Baku, Azerbaijan, Sept. 26
Trend:
The video, shared on social media, about the allegedly committed falsification during the referendum on amendments to Azerbaijan’s Constitution is groundless.
Some social media and sites shared a video that allegedly a falsification was observed during the voting process, but this information is baseless and false.
Such actions are aimed to cast a shadow on the successful conduct of the referendum.
The referendum to make amendments to Azerbaijan’s Constitution kicked off at 08:00 and wrapped up at 19:00 (UTC/GMT +4).
As many as 117 international observers – MPs from over 30 countries as well as observers from various international organizations, including the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE) – have been accredited by Azerbaijan’s CEC to observe the referendum. The total number of the observers is around 53,000.
Azerbaijan’s President Ilham Aliyev signed a decree July 18 on submitting the draft Referendum Act “On making amendments to Azerbaijan’s constitution” to the Constitutional Court.
