YAP to nominate new round of candidates for parliamentary elections
By Laman Sadigova
After the official announcement of the date for parliamentary elections in Azerbaijan, the ruling party "Yeni Azerbaijan" (YAP) will nominate candidates for district elections.
This information was officially confirmed by the Deputy Executive Secretary of the party, Siyavush Novruzov.
He noted that as preparations for the elections continue, trainings are being conducted for persons engaged in collecting signatures.
Novruzov dispelled rumors that YAP has had difficulties choosing candidates as fully false.
"It's all slander, lies, and misinformation. There is not even a drop of truth. These are the action of forces whose aim is to destabilize the situation," he said.
He also said that there are no obstacles for party candidates who want to nominate themselves.
"YAP nominates its candidates according to the agreed decision. However, in accordance with the law, every citizen has the right to be elected. However, the candidates, united around a common ideology of the party must be respectful to the statute of the party and not to go against its decisions. If someone would take such a step, he or she should nominate a candidate on an individual basis. But this candidate will not get any support from the party," said the deputy.
Azerbaijan’s next Parliamentary elections will be in the fall of 2015.
