Azerbaijan has perfectly coped with such an important task as the organization of the presidential election, Israeli Knesset member Konstantin Yoel Razvozov, who is observing the presidential election in the country, told Trend on April 11.
"So far, we have visited several polling stations in two and a half hours. I can say that the election process is running smoothly and without any violations," he said.
