“Our MPs have visited several polling stations. They have not registered any law violations during the voting. Elections take place in a quiet, free, transparent and democratic environment. After the voting is over Azerbaijani observers will make a statement on the results of monitoring”, said chief of Azerbaijan-Georgia parliamentary working group, member of an international observation mission Aflatun Amashov.
