Azerbaijan, Baku, May 27 / Trend , J. Babayeva/

Azerbaijani opposition party Modern Musavat is going to change its political stance.

"The party has chosen a radical position as an adequate response to ongoing processes in the country. The main reason for non-constructive position is a social injustice in society, arbitrariness of officials and other negative factors. By taking a radical position, the party put the interests of the state and people above all. By fulfilling its mission, the party turns into a powerful force that could change the situation in the country," Chairman of the Modern Musavat Hafiz Hajiyev said to Trend .

Hajiyev has been chairman of Azerbalig state concern in 1992 to 1993. He has been member of Azerbaijan Popular Party and Musavat Party earlier. He founded Muasir Musavat Party in 2000. The Party was granted state registration in 2002. Hajiyev won 0.65 percent of votes in the 2008 presidential elections.

He said the commission of five has designed draft changes to party's program.

"The initial draft was adopted during initial discussions. There were suggestions on improving the project during consultations with district and city organizations of the party. It is expected that a final draft will be approved at a meeting in June," he said.

Hajiyev said that the plan of a political party will again be discussed with a view to establishing links with other radical opposition parties.
