    AZERI POLITICIAN WISHES FOR MORE INFLUENTIAL TURKEY

    Sept 26 2013

    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.
