Appointment of Mehriban Aliyeva as the First Vice President of the Azerbaijan Republic is the correct decision, made by President Ilham Aliyev, the Deputy Chairman of the Duma Committee on Family, Women and Children, TV presenter Oksana Pushkina said in an interview to the correspondent of Vestnik Kavkaza, commenting on the choice of the official second person in the state. The decision was made by the Azerbaijani president on the February 21st.
"I believe that the appointment of Mrs Mehriban Aliyeva is an amazing decision. I know the first lady of Azerbaijan for ages, I know her level of competence, she is not an indifferent person, she plunges into any problem,’’ the deputy said.
She noted that the appointment of Mrs Mehriban Aliyeva as a First Vice-President can serve as a motivation for many women.
The Deputy Chairman of the Duma Committee on Family, Women and Children says, that the second person in the country must be a woman. "I say this not because of feminist beliefs. In my opinion, this is a reasonable equilibrium in the history of politics, because women are more flexible by nature. That means, that Azerbaijan goes the right way,’’ Oksana Pushkina concluded.
