Azerbaijani ruling party: Pre-election situation in Azerbaijan is democratic enough

“Pre-election situation in Azerbaijan is marked by democratic atmosphere. All necessary conditions were created to conduct elections. The Government of Azerbaijan is taking and will continue to take necessary measures to hold parliamentary elections in accordance with legislation,” said Deputy Chairman, Executive Secretary of the New Azerbaijan Party, MP Ali Ahmadov said.

Ahmadov noted every party, which intends to join elections, is campaigning in accordance with the law. According to Ahmadov, the reason why opposition parties refused to participate in previous elections is that they realized their obvious failure without having public support

YAP Deputy Chairman said, “Azerbaijani public has adequately defined its position. Citizens`s participation in elections will be based on this position”.

Ahmadov underlined local authorities and governmental bodies permitted to stage rallies in relevant venues. YAP held rallies in those places. Ahmadov said opposition refuses to rally there because they want to send a message to international organizations that mass political actions are not allowed in Azerbaijan. The second reason is that opposition lacks social support.

“The primitive approach to political processes is an example of frivolous attitude to these issues,” he said.
