Mubariz Ahmedoghlu: "The constitution of Azerbaijan may be introduced amendments on the status of Nagorno Karabakh and at the same time the articles, prohibiting election of a person as a president of the country for more than twice can be removed from the Constitution"

"I think there is a need for the senior leadership of Azerbaijan to express its attitude towards the initiative of the Yeni Azerbaijan Party to exclude articles, prohibiting the election of a person as a president of the country for more than twice from the Constitution of Azerbaijan", said famous political scientist Mubariz Ahmedoghlu, commenting on possible removal of these articles from Constitution.

He personally considers it incorrect to alter the Constitution of Azerbaijan so often.

"On the other hand, it is possible that objective grounds appear for it. There are all reasons to state that the Nagorno Karabakh conflict will soon be settled. It means that the constitution of Azerbaijan may be introduced amendments, connected with the status of Nagorno Karabakh. And then, I think, it will be possible to introduce amendments, Siyavush Novruzov is currently speaking of, to the Constitution.

According to him, the execution of this script in Azerbaijan will not be approved by the United States.

"As for the leading European states, I do not think that they will be unambiguously critical in this issue. The thing is that the European countries have no strict ban in this issue. Thus, German federal chancellor Helmut Coll was leading the country for about 17 years, Silvio Berlusconi came to power for the second time and Jacques Chiraque could also have been elected for the third presidential term if he wanted to.

Asked whether there is a strong opposition to avert execution of the plans of the Yeni Azerbaijan Party to introduce amendments to the Constitution of Azerbaijan, Ahmedoghlu answered negatively.

"I think there is no hope for appearance of such an opposition in Azerbaijan in the near future. I think the majority of the Azerbaijani population will approve this initiative of the Yeni Azerbaijan Party. I would not be surprised if there appear separate initiative groups speaking for the soonest conduction of a referendum to remove from the Constitution the articles, prohibiting election of a person for the post of the country president for more than twice", concluded the political scientist.
