Responding to questions from journalists on Monday after the presentation of the report of the National Council of the pre-election situation in Azerbaijan, Hasanli said that over 10 years, the Council of Europe  was not able to bring to Azerbaijan European values​. "On the contrary, Azerbaijan was able to "implement its values ​​in PACE," he said. It became possible also thank to the Turkish MP, Mevlut Cavusoglu, who headed the PACE  for several years, and lobbied on behalf of the ruling regime in Azerbaijan.

Hasanli noted that during the elections  he will rely on the people of Azerbaijan,  and not international organizations, and will  win the victory together  with the people.
