AZERI CEC LAUNCHING ELECTION DISTRICT FOR KARABAKH POPULATION - OPEN PROPAGANDA MOVE

PanARMENIAN.Net - The decision for the Central Electoral Commission (CEC) of Azerbaijan to launch an electoral district is an open propagandistic move, head of the Department of Conflictology and Migration of the Institute of Peace and Democracy Arif Yunusov stated in an interview with PanARMENIAN.Net In his words, "the decision to reserve places for Azeri deputies in Nagorno Karabakh (NK)was a similar one in its time, as everyone knew and understood well that Azeris will not take part in the vote in NK." Now it is clear that Armenians will not participate, he noted. "Moreover, the actions of Azeri authorities are very inconsequent. If they have announced creation of an electoral district for NK population, let them admit Armenian observers to monitor the election first. But they announced creation of districts and then denied Armenian journalists (if I am not mistaken) entry to Baku to observe the election due to them being on the opposed side," A. Yunusov added. In his words, Azeri authorities have to change many other things as well. "At least they should not hamper contacts between populations, representatives of NGOs, etc. This is for the sake of peace and our peoples," the political scientist summed up.
