Azerbaijan : women must become more active in politics

Source:

Azerbaijani national leader Heydar Aliyev laid the basis of modern state policy towards women in Azerbaijan," he said. "The ignorant and incomprehensible policy was conducted against women during the period of the Popular Front. At present, a new policy of a family and women which was commenced in 1993 successfully continues. I do not think that there are few women in Azerbaijani science, culture, politics and state establishment. But women must become more active in these areas and not to stay away from the world values and development."
