"Elections to the Majlisi Namoyandagon of the Majlisi Oli of Tajikistan are fully compliant with the legislation of the Republic of Tajikistan. Moreover, we observe very high activity, and I believe that when the results are summarized, the turnout will be quite high as well. I see that this is a holiday for people, because, indeed, the election of people's representatives is always a very responsible process. Moreover, the state has gone through difficult years, and thanks to the efforts, wisdom and resilience of President Emomali Rahmon, Tajikistan is moving in a good, correct and precise direction towards prosperity and dynamic development both in the economical and political life. I hope that after these elections, the state will continue its course to the unification of the people, economic reforms and further prosperity," said Viktor Rogalev.
