The Reformist Communist Party of Azerbaijan (Azerbaycan Islahatçi Kommunist Partiyasi, often known as "CPA-2") is a political party in Azerbaijan. AIKP is led by Firudin Hasanov.
AIKP was formed in 1996, following a split from the Communist Party of Azerbaijan. AIKP developed close relation with the government of the country and for a brief period it was the only legally registered communist party in the country.
Hasanov was a candidate in Azerbaijan's 1998 presidential election and he arrived fourth obtaining 29.224 votes (0.87%).
Leaders of the other azeri communist parties describe Hasanov as a "traitor" for his collaboration with the government.
In 2000 the newspaper "Bu Gun" reported that Hasanov was considering a merger with the ruling New Azerbaijan Party, but then the press secretary Seyran Veliev told that the party had no intention of merging with NAP.[1]
