ANDREAS GROSS IS SUSPICIOUS ABOUT THE ANNOUNCEMENTS OF SAMED SEYIDOV
The reporters about the activity of the democratic institutions in
Azerbaijan and political prisoners concluded the discussion of the issue
rather categorically.
In answer to the Azeri delegation head Samed Seyidov’s announcement that the
coming elections will be organized according to the democratic standards,
the main reporters Andreas Gross said, «In contrast to you, Mr. Seyidov, I
am not sure, but I hope that the coming Parliamentary elections in
Azerbaijan will be organized according to the democratic standards. As for
HOW – I do not know».
As for speeches of the Azeri delegation members about the setting free of
political prisoners, Mr. Gross invited attention to the fact, that the
famous political bodies who have been set free cannot take part in the
elections as deputies, and a number of political prisoners are still in
prison.
