of Azerbaijan to the voters in the Khankendi
Constituency Election Commission (Con.EC) #
122 related to start of functioning of this
Con.EC in the third call Elections to the Milli
Majlis of the Republic of Azerbaijan
The conduct of third
call Elections to the Milli Majlis of the Republic
of Azerbaijan was appointed to November 6, 2005
by the Order of Mr. I.Aliyev, President of the
Republic of Azerbaijan dated on July 4, 2005
and the elections have already been given hint
to start. Being the body conducting all elections
in our country, Central Election Commission
of the Republic of Azerbaijan has established
all facilities for the conduct of elections
under transparent, democratic and legitimate
conditions, as well as for the realization of
rights of all citizens having suffrage and Azerbaijani
citizens of armenian origin to elect and be
elected implied by Articles 2 and 56 of the
Constitution of the Republic of Azerbaijan.
Armenia that occupied 20 % of the territories
of Azerbaijan did not pay attention to the resolutions
and challenges of UNO, Council of Europe, Union
of Europe, Islamic Conference Organization and
other international organizations concerning
to the prevention of invasion and peaceful settlement
of the conflict and has offended the rights
and freedoms of thousands of citizens of the
Republic of Azerbaijan who were driven out of
their lands and live under occupation.
Citizens of the Republic of Azerbaijan of armenian
nation were made laughing-stock of a group of
political speculators as the result of the creation
of imaginary separatist regime in the large
part of the territory of the Republic of Azerbaijan
under occupation and the upper territory of
Karabakh by the Republic of Armenia and they
were also deprived of active and passive suffrage
besides constitutional rights provided to them
by the state which they are citizens of. Efforts
of the imaginary body to form electoral view
for several times does not ensure guarantee
for their legal rights and Central Election
Commission of the Republic of Azerbaijan calls
Azerbaijani citizens of armenian origin to prevent
separatist regime in territories under occupation
in order to ensure their own constitutional
rights.
Election rights of citizens of the Republic
of Azerbaijan having suffrage who had to leave
their native lands because of the invasion were
ensured in elections and referenda at the first
opportunity up to now. At this time, not any
distinction was laid among citizens of the Republic
of Azerbaijan. Organization of Khankendi Con.EC
# 122 – one of some IDP constituencies established
within the country also was in this aim.
Peaceful policy, careful attitude to the fate
of its own citizens and wish of the Azerbaijani
state for all citizens to derive advantage from
increasing economical power and democratic values
formed necessity for functioning of the above-mentioned
constituency.
Relevant measures must be taken pursuant to
requirements of Election Code of the Republic
of Azerbaijan to provide citizens of the country
who lived and live within this constituency.
Azerbaijani citizens of armenian origin in Khankendi,
Shusha, Khojali, Khojavend and other residences
in the region can realize their active suffrage
in Khankendi Con.EC # 122 and Shusha-Fuzuli-Khojali-Khojavend
Con.EC # 124 and their passive suffrage within
the all areas of the Republic of Azerbaijan
together with their countrymen.
Central Election Commission believe that regardless
of their national origin, all citizens, as well
as citizens of armanian origin will participate
in the elections and gain all opportunities
to enjoy their other rights provided to citizens
by the Azerbaijani state.
