one of the countries adhering to democratic principles, ensures the
democratic conduct of the presidential election by creating
favorable conditions for media activities, thereby ensuring media
participation in the electoral process following international
standards, a columnist and media consultant of Kuwaiti Al Seyassah

The Kuwaiti reporter emphasized that the aspect of media
activity regulation is particularly intriguing for him in the

among candidates. Furthermore, the openness of the Central Election

process on election day and even participate in the counting of
votes serves as a noteworthy international example,” he

assessed from an external perspective, it is evident that
Azerbaijan possesses democratic traditions.

country on February 7 will once again exemplify the tradition of
democratic election” he added.
