Ali Aliyev, chief of ANIP said to APA that inspite of the differing opinions within the party, the post of the general secretary is vacant and he will name nominee within a week. "After Arzukhan Alizade was sent to the CEC as a representative, he was dismissed from the party membership," stated Aliyev.

To make it completely clear Aliyev underlined that the secretary of ANIP resigned from his post on his own wish.
