The Baku Court of Appeal dismissed the appeal from the NCDF head Rustam Ibragimbekov against the Central Election Commission on Aug. 30. According to the appeal, CEC unreasonably refused to approve Ibragimbekov as presidential candidate, the lawyer Fuad Agayev told Turan. The counsel considers unreasonable decisions of the CEC and the Court of Appeal and announced his intention to appeal to the Supreme Court.
CEC motivated its refusal to approve Ibragimbekov as candidate for presidency with his dual citizenship.
However, according to Ibragimbekov, there is a difference between "dual citizenship" and "second citizenship". Dual citizenship provides for the mutual recognition of the status of citizens by the two countries on the basis of an international agreement . Azerbaijan and Russia have no agreement of the kind. -06D-
