Commenting on the elections held on Sunday, he noted the presence of the observation mission of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe.
He said the EU supports elections based on international standards, conducted in a transparent and inclusive manner. In yesterday's elections one major opposition party did not participate, as it deemed that a level playing field was not guaranteed for all the candidates.
The EU looks forward to continuing cooperation with Azerbaijani institutions, including the newly elected Parliament, to the benefit of all citizens.
