Qulamhuseyn Alibeyli: "It is necessary to restrict powers of the Azerbaijani President"

"Azerbaijani parliament should expand its powers, as such form of governance would be more correct', said Qulamhuseyn Alibeyli, former chairman of the Supreme Medjlis of the Popular Front Party of Azerbaijan and presidential candidate.

He said that by widening the powers of the parliament, it is necessary to restrict the powers of the president.

"This demand complies with the first article of my election platform to form a basis for my agitation campaign.

The election platform also fixes a paragraph, demanding to ensure freedom of assembly and mass media in the country.

It is planning to hold reforms in economic sector, envisioning attracting investments to the non-oil sector, thus reducing oil dependence", said he.
