I am young and independent intellectual and joined the Election Monitoring Center (EMC) observer group in Guba-Khachmaz region. I was registered in the Central Electoral Commission (CEC) as a long-term free observer. EMC authorities told us that we had to be registered in the Central and district electoral commissions, but then to work as an observer of ECM and not to mention name of EMC anywhere”, said EMC Coordinator Tarana Rafig Zaliyeva in her statement on Monday.
It was said in the statement APA obtained that they were urged to organize parallel accounting the votes on the Election Day and no governmental and non-governmental organizations should know about it. “I was always against such activity. I do not understand why EMC leader Anar Mammadli inspired us to work secretly and not to make statements for media, while speaking about the democracy and transparency”.
Zaliyeva said EMS falsified her report from 55th electoral district on October 10. I informed that YAP members in Khachmaz regional center and villages attended the party’s meeting. However EMC reported that as if YAP members were brought to the meeting by buses. There is no doubt that EMC will falsify election results too. I condemn the EMC activity and refuse to participate in the “election comedy” organized by this organization. I suggest to EMC leaders to announce the list of observers and sum of the grant they received”.
