Head of the Assembly of Armenians of Azerbaijan Grigory Ayvazyan,
who earlier decided to run for president of Azerbaijan, intends to
meet with the single opposition candidate for president of Azerbaijan
Rustam Ibragimbekov in Moscow to discuss cooperation issues, Ayvazyan
told media on 8 August.
He said the two presidential contenders have a common desire and
aspiration to get rid of Ilham Aliyev's dictatorship. In addition,
Ayzavyan, as a representative of the Armenian community, thinks that
involvement of Armenians in the public and political life of Azerbaijan
is legitimate and necessary.
"If Azerbaijani Central Electoral Committee refuses to register me
as a candidate for president, it will be a political decision, which
will not stop me, however, on the way to my goal," Ayvazyan said.
He is sure that successful cooperation with Rustam Ibragimov's team
will make closer the Armenian and Azerbaijani peoples in future
through creation of common mechanism of peaceful co-existence.
"Actually, Ilham Aliyev's policy of xenophobia leads the multi-national
Azerbaijan to a collapse and healthy political forces in that country
are well aware of that. Consequently, we have a good opportunity to
cooperate to avoid further aggravation of the situation," Ayvazyan
said.
He informed media that he had already sent his documents to Azerbaijan
a few days ago for registration as a candidate for president. Ayvazyan
said he was ready to visit Baku and fight for the post of the president
despite possible obstacles.
