Azerbaijan, Baku, 29 March /corr. Trend G.Jabiyav / Azerbaijan Democratic Party (ADP) accuses opposition leaders of their failure to demonstrate a unified position.
"International community and Azeri people will not provide serious support to the opposition if there is not trust on its unity," the ADP Chairman, candidate for presidency, Sardar Jalaloglu, reported to Trend .

The party took a new political course in dialogue with the authorities in January 2007. Rasul Guliyev, the former chairman of the party, and his supporters separated from the party protesting against the new political course of the party and founded their new Open Society Party.
