Iqbal Aghazade: "Decrease in the election campaign term can not cause positive reaction"

01 May 2008 [10:53] - TODAY.AZ
The Umid party, functioning in Azerbaijan, is against possible decrease in the terms of election campaign from four to two months.
The due announcement was made by party chairman, parliamentarian Iqbal Aghazade.

He said if this will be applied, it will not cause positive reaction.

"I do not think that the capacities of the opposition can thus be restricted and its chances be weakened. But the four month campaign is enough to inform each citizen about a candidate.

Currently the proposal is just an idea and the parliament has not yet discussed changes and alterations to the Electoral Code. If such reform is applied, we will speak against it", he noted.
