Azerbaijan, Baku, April 29 / Trend T. Hajiyev /
The Azerbaijani youth must actively participate in the modernization of Azerbaijan, Deputy Chairman and Executive Secretary of the New Azerbaijan Party Ali Akhmedov said at a conference on "Azerbaijani Youth and Modernity" today organized by the youth association of the New Azerbaijan Party for party activists in Naftalan.
He said Azerbaijani youth actively support the ongoing policy of President Aliyev. He added that it is impossible to modernize Azerbaijan and its future without sensible young people.
"The ruling party's position is that the Azerbaijani youth actively participated in the modernization of the country," he said. "Our young people have rich knowledge and modern world view. These and other factors show that youth is a great force in the development of Azerbaijan. "
Akhmedov regretted that the radical wing of the opposition parties, fulfilling the order of the forces that dislike the development of the country, has gathered a small part of the Azerbaijani youth.
"These forces are trying to use youth for their own purposes," he said. "But sensible young people must struggle to force them to abandon the wrong way".
Azerbaijan will continue developing, he said. He added that the current youth must be ready to govern the country in the future. It is necessary to maintain the current stability to lead Azerbaijan into the future, he said.
"The ways of implementing the planned policy must maximally correspond to the thoughts and world view of youth," Akhmedov said.
Akhmedov said that the State Program for Development of Azerbaijani Youth for 2011-2015 is under development upon President Aliyev's order.
The program will include the main objectives, taking into account the interests of youth development and the challenges ensuring this development. Adopting and implementing of this program will be a powerful impetus to the development of the Azerbaijani youth, he said.
