Waiting Game

It is hard to tell what the Azeri people are going to do concerning the election that took place over one month ago. It seems as though they have just given up on trying to receive a permit to rally. With Aliyev growing in power and creating more restrictions on the media, the Azeri people need to step up to the plate and demand for change. With the next presidential election in 5 years, I do not think the Azeri people can wait that long to remove Aliyev from power, especially since his party is trying to remove the term limit. With Aliyev’s last term, if them term limit is removed, and then Azerbaijan is in some serious trouble that could result in an authorities system. It is important to keep an eye on that in the election in 5 years. Azerbaijan has some serious problems to fix before the next election or the people might create their own Rose Revolution.
