Baku – Ashraf Aboarafe
Seven days before and after and during the parliamentary elections in Azerbaijan 2020, we monitored the whole process inside the capital Baku and regions like Juba, etc. Our cameras did not register any violations …
On the contrary, the electoral process took place in a democratic atmosphere full of transparency and objectivity and without any type of advertising of the candidates, whether followed to political parities or independent, according to the statements of their delegates …
We did not notice any pressure for any party, especially the ruling one led by President Ilaham Aliyev, who called for early elections despite enjoying the majority in the parliament at that time.
Rather, the development of infrastructure and superstructure in favor of all ages allover all sexes that Azerbaijan has experienced since its independence from the Soviet Union ..
Among the monitoring committees, was the Russian Federation and others that praised the healthy climate of the electoral process throughout the country … as well as being an eye- witness.
As for the issue of the arrest of 3 opposition party leaders and more than 100 activists, as some media outlets have published, this is completely disgraceful to health … as an eyewitness on the ground.
