Washington is ready to do its best to achieve the conduct of free
and fair elections in Azerbaijan, US Ambassador Reno Harnish told
journalists.

Harnish said the Azerbaijani government has appealed to the United
States with regard to holding exit polls during the parliamentary
elections due in November.

“The United States is particularly experienced in this area and
our government will choose a more experienced company to conduct
exit polls.”

Touching upon the authorities-opposition dialogue, the Ambassador
said that his country welcomes holding such meetings, as they are
highly important on the eve of the elections.*
