Popular Front of Azerbaijan
The Popular Front Party of Azerbaijan ( Azerbaijani Azərbaycan Xalq Cəbhəsi Partiyası ) is one of the largest opposition parties in Azerbaijan . After the first democratic elections in 1992, she was elected the ruling party. It is patriotic and criticizes the current political system under the Aliyev clan.
Since the death of the former party leader Əbülfəz Elçibəy in 2000, the party has been split into two wings. One is the reform camp under Əli Kərimli , the other is the classic wing under Mirmahmud Mirəlioğlu .
The party is currently a member of the “Freedom” ( Azadliq ) electoral bloc - together with the ADP and National Independence parties . However, the parties lost the last parliamentary election (probably faked by the government) and did not even take up their seats in the new parliament .
history
The Popular Front (or National Front ) was founded on July 16, 1989 in the Azerbaijani Soviet Socialist Republic , which was a union republic of the former Soviet Union . It was part of the Azerbaijani liberation movement and established itself as a political party in 1992 under Əbülfəz Elçibəy .
The Popular Front was in power after the first democratic presidential election in 1992, when Ayaz Mütəllibov was voted out. When Elçibəy was President of Azerbaijan from June 7, 1992 to June 25, 1993 , a period of reforms began in Azerbaijan under the Popular Front Party .
In the Azerbaijani parliamentary elections in 2005, the party ran together with Müsavat within the Freedom party list , but won only one seat in parliament. Before that, the pro -government “ All Azerbaijani Popular Front ” (BAXCP) split off from the reform wing in 2002 under party leader Qüdrat Hasanqulijew and formed a loyal “opposition” that has a seat in parliament.
