🇦🇿 Political Manifesto — New Azerbaijan
📜 Our ideology is the golden mean for our country and society!
Today I present my political manifesto "New Azerbaijan", a vision for a sovereign, fair, and prosperous state.
It outlines key reforms in:
✅ Economy & Free Zones
✅ Agriculture — Land to Those Who Work
✅ Infrastructure Modernization
✅ Universal Healthcare & Education
✅ Social Justice & Anti-Corruption
✅ Industry & Import Substitution
✅ Balanced Globalization
📌 Let’s build the future together.
To become a full and equal partner in the European family, Azerbaijan must overcome its dependence on oil. Reviving our industry based on our rich mineral resources, and developing high-tech and green energy sectors will diversify our economy. This will make us not just a raw material supplier, but a valuable partner in the EU's production chain, which is the foundation for successful integration.

The revival of Azerbaijan's agricultural sector is a key step towards closer ties with the European Union. Eliminating monopolies and supporting our farmers will not only provide our citizens with access to quality products but will also make Azerbaijan a reliable and self-sufficient trading partner for the European market. Food security is one of the pillars of European cooperation, and our potential in this area is immense.

The path to European integration is about more than just economics; it is also about social values. Addressing problems such as the non-payment of child benefits, delays in social payments, and the low quality of healthcare and education is critically important. Creating a truly high-quality and accessible system for healthcare and education, as well as supporting our youth, is not just a matter of justice. It is an investment in human capital, which is the main driving force of a successful European state.
