Aydin Abbasov, deputy of Azerbaijan Milli Mejlis:

“I arrived at voting station No.166 of Tashkent early in the morning, and it was already full with voters. Such activity of the voters is amazing.

“Based on monitoring the election process, I can say it fully complies with democratic principles. The elections are held on a multi-party basis. The strengthened participation of political parties in modernization of the country will bring high results in the future.

“It is important that voters who cannot visit voting stations, including the disabled, the elderly and those undergoing treatment, can vote at their place of residence or at hospitals. This is a demonstration of the protection of the people’s rights and interests in your country.

“Every time I visit your country I become a witness of huge changes in various spheres. Uzbekistan’s architectural and cultural monuments, as well as its nature amaze me. Those who visit Uzbekistan once, want to visit this country again.”
