“The president pays great attention to the dialogue with young people,” he said. “In general, establishing a dialogue with the population is one of the main directions of policy in Azerbaijan.”

“In this sense, the meeting with young people is of particular importance," Ahmadov added.

He added that more than 700,000 members of the New Azerbaijan Party, that is, the overwhelming majority, are young people.

“The youth also made a significant contribution to the successful completion of election campaigns in Azerbaijan,” Ahmadov said.

“The next municipal election will be held in December 2019,” he said. “We will make efforts for active young people to be able to participate in the election as candidates.”

“Thus, the youth will be able to actively participate in the country’s public and political life,” Ahmadov added.
