A candidate for presidency, the head of the "East-West" Center, Arastun Orujlu, did not collect 40,000 signatures needed to register it, he wrote about on his page on facebook.
"For us the election is over. We did not manage to collect the required number of signatures," writes Orujlu.
Responding to questions from Turan, Orujlu said he intends to support the opposition candidate. In the case of a sound atmosphere, the chances of the opposition candidates will be higher. "However, the reality is that all the resources are in the hands of the authorities, and one should not expect a miracle. There is a tradition of election fraud, and therefore it is possible to predict the formal results," summed Orujlu. –03B06-
