Baku/21.04.18 / Turan: It seems that the opportunities of the Azerbaijani authorities to present surprises are inexhaustible, the leader of "Musavat" Arif Hajili remarked sarcastically, commenting on the appointment of Novruz Mammadov as the country's prime minister. "It was difficult to imagine a weaker, more incompetent and more incompetent person than Arthur Rasizadeh. But they found such a Novruz Mammadov," Hajili remarked ironically.
The head of the Movement for Democracy and Welfare, Gubad Ibadoglu, also considers the appointment of Mammadov as Prime Minister is an extremely unfortunate decision.
"I think that the head of state once again showed that he lacks the political will to form a more flexible and efficient government and implement reforms. This appointment bury the expectations of reform. The Prime Minister should be an independent person with a program of change and a team that can take responsibility for the implementation of this program. Novruz Mamedov does not possess either organizational data or economic, or professional economic knowledge for the implementation of reforms.
Therefore, this appointment is a declaration of continuation of the previous policy. The head of state, with this appointment, further downgraded the importance of the Cabinet and actually perpetuated the formality of the post of prime minister in Azerbaijan," Ibadoglu said.
Let those who are still naively expecting reforms from Ilham Aliyev, will calm down, the leader of the Popular Front Party Ali Kerimli wrote on his Facebook page. "By appointing his assistant, who is characterized by periodic inadequate statements, and who does not have any ideas about economics by the prime minister, Ilham Aliyev once again proved that he does not need reforms, development, but the security of his chair is necessary.
Therefore Aliyev gathers around himself weak and unskilled, because he does not expect them to be threatened, and secondly, against their background, he looks much skillful. Therefore, authoritarian power must change completely," Kerimli wrote. -063B06-
