Azerbaijan, Baku, Feb. 17 / Trend A.Huseynbala /
Azerbaijani opposition Party has identified about 100 candidates.
"Despite the party has determined around 100 candidates, we can also support more successful candidates of other parties," Arif Hajili, the head of the Central Executive staff of Musavat, told Trend on Feb. 16.
Azerbaijani Parliamentary elections will be held in autumn 2010. Previous elections were held in November 2005. Azerbaijani parliamentary elections are held by the majority system in 125 electoral districts.
Party will hold the principle of nominating more successful candidate from each district. "We are ready to support non-party candidates, social and political figures, intellectuals, that will appear more successful than our candidates," said Hajili.
Each member of the party leadership should nominate his/her candidacy for election. "Because if we intend to enter into a serious electoral struggle and if we consider these elections not only as a mean of participation in the legislative power, but also an opportunity to promote democracy in the country, of course, first of all the party leaders should nominate their candidatures," he said.
Musavat senior official did not exclude the possibility of nominating candidates for all districts.
The dates of pre-election meetings, which were suggested by the Movement for Democracy, have not been set yet. "I think the Azadlig block will agree to take part in them and we can make a correct decision on the outcome of these meetings," Hajili said.
Musavat party was founded in Baku in 1911. The party was re-launched on Nov. 7, 1992. Gambar was elected chief of Musavat party with majority of votes.
The party is represented by five MPs in the parliament.
