No country can be considered absolutely perfect but it is possible to say that Azerbaijan has developed during ten years.
“I would like to congratulate President Ilham Aliyev and all the people of Azerbaijan on the elections held in the free atmosphere,” Ojuland noted.
According to her, all the observers and representatives of the civil society were entitled to use Internet freely and it means that everyone could have expressed his opinion easily. According to her, representatives of the opposition of Azerbaijan were not active enough in using social media.
This election is one of the phases of the great progress of Azerbaijan, which has cultivated its relations and strategic partnership with the West during recent years.
