With a hasty referendum on constitutional amendments, Azerbaijan President Ilham Aliyev wishes to extend his rule.

The majority of respondents of a survey, which was conducted by Contact.az news agency of the country, hold this view.

A total of 161 out of 181 respondents expressed this opinion.

Solely 17 people noted that this constitutional reform is aimed at improving the Constitution of Azerbaijan.

When asked, “What will happen if the constitutional amendments are adopted?,” a total of 136 out of 217 respondents stated that the country will have a regress in democratic development. Another 74 people, however, said it is all the same for most Azerbaijanis as to what will be amended in the Constitution, and they are not interested in details.

On September 26, a referendum on constitutional amendments will be conducted in Azerbaijan.  

Pursuant to the draft constitutional amendments submitted by President Ilham Aliyev, the Azerbaijan President’s term in office shall be extended from five to seven years.
