Iqbal Agazade, running for presidency in Azerbaijan, told AA that
Turkey should be more influential in Caucasus
Chairman of Azerbaijan's Umid (Hope) Party Iqbal Agazade, a candidate
for the presidential election planned to be held on October 9
in Azerbaijan, told about his reasons for being a candidate, his
promises and the things he wanted to do if elected as president to
Anadolu Agency.
Noting that he would make radical changes in Azerbaijan's foreign
policy, the chairman expressed his willingness for founding a
Southern Caucasian Union together with Armenia and Georgia to solve
the Armenian-Azerbaijani conflicts and Upper Karabakh issue.
Agazade also said Turkey should absolutely have power in the region
in order to end Russian domination in the area.
Pointing out that the Upper Karabakh issue and other ethnic conflicts
in the region would not be solved as long as Russia continued
dominating the problematic region, Agazade stated his wish for
foundation of Southern Caucasian Union by taking EU as a model.
Agazade insisted that re-opening Turkish-Armenian border would help
solving Upper Karabakh issue and ending Armenian-Azerbaijani conflicts.
He also recorded that they had communication with several political
parties and non-governmental organizations in both Armenia and Georgia
in international domains.
Agazade also said that they would invest oil incomes in domains
out of petroleum and increase efficiency of these incomes to hint
socio-economic reforms he was planning for his presidential term
if elected.
