/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.
