Azerbaijan, Baku, 25 September / Trend , J.Babayeva /
The opposition Azerbaijan National Independence Party (ANIP) believes that the opposition parties, not conducting an independent policy, can not create a lasting and sincere unity.
"There is no genuine unity between the opposition parties in Azerbaijan. One of the reasons for this is that political leaders do not retreat from their ambitions. Another reason is that many parties for one reason or another depend on sponsors and political forces. So they can not pursue an independent policy. The lack of genuine relationships and trust between the party leaders also prevents the establishment of long-term unity," secretary of press and propaganda of ANIP Ali Orujov told Trend on Sept. 25.
Orujov said unfortunately, instead of integration, there is confrontation, and cold relationship between the opposition parties. "This is a bad influence on the parties themselves and on society. Society's trust in the unity of the opposition parties declines," said the secretary of the press and propaganda of ANIP.
As to the parties, preventing the unity of opposition parties, Orujov said that this is the Popular Front Party of Azerbaijan. "In most cases, the words and actions of Ali Kerimli do not coincide. Today Kerimli also can not pursue an independent policy, and the party, which he heads, is unable to make their own decisions. The fact is that they depend on those or other sponsors," said Orujov.
According to Orujov, in order to create a long-term unity in the camp of the opposition, the parties should be financially independent, and party leaders have in some measure to refrain from their own ambitions and understand that there are many things that can unite the opposition.
