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”.

Elchibey concurrently heads the Movement for a United Azerbaijan (UAM), which is made up of a range of political and youth organizations affiliated with the opposition in Baku.
On July 27, Elchibey addressed a joint sitting of PFA and UAM youth organizations on "The role of youth in the national liberation struggle." Again anticipating an Azeri secession movement in Iran, he described it as a continuation of the abortive 1945-47 attempt to attach that part of Iran to Azerbaijan.
Elchibey is on record as asserting--at the PFA's congress last February, for example--that regaining Karabakh and "liberating southern Azerbaijan" are equally important goals and that the order in which they are to be pursued will depend on circumstances and opportunities.
