The Press Group of CEC saw rule violations to the campaign by the Azerbaijan missions of Radio Liberty, The Voice of America and the BBC.
At a meeting, which includes representatives of the pro-government media and CEC, it was noted that the "investigation" of material found in the media was "purely propaganda material."
In particular, Radio Liberty inviting candidates for president Hafiz Hajiyev, Zahid Oruj, Gudrat Gasanguliyev and Jamil Gasanli to distribute their interviews is regarded as a violation.
It was decided to give warnings to both the media and the candidates themselves. -16D
