Azadlyg bloc has adopted a decision regarding boycott of presidential elections in Azerbaijan, said deputy chairman of the Popular Front Party of Azerbaijan Hasan Kerimov.
He said as the party was not able to find the appropriate site for holding a session of the Supreme Medjlis, the parties, represented in the bloc, held sessions of the administration separately and confirmed the said tactics.

As for the form of boycott of presidential elections, particularly, whether it is possible for the bloc to hold mass protests, Kerimov said the following:

"If authorities ensure freedom of assembly, the bloc will hold mass protests. The said form of protest is not excluded as we have a right to organize mass actions", concluded Kerimov.

It was noted that the Azadlyg bloc is represented by the Azerbaijan Popular Front Party, Liberal Party of Azerbaijan and Civil Development Party.
