Baku, Fineko/abc.az. Habitants of Azerbaijani Daglig Garabagh region
occupied by Armenia will not be able to participate in further
presidential elections of Azerbaijan.

Khazar Ibrahim, Press-Secretary of Ministry of Foreign Affairs of
Azerbaijan, informed Fineko/abc.az that this fact is a gross law
violation.

"On one hand, the violation is nonparticipation of citizens living
at Azerbaijan’s occupied territory in past and further elections of
Azerbaijan (there are not only Azerbaijanis but also Armenians of
other nationalities living there), and on the other hand – Armenians
participate in presidential elections. For a long time Azerbaijan
applies definite international organizations. The organizations’
liability is to liquidate such misunderstandings and to carry out
measures at the moment," K.Ibrahim said.
