		In 1992, Elchibey was elected president of Azerbaijan, and his government implemented such fundamental democratic changes as the introduction of a multiparty political system, adoption of laws defending ethnic minorities, freedom of expression, introduction of a national currency, and freedom of trade.
		Opinions of Elchibey have always been ambivalent: "inspirer of our independence" and "the man who brought the democratic movement to a deadlock;" "founding father of the nation" and "poor administrator;" "bearer of the national idea" and "reactionary nationalist." That is what both his admirers and critics have said about him.
		Elchibey counted very much on the assistance of the West and Turkey in his confrontation with Russia and Iran, but he could not see that neither the West nor Turkey were ready to assist him fully.

		However, during the Presidency of Abulfaz Elchibey, the second leader of Independent Azerbaijan, Aliyev staged a well-orchestrated political comeback to come back to power amidst political turmoil caused by the struggle between nationalist fractions.
		Elchibey, who initially enjoyed a strong popular mandate, had no political experience and no control over the administrative apparatus, still dominated by the former Communist Party leaders.
		Aliyev was elected President in October 1993, in an election boycotted by Elchibey’s Popular Front, and then reelected in 1998 with a 70 percent vote in an election campaign in which, according to OSCE report, “very serious irregularities and violations were observed”.

		AUTHOR- But,this wish of Elchibey could not realized.And the reason is very simple-chairman of the Musavat considers himself worthy and rela candidate more than his descendant to that post.And realisation of no wishes of any allies is a condition of existence of sychological contrasts between them.And Abulfaz Elchibey understands it himself.
		ELCHIBEY- Of course,there is.It will also be confirmed by the time.I beleive that there is a person in the APFP that can substitute me. Noone can reject it.The APFP is such an organization that whether it changes its leaders,it will live.
		ELCHIBEY-We support the formation of new political alliance.We try to normalize the most contrast relations.There are such forces out of the DemCongress that they do not want to come to the organization.
