Baku / 09.02.20 / Turan: In the 76th Lankaran-Astara District, a member of the precinct election commission with an advisory vote and an observer representing candidate for deputies Khalid Bagirov were beaten and expelled from polling station number 30. He informed Turan about this.
Pressure was exerted on these persons at the direction of the head of the precinct election commission. However, the chairman of the district election commission of the 76th district, Mazahir Aliyev, denied this information, calling it "a lie and slander."
A candidate for deputy in the 29th Sabail constituency, Bakhtiyar Hajiyev, was not allowed to go to the 6th precinct, stating that he had to register in advance. However, according to Hajiyev, this is not the case in the election code. The district election commission recognized that the restriction was imposed in connection with the expected arrival of President Ilham Aliyev at the polls. Later, Hajiyev was yet allowed in.
At the polling stations of the 30th Surakhany First District in Hovsan, the lights went out. This was announced by a candidate for deputy, lawyer Ziya Guliyev. The district commission recognized the fact of a power outage, but said that it did not violate the voting process and the energy supply has already been resumed.
Yusif Agayev, a candidate for deputy, told Turan that observers on the pretext of a limited place are not allowed everywhere at polling stations in the 84th Fizuli district. Video filming is prohibited.
From the 29th polling station, observers were not allowed to the polling place, and one observer was taken to the police station.
In almost all sections of the ballot boxes there are very wide gaps and you can throw piles of ballots there. At sections 2 and 4, border guards are involved in the "roundabouts", and at
36th – teachers are.
General information on the number of sick voters to whom portable ballot boxes are sent is not provided. But at only one address such "patients" turned out to be 80 people, Agayev said. -06B-

Armenia is not against the dissolution of the OSCE Minsk Group, but does not consider it appropriate to discuss this issue now.
