Azerbaijan, Baku / Тrend corr S. Ilhamgizi / The main problem of the Azerbaijani opposition is that five or six parties consider themselves a leading force, the leader of the Public Forum in the Name of Azerbaijan, politician Eldar Namazov , said on the 12th of June. He was commenting on the establishment of new organizations within the opposition.
The politician noted that the Consultative Council that is expected to be established was not intended against the other opposition blocs. Namazov voiced his attitude on the occasion that the bloc Azadlyg, will not join the new Consultative Council. "The purposes of the political blocs and consultative councils differ. Their activities and duties are also different. All positions of the parties that are members of the political blocs should coincide. They have to have a single fundament, as well as a single candidate. The parties with differing interests can hold a joint fight for a solution of common problems in a consultative organization. As to superiority, the notion of a leading force has lost its meaning within the opposition. There is no criterion defining which party is leading," Namazov said.
Namazov was the head of the Secretariat of the Azerbaijani Presidential Administration from 1993-1999.
