The Islamic Party of Azerbaijan ((アゼルバイジャン語:Azərbaycan İslam Partiyası) or ''AİP'') was an Islamic party in Azerbaijan. The Islamic Party of Azerbaijan was founded in 1991 in the town of Nardaran, which lies northeast of the capital Baku on the Absheron Peninsula, and is a lone stronghold of conservative Shi'a Islam in staunchly secular and religiously progressive Azerbaijan, and was officially registered in 1992. Its registration, however, was cancelled in 1995, and has not been revoked since. It advocated stronger ties with Iran and even proclaiming the state of Azerbaijan into an Islamic Republic as it rejected the ideas of pan-Turkism, regarding them as dangerous and utopian.〔(Jamestown.org Publications )〕 Nevertheless it was also an Azerbaijani nationalist party and was known for its fiery nationalist and anti-Armenian rhetoric and frequently advocated a military solution to the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict which is currently under Armenian occupation.〔(ISLAMIC PARTY OF AZERBAIJAN FOR MILITARY SOLUTION OF KARABAKH PROBLEM )〕 It was fiercely opposed and advocated a ban of proselytism and Christian missionary activities.〔(Article: AZERBAIJAN: AZERBAIJAN'S ISLAMIC PARTY WANTS CHRISTIAN MISSIONARIES BANNED.(Brief Article) )〕 The party was also anti-US, anti-Zionist and anti-EU and supported Hezbollah and its leader Hassan Nasrallah. The leader of the party was Movsum Samadov. In 1995, the Islamic Party of Azerbaijan and the Islamic Republic of Iran were respectively accused by the government of Azerbaijan of being covertly financed by some people in Iran, and Iran of covertly financing it, which Azerbaijan regarded as an interference in its domestic affairs, and which is illegal under Azerbaijani law. Therefore, the leaders of the Islamic Party of Azerbaijan were arrested and the Islamic Party of Azerbaijan was officially banned. Subsequently under the updated secular laws of Azerbaijan, Islamic parties and the formation of Islamic parties are now banned.〔(Article: Where We Stand Now by Ilham Aliyev )〕 On 7 October 2011, Haci Movsum Samadov, one of the leaders of the defunct Islamic Party of Azerbaijan was sentenced to 12 years in jail.〔(Azeri Islamic party leader sentenced to 12 years in jail ) AzerNews.az〕 ==See also== *Islam in Azerbaijan *Religion in Azerbaijan 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Islamic Party of Azerbaijan」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
