DIVIDED AZERBAIJANI OPPOSITION PARTY MAY REUNITE
By empty (2/16/2004 issue of the CACI Analyst)
Mirmahmud Fattaev, who heads the conservative wing of the divided Azerbaijan Popular Front Party (AHCP), told journalists in Baku on 16 February that the two parties that split in recent years from the AHCP have responded favorably to his 10 February proposal that they reunite. Fattaev advocated the reunification of his AHCP wing with the AHCP progressive wing headed by Ali Kerimli and the so-called Three G Group (Gruppa Gudrata Gasankulieva) headed by Gudrat Gasanquliyev. Kerimli\'s faction has signaled its willingness to realign with Fattaev\'s party, but ruled out any rapprochement with the Three Gs group, which is widely suspected of cooperating clandestinely with the Azerbaijani authorities.
