By Elchin Mehdiyev - Trend:
Violators of the Azerbaijani electoral legislation will be punished in accordance with the law, Rustam Usubov, first deputy prosecutor general, said at a conference held for the chairpersons of constituency election commissions.
Azerbaijan has created a legal system that meets international standards and there are all the necessary conditions for holding a transparent and fair election in the country, he said.
Public and political stability and democratic electoral legislation in Azerbaijan give grounds to say with certainty that the upcoming presidential election, just like the previous ones, will be held with active participation of the people and in accordance with the law, he noted.
He added that the prosecution agencies investigate complaints and appeals related to the election.
There were no serious law violation appeals to the prosecution agencies during the previous elections in Azerbaijan, Usubov noted.
