11 November 2008 [10:53] - TODAY.AZ
The idea to hold a referendum and exclude articles, prohibiting election of a person as President of Azerbaijan for more than twice, is intended to protect the interest of statehood and people, said chairman of the Ana Veten party Fazail Aghamaly.
According to him, the president is responsible for his people and analyzing Ilham Aliyev's activity for the past five years, we will become witnesses that Azerbaijan's image has strengthened on the international arena, we have attained a status of a leader in the South Caucasus and the country started to develop dynamically and intensively.

"Yet at the age of 52 Ilham Aliyev will have to leave the politics, as, under the Constitution, he can not be elected more than twice. It is considered that for politician his activity begins at this very age. Ilham Aliyev's retiral would do no good to our people", said he, thus supporting Siyavush Novruzov's initiative.

Asked whether such a reform can be attributed to democratic principles, he said some politicians, who read much of history, compare the concept "democracy" with the principles, established in the United States.

"Naturally, we respect the United States and principles, established there. Yet, Azerbaijan has its own peculiarities, as we locate in such a geopolitical region that casual people, who may be at powers, will lead the country to disasters and tragedy.

In this connection Aezrbaijan must have such a leader, whose interests and positions will be recognized by the world community. Ilham Aliyev has already got this status.

On the other hand, there is no doubt that people will again vote for the president", said Aghamaly.
