Baku/14.10.13/Turan : Defense Minister Safar Abiyev met today with U.S. Ambassador to Azerbaijan Richard Morningstar.
According to the press service of the Defense Ministry, they discussed bilateral relations. Abiyev said that amendment 907 plays an inhibiting role and its initiators still "hold Azerbaijan at gunpoint."
Next Abiyev informed the Ambassador about the democratic presidential election on October 9 and on the negative and biased role of the OSCE ODIHR.
He also called biased evaluation by the U.S. State Department about the elections and expressed concern about this.
Continuing his argument, Abiyev remembered elections in Armenia in 2008, where despite the riots, the United States and the OSCE gave a positive opinion, and no pressure on the leadership of Armenia was exerted.
According to the press service of the Defense Ministry, Morningstar agreed with all of this, noting the need to revise Section 907 of the Act of Congress of freedom.
Referring to past elections in Azerbaijan, the ambassador said that the election is over, and Ilham Aliyev is the winner. As for sounding criticism, it will not affect the election results.
It should be noted that the U.S. Embassy did not issue a press release about this meeting and did not comment on the information from the Ministry of Defense. -02D-
