    TREND Information, Azerbaijan
    Nov 30 2006

    The actions of the Armenian separatists to hold a so-called
    "referendum" in Nagorno-Karabakh is doing nothing but attracting
    attention upon themselves, the Chairman of the Central Election
    Commission of Azerbaijan (CEC), Mazahir Panahov, informed Trend.

    Armenian separatists plan to hold a so-called "referendum" in
    Nagorno-Karabakh on 10 December, which is the occupied Azerbaijani
    territory, to implement their "constitution".

    Panahov stressed that the efforts of the Armenian separatists to hold
    a "referendum" and any other actions are illegal. "Such measures are
    aimed at only attracting attention onto themselves. We will discuss
    this issue and if necessary the CEC will provide an official statement
    on this issue. Even the international organizations have expressed
    their feelings in which they stressed that the events taking place
    in the self-voted regime are illegal. Therefore, there is no reason
    to be concerned," Panahov said.

    In addition, he stated that repeat elections will be held in 3
    municipalities, in which the results of voting on 6 October were
    canceled. The CEC will announce the date of the repeat elections. "We
    will try to hold these election in the near future," Panahov stressed.

    He added that at the beginning of December, the representatives of the
    Azerbaijani Government will hold a meeting in the Venice Commission
    of the Council of Europe and discuss the Electoral Code.

    According to the CEC Chairman, the laws are always in need of
    improvement and the reforms will be continued.

    "Azerbaijan closely co-operates with the bodies of the Council of
    Europe because Azerbaijan is a member of the organization. This
    co-operation will continue in the future," Panahov emphasized.
