The Head of the Azerbaijani Armenians Assembly, Grigoriy Ayvazyan, said at today's press-conference in Yerevan that he is going to run for president in Azerbaijan in autumn of the current year.
"Being a citizen of Azerbaijan and grounding on its Constitution, I am going to exercise my right and take part in the presidential race. The Armenians - is one of the state building nations of Azerbaijan, and have a full right to participate in all the political processes developing in this country", - he said.
He also added that all his papers to be submitted to Central Electoral Commission of Azerbaijan are ready, and if his candidacy is not registered, it will demonstrate once again the fascist nature of the Aliyev's regime, which is afraid of even one Armenian.
Ayvazyan is confident that if registered, he will be supported by 60% of voters - not only Armenian refugees but also other national minorities of Azerbaijan. "The Azerbaijani authorities defied political and economic rights of one of the state building nations - the Armenians. Our purpose is to restore these rights. The Armenians
should have an opportunity to choose their own destiny and the destiny of their country", - he said.
