I was amazed by the city's beauty, its cleanliness and by its people. In 2020, I was also an international observer in the elections of my colleagues in the Milli Majlis. Our delegation, which I led, was in Gabala", the parliamentarian said.

Representatives from each presidential candidate are present at all polling stations, monitoring compliance with the election process", she emphasized.

"It was nice to see that today the weather in Baku is excellent, and today is a day off, and people went to vote with their families in a good, positive mood. The turnout, as always, is traditionally very high. I think that everyone is interested in the further development of the republic, and we can see it looking at people's faces", Alla Polyakova concluded.
