If this goes on , the Azerbaijani government may review co-operation with the OSCE ODIHR. This was stated by head of the social -political department of the Presidential Administration of Azerbaijan Ali Hasanov, who commented on the critical evaluation by the observation mission of the OSCE ODIHR of the election results on October 9.
Hasanov is displeased that the assessment of the OSCE ODIHR did not match the statements of other international missions.
According to Hasanov, the conclusion of the OSCE ODIHR is not based on solid facts and relies on "false statements of opposition." This he considers to be a manifestation of "an extremely biased approach and far from the objective."
According to Hasanov, the statement by ODIHR damages the authority of the OSCE resulting in a negative impact on the relations of the organization with states.
Hasanov stated, the conclusion of international organizations cannot damage the image of the person elected as President of Azerbaijan . -16D-
