The **Alliance Party for the Sake of Azerbaijan** (APSA) was founded on **November 17, 1994**, on National Revival Day, by Abutalib Samadov, following his departure from the Azerbaijan National Independence Party (ANIP) due to disagreements. Samadov and his supporters aimed to create an independent political entity dedicated to strengthening Azerbaijan's independence and territorial integrity.

The party's primary goals focused on promoting national sovereignty and resisting external threats to Azerbaijan's integrity. Over the years, APSA played an important role in Azerbaijani politics, particularly in resisting coup attempts and providing support to President Heydar Aliyev during the 1994 and 1995 coup attempts.

APSA participated actively in Azerbaijani elections, including the **parliamentary elections of 1995, 2000, and 2005** and the **presidential elections of 1998 and 2003**. These elections provided APSA with an opportunity to influence the country's political landscape.

In 2023, the Alliance Party for the Sake of Azerbaijan officially ended its political activities. The decision marked the cessation of one of Azerbaijan's long-standing political forces.
