There is only one solution to "liberate" "the territories of Azerbaijan" - the war, stated Chairman of the Islamic Party of Azerbaijan Hajiagha Nuriyev in a conversation with a Caucasian Knot correspondent. The leader of the Islamists also criticized the US policy towards Azerbaijan. In his words, official Washington pursues a double policy towards Azerbaijan. "The US not only provides much financial assistance to Armenia, but also supports the Nagorno Karabakh "separatists." It is an indicator of official Washington double policy." Having touched the issue of peaceful talks the Party Chairman noted that those talks would not have a notable effect. It should be reminded that official Azerbaijan is becoming closer with the Organization of Islamic Conferences of late and an Islamic youth forum is held in Baku on these days. There are two groups of Islamists, operating in Azerbaijan. The first, represented by the Islamic Party, adheres the Shiite direction of Islam, traditional for Azerbaijan. However, Islamism in its Wahhabism version, with a center in Abu Bakr mosque in Baku, is much more spread among the youth. After the defeat of the opposition, tending towards the West, in the opinion of many political scientists, Islamists can become an actual political force in Azerbaijan in a few years.
