headlined “The Election Movement for Karabakh has been established”
The Election Movement for Karabakh (EMK) held its presentation
ceremony yesterday [27 July]. Its leader Masud Hamzayev spoke about
the purpose of the movement which had been set up by a group of young
people. He said that the movement will support candidates which it
considers acceptable and campaign for them. Hamzayev said the
preference will be given to candidates expressing people’s position on
the Karabakh issue.
“The solution of the Nagornyy Karabakh problem depends on democratic
election,” Hamzayev said.
The chairwoman of the Takamul [Evolution] public union, Vasila
Movsumova, said that not a single document had been drawn up in the
parliament so far which could have changed the international public’s
position on the Nagornyy Karabakh conflict. She believes that the
parliament is taking a passive stand on this issue.
The new movement’s deputy chairman, Zahid Akbarov, urged the
Azerbaijani youth to be more politically active and said efforts will
be made to unite the young people in the organization.
