Armenian MOD Head: Baku Militant Statements Display Of Electoral Hysteria

I. Aliyev’s party will most likely win the parliamentary election in Azerbaijan. Armenian Defense Minister Serge Sargsyan stated during a conversation with journalists October 11. When asked whether the authority leaning party may win by means of gerrymander, S. Sargsyan answered, “It is not possible to win election by gerrymander. However, there are international organizations for assessing phenomena of this kind and they will voice their opinion. Besides, there will be so many assessments on these days that our voice is inappropriate.”
Touching upon possible escalation of tension in the Karabakh conflict zone within the period of parliamentary election in Azerbaijan, the Armenian MOD head stated the situation in the conflict zone is rather quiet. “I rule out the possibility of tension appearing in the conflict zone. For example, seven months ago the situation was totally different from that now,” S. Sargsyan stated. At that the Minister noted that the militant statements of the Azeri party are nothing but election hysteria. “Election is a peculiar element, however I cannot fancy the size of that element. Azerbaijan’s stand over NK issue will clear out in two months,” Sargsyan said, reported IA Regnum.
