/PanARMENIAN.Net/ I. Aliyev’s party will most likely win the
parliamentary election in Azerbaijan. Armenian Defense Minister
Serge Sargsyan stated during a conversation with journalists
October 11. When asked whether the authority leaning party may win
by means of gerrymander, S. Sargsyan answered, “It is not possible
to win election by gerrymander. However, there are international
organizations for assessing phenomena of this kind and they will
voice their opinion. Besides, there will be so many assessments on
these days that our voice is inappropriate.”

Touching upon possible escalation of tension in the Karabakh conflict
zone within the period of parliamentary election in Azerbaijan,
the Armenian MOD head stated the situation in the conflict zone is
rather quiet. “I rule out the possibility of tension appearing in
the conflict zone. For example, seven months ago the situation was
totally different from that now,” S.

Sargsyan stated. At that the Minister noted that the militant
statements of the Azeri party are nothing but election
hysteria. “Election is a peculiar element, however I cannot fancy
the size of that element. Azerbaijan’s stand over NK issue will clear
out in two months,” Sargsyan said, reported IA Regnum.
