Baku. Parvin Abbasov â€“ APA. â€œThe listing of candidates from the New Azerbaijan Party (YAP) is a result of wide discussions within the partyâ€, said YAP deputy chairman and executive secretary Ali Ahmadov in his interview to the YAPâ€™s website, APA reports. Speaking about the independent candidates from the party, Ahmadov said: â€œIndeed there are only few such facts and it is a sign of discipline and consolidation inside the party, which has more than 500 000 members. I should notice that absolute majority of the party members support the united election strategy and tactic and use all opportunities to implement it. I think local organizations will do relevant work regarding the fact of independent nomination. Of course, several facts can not shadow the successful election campaign of such large party like YAP. It is impossible that several facts can shadow the unity of YAP, which united more than half million peopleâ€.

Ali Ahmadov said some opposition parties, which tried to compete with YAP, were using very useful methods. â€œThe opposition is struggling against YAP, but YAP doesnâ€™t struggle against any party in Azerbaijan. Our goal is to gain sympathy and confidence of the people. We are running for the votersâ€™ votes. We donâ€™t struggle against anything or anyone. We have very positive target, but the opposition gives a negative background to its struggle. They are always struggling against something or someone. They forget that they need to gain the votersâ€™ vote to win the elections. It needs to work for gaining the peopleâ€™s sympathy. I would like to stress one more issue. Some opposition parties were trying to make analyses that YAP expected for the oppositionâ€™s listing and then it would publicize its candidates. I would like to emphasize that there is no sense for YAP that who and where will be nominated by the opposition parties. In difference from the opposition we consider that only voters solve the fate of elections. Therefore we didnâ€™t learn the opposition candidates, but we learn the opinion of voters about our candidates. YAP considers that our candidates are superior of the opposition candidates for all parametersâ€.

Ali Ahmadov said every member of the party would defend the YAPâ€™s consolidation. â€œI believe that both members of the parliament from the party, as well as the members, whose names were not nominated in the listing will support the YAPâ€™s election campaign. It is a result of unity of our party. They will contribute to the successful election campaign. Unfortunately our opponents try to create problems inside the party spreading slanders and baseless information, but all of their attempts have ailed so far. I would like to stress resolutely that the oppositionâ€™s meaningless and unjustified struggle against us will not give any resultâ€.
