Caroline Cox hopes international observers will give fair assessment to Azeri election

PanARMENIAN.Net - Baroness Caroline Cox, Vice Speaker of the UK House of Lords, issued a commentary on the election campaign in Azerbaijan.



"From the standpoint of regional developments and restoration of rights of people, living in the region, I highly appreciate the progress of the countries towards the establishment of democratic institutes. I have repeatedly been to the NKR during the elections and I can testify that the NKR has consistently received favorable reports from independent international observers commending their achievement of free and fair elections," she said.



"I am aware that Azerbaijan will hold presidential election on October 15. However, it is apparent that democratic election is impossible there, for the Azerbaijani authorities have suppressed the opposition."



"Being a person who has taken a direct part in the realization of just and fair demands of the Armenian people, I believe that the independent observers representing the international community will cover the election process with justice and integrity, what is extremely important for the people of Azerbaijan," Baroness Cox said.
