"The assessment of OSCE observers during elections of Armenian
President astonished me even greater than the very fact of
falsifications".

The due announcement was made by MP Zahid Orudj at a session today.

He reminded that OSCE observers said 85% of results were objective.

"This should be a warning for us about possible future decisions of the
OSCE. If they have expressed such an opinion on elections in Armenia,
they have no right to demand from us to introduce any amendments to the
election code. Putin was right when he said that OSCE representatives
would better teach their wives to cook", Orudj said.

The deputy considers that the announcement of the OSCE Mission
observers was prepared in advance and demonstrates their true face.

"Azerbaijan should not invite them to observe the elections. I call
on the government of Azerbaijan to reject cooperation with the OSCE",
Zahid Oruj announced.

Speaker Oqtay Asadov said in a response that Azerbaijan is an open
society and any international organization may observe elections in
our country.

"The difference between Armenia and Azerbaijan is that their political
parties and NGOs are afraid of their powers and can not express their
discontent before international organizations, which there are no
such restrictions for opposition in Azerbaijan", Asadov said.
