Baku. Elnur Mammadli -APA. The Central Election Commission of
Azerbaijan is working on the appropriate instructions and preparing
the work schedule for the upcoming presidential elections, said
Mazahir Panahov, Chairman of the Commission, APA reports.
He said the preparation of the work schedule according to the new
Electoral Code was about to be completed. He said the elections should
be announced 75 days before the voting. Therefore CEC will gather 77
days before and announce the elections. Panahov said participation
of Azerbaijani citizens of Armenian origin in these elections was
doubtful as it was during the previous elections. "CEC is making all
possible efforts, but Armenian government should create conditions
for that. We appealed international organizations on this issue,
but there are no real results yet".
