Five parliamentary elections were held in Azerbaijan, and all of them were accompanied by gross violations, Talysh political scientist Zahiraddin Ibragimov told reporters.

“The snap parliamentary elections planned in Azerbaijan will be held the same way as the previous five - they will be rigged,” he said.

The expert expressed confidence that the candidates would not be elected, but appointed from above. 

“This will continue Azerbaijan until reforms are carried out,” he said. “Only a few people were removed from key posts, this is called reform.”
