanimously supported
the appeal regarding recognition of the independence of South Ossetia
and Abkhazia.
The step taken by Moscow has demonstrated that it caused the recent
discord and hostility amongst nations, who live in the post Soviet
area, is stated in the statement.
DPA call on the world community and international organizations to take
into consideration Russia's actions, which contradict international
law norms, as well as to take more rational measures to keep security
of new independent states. DPA considers necessity to exclude Russia
from the OSCE Minsk Group, taking into consideration the fact that
Moscow stands behind the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, and is interested
side in the conflict.
DPA calls on the CIS member-countries to take into consideration
Russia's recent actions, which violated the requirements of the CIS
Regulation. DPA calls on Azerbaijanis and political forces to take
measures to keep independence and territorial integrity.
DPA was founded by Jalaloglu in 1991. The party took a radical
position against the Government until 2007. In January 2007, the
party took a new political course and improved relations with the
authorities. Protesting against such an action Rasul Guliyev, the
ex-chairman, and his supporters left the party and founded the Open
Society party
