Several election alliances will be established on the eve of presidential elections. The missing parties in the last meetings will be probably represented in the same alliance. But the Council can not be turned to alliance at present momentum. I hope this supposition will increase in the processes, chairman of Azerbaijan Democrat Party (ADP) Sardar Jalaloglu told the APA.
He said that ADP supports the only candidate of opposition, establishment of election alliance, amendments in Election Code, establishment of democratic condition.
Jalaloglu saying that ADPâ€™s participation in election will be defined in the debate with other opposition parties advised to develop oppositionâ€™s idea Consultation Council.
ANI chairman Ayaz Rustamov said that they have not yet debated the bodyâ€™s being substituted with election alliance. He said that the general opinion is linked with the partiesâ€™ participation in the election.
â€œElection condition will be normalized and joint measures will be taken on the amendments in Election Code. I think that alliance is due to be established for struggling for democratic elections, but election alliance can not be established yet,â€ he said.
Member of Musavat Assembly Vurgun Ayyub finds consultations among opposition parties necessary. He said it is difficult to speak about the further status of the above-said Council as it has not yet become official body.
â€œI think we will probably witness establishment of any body pre-election. Musavat always supported opposition partiesâ€™ carrying out joint debates. If such body is established, Musavat will be one of its founders. There is no opinion regarding it yet,â€ he said.
The chairman of Open Society Party (OSP) Akif Shahbazov stated that opposition can participate in the lections with the only candidate.
â€œBut only candidate was oppositionâ€™s problem and this idea caused its destruction. Therefore it is too early to speak of it,â€ he said.
