Baku/14.09.22/Turan: On September14, at the initiative of the Azerbaijan Democracy and Prosperity Party (ADPP), the "Qanun" publishing house, with the participation of representatives of opposition parties and the expert community, held a discussion regarding the bill “On Political Parties” submitted by the authorities to parliament.

The meeting participants were presented  a position paper by the ADPP, which included proposals for amendments to the draft law. It was approved by the participants of the meeting.

It was emphasized that the draft law is in conflict with the society's course towards democracy and integration into the progressive international community. It contradicts the constitution, the laws of the country, the requirements of international conventions in the field of human rights and freedoms.

The bill provides for strengthening the control of power over political parties, limiting pluralism, and so on. A total of 10 conceptual proposals were made to amend the draft law.

It was decided  to develop an alternative draft law “On political parties”, which provides for the expansion of pluralism, rights and freedoms in the system of political parties.—0—
