Elchibeyism (Azerbaijani: Elçibəyçilik,[1][2] elçibəysevərlik)[3] or Elchibey's path (Elçibəy yolu),[4] refers to the political ideals of one of the leaders of the Azerbaijani Popular Front,[5] and the second President of Azerbaijan, Abulfaz Elchibey (who was in power in 1992–1993). It is characterized by democratism,[6][7] republicanism,[8] social justice,[9] Azerbaijanism, Pan-Turkism, advocation of Whole Azerbaijan,[10] loyalty to the principals of the Azerbaijan Democratic Republic[11] and pro-Turkey ideas.[12] After the resignation and death of Elchibey, various parties, organizations and politicians remained attached to Elchibeyism. According to Panah Huseyn, who was the prime minister during Elchibey's reign, Elchibeyism, which has been in opposition since 1993, is the ideological rival of the New Azerbaijan Party government and Aliyevism.[13]
Some compare the ideals of Elchibey with those of Mahammad Amin Rasulzade, one of the founders of the Azerbaijan Democratic Republic, and call this ideology the Rasulzadeh-Elchibey path (Rəsulzadə-Elçibəy yolu).[8]
