Chairman of opposition Musavat party Isa Gambar said that the Azerbaijani authorities most of all resemble the collapsing regimes of Northern Africa and Middle East on the pos-Soviet territory.
According to him, an imitation of political dynasty is evident, what is absolutely unacceptable for democracy. The authoritarian methods of administration, merger of financial, military and political powers and absolute monopolies in economy create an affinity between Azerbaijan and Libya, Turan reported.
“The April 2 rally displayed the people’s decisiveness, as well as necessity and inevitability of democratic changes. This is a message for the authorities. The rally also showed that one should not speak about democratic values and simultaneously support an authoritarian regime – this refers to international organizations,” said Gambar.
He added that earlier the Azerbaijani authorities stated there is no opposition in the country and the population supports the President’s policy, while now the same authorities say there is a radical opposition, which leads the country to nowhere.
