19 August 2005 [10:57] – Today.Az
“The process of forming the Khankendi election constituency # 122
was already completed. Probably, this question will be solved for
the last time in the next meeting of CEC”.
This explanation was given to APA by the secretary of the Central
Election Commission (CEC) Vidadi Mahmudlu. According to his words,
the personnel of the commission consisting of 9 persons were defined.
So, the Yeni Azerbaijan Party will be represented in the election
constituency by Nazim Veliyev, Vugar Ahmadov and Zahid Alishov,
neutralists Svetlana Gorchiyeva, and Naila Guliyeva, Communist Party
by Arif Aliyev, Musavat Party by Arzu Khudayarov, Democrat Party by
Zakir Huseynov, and PFPA by Teyyub Khalilov.
We should note that Zahid Alishov was elected the chairman of the
Constituency Election Commission. The representative representing
Armenians in the commission is Svetlana Gorchiyeva.
V.Mahmudlu also noted that a building was determined for the Khankendi
Constituency Election Commission which acted in the building of the
Central Election Commission up today and this building is situated in
the territory of Khatai region. We should note that, according to the
information by midday, 2 candidates appealed from that constituency
for participating in the elections. Another 3 persons presented
their applications today.
It was mainly intended to use electron voting for participation
of citizens of Azerbaijan being Armenians by origin living in the
territory of the Khankendi Election Constituency. Besides, election
stations will be created in foreign countries and territories situated
near the battle-field. As to Azerbaijani electors, stations will also
be established in territories where they live.
V.Mahmudlu noted that it was not determined how many stations will be
formed for the constituency; this will depend on the number in the
constituency. “The list of Azerbaijani and non-Azerbaijani electors
in the constituency is determined at present. This process and forming
stations will be finished recently. But we consider that assistance of
the international organizations will be used for obtaining elector’s
lists from Khankendi”.
As to the question about that in which constituency Azerbaijanis
removed from registration in this territory after leaving Khankendi
will give their votes the CEC secretary said that they work on
this question, too: “The position of CEC is that those people
must be included in the elector’s lists on the Khankendi Election
Constituency”.
According to the words of the CEC secretary supposing that the
elections will be held in the mentioned constituency, assistance
of the international organizations will be used for the propaganda
campaign of the candidates in the territory of Khankendi. “Some
organizations were already appealed in this connection; definite
works must be realized in this direction. Some of these works were
already realized and consulting is conducted with the international
organizations. But participation in the elections is the right of
the citizen. They also have the right to renounce the elections in
parallel with putting their candidacies forward”.
