    Ethnic Azeris to stand in Canada parliamentary election

    24-12-2008 20:25:18


    Ethnic Azerbaijanis will run for parliamentary elections to be held in
    Canada in 2012, according to Aslan Khalidi, a member of the New
    Democratic Party (NDP) of Canada.

    Khalidi told reporters that the Azerbaijani communities had worked
    together to nominate Azerbaijanis for the parliamentary election.

    "Some Armenian members of the NDP have left the party as the number of
    its Azerbaijani members has increased. Now, Armenians are beginning to
    be represented in the Liberal Party of Canada," he said.

    Khalidi said Canada`s citizens of Azerbaijani origin have to first
    learn English in order to be represented in the country`s parliament.

    Thirty-five members of the NDP are currently represented in the
    Canadian parliament.
