said at a press conference on the results of the extraordinary
presidential elections that the elections were held in accordance
with the country's constitution and the requirements of
international legislation, Azernews reports.
S. Markov noted that we represent the group "Civic Dialogue". One
of the goals of our group is election observation. We conducted
observations at 30 polling stations, dividing them into four groups
with a staff of 20 people.
"Based on our observations, I can say that there was a long queue in front of the polling stations. We predicted in advance a high level of voter turnout at the elections. For the first time in the history of modern Azerbaijan, the elections covered the entire territory of the country. All international organisations will have to recognise that the elections were held fairly and freely," Markov stressed.
