“OSCE PA intends to deploy an election observation mission to Azerbaijan in connection with early parliamentary elections to be held on February 9,” Nat Parry, Head of Communications and Press of OSCE Parliamentary Assembly, told APA.

“The planning is still in the early stages and it is difficult to say how large the PA's delegation of observers will be, but for the presidential election two years ago, we had about 50 observers. I'd expect a similar number for this election as well. As you may know, our partner organization OSCE/ODIHR has recommended the deployment of 30 long-term observers and 350 short-term observers,” Nat Parry stated.
