После того как способные, мыслящие потенциальные кандидаты находятся в тюрьме, если победитель известен уже до начала выборов, зачем этот фарс с кандидатами? Уже никто не верит ни в какую демократию или демократические выборы в Азербайджане. И сколько раз одному и тому же человеку можно баллотироваться в президенты? Сколько можно злоупотреблять своим положением и менять Конституцию под жадный аппетит своей семьи?
