`Venice Commission’s initial opinion on Azerbaijani referendum is not true`
The Venice Commission’s initial opinion on the upcoming referendum in Azerbaijan is a political order, said Shahin Aliyev, head of Department of Legislation and Legal Expertise of Azerbaijan’s Presidential Administration.
“Azerbaijan and the Venice Commission have always shown respect for each other’s opinion,” said Aliyev. “To date, I have not seen the Venice Commission write an opinion about any draft law in three months.”

He noted, the position of the Azerbaijani side has to be studied before issuing an opinion about a draft law.

“But this procedure has been violated as to the draft referendum. This opinion was developed in two weeks following the PACE president’s request on Sept.6. We’re deprived of our right to being heard,” the PA department head added.
