The US Department of State called for implementation of the important decrees of President Ilham Aliyev connected to the parliamentary elections in the country, the Washington-based correspondent of AzerTAc said. This was announced in the statement disseminated on November 4 by the Department of State’s press secretary Shon McKormak.

According to the Department of State, November 6 gives to the Azerbaijan Government opportunity to conduct elections adequate to international standards. Such elections with free expression of will of the people are not only important for future of Azerbaijan, but also for the deepening US-Azerbaijan relations.

Freedom of assembly is a part of the democratic election process, Mr. Shon McKormak underlined. Noting that the United States support peaceful participation of the Azerbaijan people in the elections, he called for full implementation of the 25 October Decree of President Ilham Aliyev including ensuring free assembly and refrain from interference by the executive power bodies to the election process.
