Now it is the 21st century and people have developed national consciousness, pragmatic thinking and mature outlook. If you compare the positions of citizens, voters who are the main driving force of the elections in different periods, you will see that the Azerbaijani voters are already apprehending whom they will vote for and why: “They understand the activities and intentions of each candidate and aim to make a fully conscious choice between them.”

Now, when conflicts, crisis, hunger and misery are observed in a number of countries having great natural resources, Azerbaijan continues its dynamic development, reminds the island of stability in the world. The author of this progress – the authorities are calm and self-confident, continue the policy based on the will of the people and aims at the will of the voters.
