ICFJ is pleased to welcome you to the first-ever pre-election forum in Azerbaijan. The purpose of the program is to generate discussion about issues important to this country on the eve of its presidential elections. A panel of distinguished guests will discuss political pluralism, civil society and economic development. Throughout the evening, the studio audience can ask questions to panelists relating to these three topics.

The program is being broadcast live, worldwide, on the internet as a TV webcast – this is the first time such a event has ever been broadcast on the internet from Azerbaijan.
