A meeting of the representatives of eight opposition parties with the authorities is expected until the end of this week, said the chairman of the Classic Popular Front Party, Mirmahmud Miralioglu.
According to him, issues of political prisoners, as well as the possibility of launching a large-scale dialogue with the authorities will be discussed.
According to Miralioglu, originally the meeting was planned for December 3-4, but later the date was moved. He recalled that a number of political parties last month appealed to the authorities with a proposal to start a dialogue.
According to him, at a meeting later this week will take part: Classic Popular Front, the Democratic Party, "Umid", "Azadlig", "Aydinlar" Liberal Democratic "Great Azerbaijan", "Citizen and development." Who will be the part of the authorities, is still unknown, he said.
Deputy Chairman of "Musavat" ,Gulaga Aslanli, told Turan, that "Musavat" did not appeal with such a proposal to organize such a meeting, and will not take part in the meeting. Member of the Supreme Majlis of PFPA, Hasan Karimov, told Turan, he believes that participation in such meetings is pointless. -05D04-
