MOSCOW, November 8 (RIA Novosti) - The Russian Foreign Ministry does not share the opinion of OSCE observers and has said the degree of violations in Azerbaijan's parliamentary elections did not warrant questioning the legitimacy of the elections.
"The elections on the whole were held in accordance with the acting Azerbaijani legislation. There were violations. There are always violations in elections. They were registered by Russian observers as well. However, the scale of the violations does not call for questioning the legitimacy of the election results," a ministry statement said.
