Principles
The principles accepted by National Independence Party of Azerbaijan as an ideological basis in their activity are as follows:
Independence. Our nation possesses the right of independence and freedom favored by God and the nature; and we hope our nation will be recognized and considered by the world’s all peoples as a nation gained its independence through the struggle. A nation cannot defend and advance its existence and civilization without possession of independence. We perceive the goal of National Independence as an ideological foundation of movement for pure, just and magnificent future of national ideology.
Azerbaijanism. Azerbaijan being a historical motherland of our nation and common homeland of all people resided in its area consolidates all social groups living in Azerbaijan, all people with patriotic heart around its sanctity irrespective of nationality and the number. We consider that all peoples lived in Azerbaijan and people observing the laws and Constitution of the country, are national resources of Azerbaijan. Considering members of various national minorities functioned non-contradictory to state interests of Azerbaijan equal in rights with Turkic nation predominated in Azerbaijan we recognize their right to protect their language and develop civilization. We accept that Turks predominated in Azerbaijan bear responsibility for existence and national progress of National minorities in Azerbaijan.
Nationalism. Any nation possesses the right to prefer its interest over others on condition not violating freedoms, rights of other nations and benefit from existence and prosperity of the state. We estimating highly the interest of Turk nation accept the realization of the interest as faith. One of the most important dispositions of our society, possessed common language, culture, history, religion, tradition, folk-lore and written literature is national consciousness. We identify Turkism with Nationalism as a basis of national consciousness in Azerbaijan. We accept mightiness of Turk nation as a basis principle courageously inspired by our deep affection and love towards our nation and consider urgent any activity in this line.
National statehood. Admitting that nation is not for state, but state is for nation we consider the state an urgent institute for preservation of Azerbaijan’s indivisibility, realization of national interest and guarantor of freedom, liberty and equality. Referred to national statehood traditions of Azerbaijan, an independent Azerbaijani state must provide political, economic and moral development of not only separate classes, groups and layers, but also whole Azerbaijani citizens.
It is possible to gain success in the way of national prosperity in that case when the state creates considerable circumstance for political, economic and cultural development for its citizens and any citizen tries directly at the same time for fortification and development of the statehood.
Liberalism. The liberty of a person in normal case of the nation and the state must not be restricted by anything on condition not violating the freedom of other people. Taking as a target to establish the freedom of the nation entirely with the freedom of its each individual as unbreakable unity, considering any person inimitable and inviolable we think guarantee of all human rights and freedoms reflected in international documents one of primary conditions of establishment of modern democratic state.
Leadingness. For our nation’s assuming the worthy place amongst the world nations in history stage benefited by advanced scientific knowledge created for mankind, economic and legal mechanisms, moral values creatively; acceleration and expanse of our national culture, political and economic creation; distance of any Azerbaijani citizen from ignorance and black-Hundreder and his possession the most advanced world outlook and thought are very significant. Making steps on this way we hope Azerbaijan will go into the rows of the most leading countries near times.
