The members of the Karabakh bloc intend to cooperate in a struggle against “current anti-democratic regime of Azerbaijan within the framework of the Constitution and in accordance with international law norms.” The parties will offer common candidates for 2013 presidential, 2014 municipal and 2015 parliamentary elections. Other political parties were invited to joint the bloc. Azeri puppet opposition seems to have run out of control. Still, the success of the struggle is unlikely, considering the fact that President Aliyev is the only one to run the show in Azerbaijan.
