“Parliamentary elections in the Republic of Azerbaijan were organized and conducted in line with the national legislation and in accordance with the rules and procedures developed by the Central Election Commission,” Altai Efendiev, GUAM Secretary General, said at a press conference on the outcomes of the snap parliamentary elections in Azerbaijan.

He said that on the election day, they toured several stations in Yasamal, Sabail and Narimanov regions: "As a group, we believe that proper conditions were created for people to express their opinions and wishes freely. Voter turnout was quite normal, even higher in several polling stations. Conditions were created for voting and activity of the commission in the polling stations as well. Based on our observations, we can say that no significant irregularities were recorded in the elections. " Only minor, non-essential comments were conveyed to the commission members at the polling stations, but I believe these had no impact on the election process.," he added.

The Secretary General said that the voters were sufficiently informed about the candidates, and the candidates were equally represented on the ballots.

Efendiev stated that the voting process was conducted in a sufficiently competitive manner, in general the election can be considered free and fair.
