The great achievement was that the Azerbaijani model of the state system establishment and development was established over the past period.” He said: “New Azerbaijan Party`s ideological principles today reflect the national interests of the Azerbaijani people. YAP`s principles included independent statehood, rule of law, Azerbaijanism, constructive cooperation, social justice. And these principles are accepted by the people of Azerbaijan. These principles are the Azerbaijani government`s values. We are very happy that the national leader`s ideas are continued by our President Ilham Aliyev. As a result of the Head of State`s tireless work Azerbaijan became one of the most rapidly developing countries in the world. Time shows that there is no alternative to Heydar Aliyev policy, and that the people of Azerbaijan were right to support Ilham Aliyev.”

Deputy Chairman - Executive Secretary of the New Azerbaijan Party, Deputy of Prime Minister of Azerbaijan Ali Ahmadov said YAP has more than 650,000 members, adding 40% of them are youth. “This proves that the youth of Azerbaijan support the political strategy launched by national leader Heydar Aliyev, and which is today continued by President Ilham Aliyev,” he said.
