In May 21, 2004 Nariman Gasimoglu, Chairman of Azerbaijan Center for Religion and Democracy, vice-chairman of Azerbaijan Popular Front Party was invited to the US Department of State to meet with Department officials. Wide discussion was held at the meeting on the current political situation and state of democratic processes in Azerbaijan. Participants exchanged opinions on the future of democratic processes and the role of the USA in promotion of democracy in the country with the main focus on urgent reforms in the electoral system which has many shortcomings allowing the authorities to falsify the outcomes of elections in favor of their political interests at each electoral level. Nariman Gasimoglu brought their attention to the religious situation as well which could be explosive and dangerous if Azerbaijan people would lose the hope for changes in the country in a democratic way.
