“There is nothing new in Prosecutor General’s acts. The Prosecutor’s Office working principle is determined like that.
This decision shows the capacity of the authorities on how fairly to hold parliamentary elections rather than puts my returning under suspicion. It also arouses suspicion to their statements on holding fair elections. How can it be understood that the government accuses the right-wing radical opposition of coup in 1992 on one hand and is making the analogy allegations against me on the other hand? Can you see the point?” - APA was told by co-chairman of Social Democrat Party of Azerbaijan, ex-president Ayaz Mutelibov. Suggesting forming a commission for investigating the activity of the Prosecutor’s Office, Ayaz Mutelibov said of this organization to interfere in the election process.

A.Mutelibov calling the reaction of the opposition to be natural in connection with abolishment of his immunity said that it is 10 years that this process is repeated and the society demands innovations, fundamental reforms and changes in the field of election legislation from the government: “It is a pity that this innovation is only the liberality shown in registration of candidates in election commissions. However, the actions of the prosecutor’s office draw a line on these innovations. In any case, the opposition forces, press, international organizations reacted to it. As to my opinion, the question will not be confined with it”.

A.Mutelibov saying that this decision of the prosecutor’s office is not the only program informed that solving these problems is insistently demanded by the Council of Europe and other international democratic institutions: “The concrete activity plan in this connection was determined by the “Yeni Siyaset” bloc and by ASDP I am the chairman of”. A.Mutallibov did not answer the question about which measures he will take in connection with abolishment of his immunity.
