YEREVAN. – Azerbaijanis do not seem to show much interest in presidential elections slated for October 9, political analyst Arif Yunusov said during a space bridge.

“Registration of candidates for presidential elections was accompanied by pressure. Incumbent leader Ilham Aliyev was the first to register his candidacy, others appeared to have problems with documents,” he said.

He is convinced the candidates cannot have contacts with citizens, and the police are preventing them from having any contacts. Yunusov said this resulted in low level of public awareness and lack of interest in presidential vote.

People think that the central electoral commission has decided everything beforehand, the political analyst concluded.
