After the Khankendi election constituency # 122 started its activity, the first candidate from this constituency was the representative of the “Azadlig” bloc, member of the Musavat Party Isi Baghirov.
I.Baghirov informed in his explanation to APA that he has already taken signature cards. I.Baghirov informing that the list of territories the residents of Khankendi live is prepared at present considers that they will not encounter any problems in signature gathering. According to his words, the Azerbaijani residents of Khankendi live mainly in Baku, Sumgayit, Ganja and Naftalan in a compact form. I.Baghirov informed that he himself is from Khankendi and is registered in this city and noted that he has connections with many of the people being registered in the territory of the constituency.

“That is, no problem will occur in conducting the election and propaganda campaign there. The main question is that the stations should be formed and we will determine our steps after this. I believe that the elections will be held in that constituency. Probably, the Central Election Commission will coordinate with Armenians living in Khankendi their participation in voting and they will give their votes”.

Though I.Baghirov wants to be elected a deputy from that constituency, he does not intend to make any appeal to Armenians being citizens of Azerbaijan. At the same time, he informed that most of Armenians of Khankendi know him and considers possible establishing connection with Armenians in any form in case their participation in the elections is possible.

“They know me well. But if any condition occurs there, I would like to conduct the election campaign. The process of registering the candidates is already conducted and there is no Armenian candidate among them yet. But I also do not exclude that such candidate will be among the candidates”.
