A press group established near Central Election Commission (CEC) reviewed complaint submitted by Deputy Chairman and Executive Secretary of New Azerbaijan Party (YAP) Ali Ahmadov against the presidential candidate Igbal Agazadeh, APA reports.
Head of the press group Azer Tagiyev said chairman of Umid Party Igbal Agazadeh’s campaign CDs were spread in the regions before the start of campaign on September 17.
CEC member considered it as a violation of law and suggested to watch a part of videotapes on CD. Igbal Agazadeh’s representative Anvar Agazadeh said that there were no any tapes campaigning for the Agazadeh’s candidacy. He said these CDs were spread among the party members in 2007 during the party’s campaign. “We stopped spread of CDs in May and we have not spread any disks since start of election campaign”.
Member of the group Almas Gahramanli said there were no campaign signs in the disks and it agitated only Agazadeh’s lawmaking activity. Tagiyev proposed to make formal notice to Agazadeh, but some of the group members voted against this proposal. Therefore Ahmadov’s complaint will be reviewed at the CEC next meeting.
CEC rejected Azerbaijan Internews Public Union’s appeal for joining the Mediaforum website to the presidential election campaign arguing that Internews is financed from abroad. /APA/
