(MENAFN- Trend News Agency)
BAKU, Azerbaijan, September 4, Biased
assessments of the elections in Azerbaijan by Western structures do
not correspond to reality, Trend reports.
This is stated in a statement by the Russian Foreign
Ministry.
"Westerners and international structures affiliated with them
have once again expressed biased and subjective assessments that do
not correspond to the real picture of the Democratic process in the
republic. The observers sent by the Russian side through the OSCE
ODIHR (Office for Democratic Institutions and Human Rights) did not
record any gross violations of citizens' electoral rights," the
Russian diplomatic mission's website says.
"We expect that close and constructive cooperation will continue
between the new composition of the deputy corps of the Milli Majlis
of the Republic of Azerbaijan and the Federal Assembly of the
Russian Federation, in line with the allied relations between our
countries," the ministry noted.
It should be noted that on September 1, early parliamentary
elections were held in Azerbaijan.
A total of 112,749 local observers were registered to observe
the elections. More than 65 thousand of them are representatives of
political parties. The number of registered international observers
was 598 people, representing 51 organizations and 69 countries.
Of the 990 registered candidates for the parliamentary
elections, 305 are representatives of 25 political parties.
ХAlthough 371 candidates are members of political parties, they
were not nominated by the parties to which they belong. A total of
676 candidates have a political party affiliation.
