Yerevan, July 25, ARMENPRESS: Azerbaijan has no serious
counter-arguments against the NKR democratic elections. As "Armenpress"
reports the political interpreter Rauf Mirkadirov has written about
this in the Azerbaijani "Zerkalo" newspaper.
To his word, the Parliamentary elections of Armenia and the
democratic presidential elections of NKR are going to be used against
Azerbaijan for exerting pressure, which does not have any serious
counter-arguments in this dispute.
The author notes that in the recent Armenian Parliamentary elections
the ruling Republican party and its ally "Legal State" party received
less than 50% of the voters in the proportional system. If not the
deputies elected by the plurality system the Armenia's ruling party
could not make a majority in the Parliament. At the moment 40% of the
Armenian Parliament deputies are the opposition representatives. In
the NKR presidential elections the opposition candidate received the
1/3rd part of the voters.
"What do we see in Azerbaijan? In the Azerbaijani Milli Mejlis only
10 MPs represent not an opposition but the so called parliamentary
minority. It is even less than the 10% of the Parliament. But it is
not all. The majority of the deputies representing the parliamentary
minority jointly vote with the ruling majority. Thus, the deputies of
the Parliament, which can be at least characterized as an opposition,
are not more than 3%.
As for the upcoming presidential elections in Azerbaijan, the
"Independent-pro-government" sociological surveys services have
already announced that the ruling party's candidate, the current
president of the state Ilham Aliyev will get "a bit less than 100%"
of the voters. Such things never happen in democratic states",
outlined the Azeri political interpreter.
