YEREVAN, OCTOBER 11, ARMENPRESS: Armenian defense minister Serzh
Sarkisian prophesied today Azerbaijani president Ilham Aliyev’s New
Azerbaijan party’s victory in November 6 parliamentary elections,
but declined speculations that Aliyev and his allies could win the
elections only through massive vote-rigging. “Elections cannot be won
through vote-rigging, though there are international organizations
to assess the polls and besides there will be so many assessments
that our voice will be inappropriate,” he said to journalists.
