The Azerbaijan Communist Party is a political party in Azerbaijan that was established in 1992, following the dissolution of the Soviet Union. It aims to promote communist ideology and represents the interests of those who support socialist principles. The party has participated in various elections but has not gained significant political power in recent years. Historically, Azerbaijan was part of the Soviet Union, where the communist party played a dominant role in governance. After independence, the Azerbaijan Communist Party has struggled to maintain influence amid a shift towards more democratic and market-oriented policies in the country.
