15:14 08.08.13
An Azerbaijani-Armenian activist, who has nominated himself as a
candidate in Azerbaijan's upcoming presidential election, promises
to implement drastic changes in the country in case of being elected.
At a news conference on Thursday, President of the
Azerbaijani-Armenians' Assembly Grigory Ayvazyan said he is going be
democratic enough to drink the Armenian brandy in Baku, allowing the
Nagorno-Karabakh president to enjoy the Azerbaijani tea in Stepanakert.
"Regardless of the Azerbaijani side's competent bodies' willingness
or failure to respond to our lawful demand, we have made a decision
to do everything within our power to head to Baku to take part in
the upcoming presidential poll," he said.
Ayvazyan, who is a citizen of Azerbaijan, is considering the
possibility ofa collaboration with Rustam Ibrahimbekov, an opposition
candidate in Azerbaijan. He therefore is planning a trip to Moscow
to meet with the politician.
The activist added that his main conflicts with the Azerbaijani
candidate can be over the Armenian issue and the Nagorno-Karabakh
land dispute. He noted in the meantime, the Ibrahimbekov himself is
facing serious problems in terms of participating in the election.
"He is subject to criminal liability. Besides, he is a citizen of
Russia, which complicates a successful legal proceeding," he said,
noting that all the candidates, including himself, have different
ethnic backgrounds.
"Ilham Aliyev represents the Yerevan-NakhicevanI clan, which is well
known in Azerbaijan, but he descends from a Kurdish family. His wife,
Mehriban Aliyeva, represents the interests of the Baku population's
Jewish clan, so to say. The same they say about Mr. Ibrahimbekov, who
has Jewish origins. And me, I am naturally an Armenia," Ayvazyan noted.
