    MOSCOW, August 31 (RIA Novosti) - Experts from the Commonwealth of
    Independent States (CIS), the loose union of countries that succeeded
    the Soviet Union, will monitor presidential elections in the Central
    Asian republic of Kazakhstan and parliamentary elections in Azerbaijan,
    in the Caucasus.

    Elections in Azerbaijan will take place on November 6, Vladimir
    Rushailo, CIS Executive Committee chairman and Russian Emergencies
    Minister, said Wednesday. The Executive Committee will start forming
    a mission shortly. "We intend to monitor election campaigns in all 125
    of the constituencies in Azerbaijan," he said. "We expect MPs, members
    of the CIS Interparliamentary Assembly, members of the Parliamentary
    Assembly of the Russian-Belarusian Union, and officials from the
    Central Election Commissions to take part in the monitoring," he said.

    Rushailo said the Armenian parliament was expected to set the date
    for a referendum on amendments to the constitution and to invite CIS
    experts to monitor it.

    Presidential elections in Kazakhstan will take place in December.
