    EDGAR HOVHANNISYAN: ALIYEV GIVES HIMSELF GREEN LIGHT TO BE PRESIDENT FOR LIFE

    "With intra-clan race for the pro-government candidate for president
    in Azerbaijan, constitutional amendments, adopted by the Azerbaijani
    president several years ago, made it clear that Aliyev is going to run
    for a third term," expert Edgar Hovhannisyan said in an interview with
    Panorama.am, commenting on the Azerbaijani ruling party's statement
    that it will name Ilham Aliyev as its presidential candidate for the
    third time in 2013.

    Aliyev gave himself the green light to be president for life, the
    expert noted.

    "Ilham Aliyev's decision to run for a third term is not
    unconstitutional from the point of view of Azerbaijani legislation,
    but it contradicts Western values and traditions, it is a signal
    to the world that there is a state in the South Caucasus which
    swiftly moves towards authoritarianism, with all its consequences,"
    Hovhannisyan concluded.
