[Presenter] The Council of Europe secretary-general, Terry Davis, is
in Azerbaijan. In an interview with journalists at the Heydar Aliyev
international airport, Terry Davis said that the main purpose of his
visit is to familiarize himself with the preparations for the November
parliamentary election. The secretary-general said that hopes are
high that the election will be held more professionally than before.
[Terry Davis, in English with Azeri voice-over] The election is
extremely important for Azerbaijan and we will discuss the pre-election
situation first. This is the basic aim of my visit to Azerbaijan. I
hope that this election will be held more professionally than before.
I shall discuss this issue at meetings with the Azerbaijani
authorities. I am not here to give my support to a political
organization or an individual. I support a just and fair election in
Azerbaijan. I am sure the election will be in full compliance with
Azerbaijan's interests. I think citizens will vote for individual
candidates. As for the Karabakh issue, I have always paid attention
to this problem.
