The Russian Foreign Ministry condemns the "biased" assessments of the OSCE/PACE mission
Moscow/14.04.18/Turan: "We understood perfectly and said that the mood of a number of political forces for the negative perception of the elections in Azerbaijan was obvious even before they were held. We see this attitude among a number of Western non-governmental organizations, representatives of the Western officialdom, not only against Azerbaijan, but also a number of other countries, when there is such an engaged, preconceived approach to elections. We proceed from the fact that there were a large number of observers who recorded all this. They must provide their opinion, on which they need to rely," stated at a briefing in Moscow the head of the press service of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova, commenting on the criticism of the OSCE/PACE mission on serious violations of the presidential elections in Azerbaijan. -02D-
