"The abolishment of the results in two constituencies is an indication that the Government of Azerbaijan is acting in response to the reported irregularities and fraud," said Adam Ereli, Deputy Spokesman of the US State Department.

A.Ereli stated that official Washington is pleased that the Government of Azerbaijan, through its Central Election Commission, is actively investigating the cases of fraud. "The government will re-run the election in at least two districts. I would also add that some cases of fraud, according to reports we have received, have already been referred to the Prosecutor General in Azerbaijan. And we expect more to be done and that the investigations, as they continue, be done impartially, thoroughly, transparently and, again, consistent with Azeri law and through Azeri institutions," said the spokesman.
