"Participation in the elections is a wide election practice, which requires huge work and responsibility", said Mais Gulaliyev, chairman of the Green Party of Azerbaijan, nominating his candidacy for presidential elections, asked what the party can attain by participating in the election process.

He said owing to party's participation in the elections, the party activists gained more experience, in particular, in collecting signatures and holding election trainings.

"The next actions of the party are also useful for our further activity. We have to arrange an agitation campaign, which will help us to closely familiarize with voters and inform them about the views of our political structure.

Most speak of victory, implying that the party representative will be elected a president. Yet, we consider that victory is that the party will strive for powers step by step by passing all exams on the way. Our purpose is to consolidate the party's positions in the society.

If we manage to familiarize at least a portion of the population with our platform during these presidential elections, the party will win. In the future, we believe that the ideology of greens will be leading in the whole world.

We are not a party which fights for power in these presidential elections. If we gain 7-10% of votes, it will be a great victory to us. The Green Party of Azerbaijan was founded 1.5 years ago and this indicator will be serious for us.

Owing to it, our political structure will be able to attain more at municipal and parliamentary elections", said Gulaliyev.

He also added that about 30,000 signatures have been collected. The collection of signatures is conducted in line with a calendar plan. The campaign is planned to complete on August 25.
