Azerbaijan Votes
Registan.net has an excellent page of news on the imminent parliamentary elections in Azerbaijan.

Whatever happens will have significant ramifications for democratization in Armenia. Meanwhile, there’s an interesting op-ed by Elizabeth Jones, formerly assistant secretary of state for European and Eurasian affairs and U.S. ambassador to Kazakhstan, in the Washington Times.
