He said, when the election comes in our country, there are many discussions about who observed and who did not. If foreign observers come, they are welcomed, if not it doesn't even matter whether someone observes our polls or not. The next elections will be free, fair and impartial and there will be massive participation of people in the elections, Insha Allah.

So we will conduct our elections, our elections will be fair, free and impartial.
