On Friday leaders of opposition parties of Azerbaijan held a round table on the proposal of the Yeni Azerbaijan ruling party about holding a referendum and lifting restrictions on election of one and the same person, as a president for more than twice, said head of the central office of the Musavat party Arif Hajili.

He said the event was attended by the parties, joining the Azadlyg bloc, including the Popular Front Party of Azerbaijan, Liberal Party of Azerbaijan and Civil Development Party, as well as the Musavat Party, Democratic Party of Azerbaijan and Classical Popular Front Party.

"The opposition leaders have appealed to intellectuals, public organizations and public calling on them to pay attention to this negative fact and spare no efforts for prevention of this step.

Moreover, they call on the international organizations to pay attention to holding a referendum through a prism of commitments, assumed by Azerbaijan while joining the Council of Europe.

The political organizations plan to fight together against execution of this idea", noted Hajili.
