By the end of the week, measures will be taken to found a new opposition party in Azerbaijan
“We will establish an initiative group in two to three days and will begin work to set up a new party, former MP Gulamhuseyn Alibayli, who is likely to run the party said to TrendNews.
Mazahir Gayibov, member of Supreme Majlis of Popular Front Party of Azerbaijan resigned on 17 September in support of Alibayli. Former PFPA deputy chairman Bahaddin Haziyev also resigned.
There are several options about the name of the party. We are completing discussions on this issue. When the initiative group is announced, we will inform about the name and political ideology of the party, Alibayli said.
Alibayli said resignations in PFPA have nothing to do with him.
“When I was chairman of Supreme Majlis of the party, I was on good terms with top rank party officials and other members as well. But I could not assemble supporters. I think everyone has a right to quit party and move to another party,” he said.
Majority of those represented in the election headquarters founded by him, have quitted PFPA. These people will unite in a new party, he said. /Trend/
