MOSCOW, Nov. 10 (Xinhuanet) -- The parliament
elections in Azerbaijan held last Sunday has proved to be an accomplished
ones,and there will be no orange revolution in the country, a Russian
high-ranking official alleged on Thursday.
"The parliamentary elections in
Azerbaijan are an accomplished fact. Nobody has any doubts that the real rating
of the Opposition is way below that of the ruling party," Modest Kolerov, the
chief of the Russian presidential department for inter-regional and cultural
ties with foreign countries, told a news conference in Moscow.
"As early as tomorrow the Azerbaijani Opposition will
inevitably begin to review its election performance. A change of generations and
the ultimate resignation of its leaders will be the main outcome," Kolerov was
quoted by the Interfax as saying.
On the same day, Azerbaijani ambassador to Russia
Ramiz Rizayevalso said there are no preconditions for "Orange Revolutions"
present in Azerbaijan.
Azerbaijan is developing dynamically, he said at a
Thursday press conference, believing the country has not been provided with the
conditions for "the revolution".
Asked about the actions of the opposition after the
November 6 elections, Rizayev said that the situation was rather complicated.
"Nevertheless these elections have been a step
forward for Azerbaijan. I would even say two steps forward in comparison with
what existed before," the ambassador said.
According to him, over 1,400 international observers,
including 300 from Russia, had participated in the elections. As of today,
election results have been cancelled in seven constituencies.
"Of course there were violations, but such violations
could notinfluence the electoral process nor its results," Rizayev said. Enditem
