Political forces on leaving the NCDF by "Musavat"
"Musavat" is not an ordinary party, and its leaving the National Council of Democratic Forces (NCDF) is a serious blow to the structure, said the head of the Supreme Mejlis of the Civil Solidarity Party, Rafiq Manafly, about leaving the NCDF by Musavat party.
However, he noted that the leaving by "Musavat" was expected , since after the presidential election leadership of the party launched the discussion on "new formats of cooperation in connection with the creation of a new political situation."
"Could "Musavat" find a new form of cooperation is not yet clear , however, it is a serious blow on the opposition forces, and one can only regret on this occasion," said Manafly.
In his view, this step will be a blow for the "Musavat" party itself.
A member of the NCDF , head of the EL Movement, Eldar Namazov, also regretted about leaving the NCDF by party "Musavat" .
He noted that the statements of representatives of the party last month gave reason to anticipate such a step from the party “Musavat.” -05B-
