    YEREVAN

    The chairman of the Central Electoral Commission of the Nagornyy
    Karabakh republic (NKR), Sergey Nasibyan, has described as "unfounded"
    Baku's statements that the 19 June parliamentary elections in Karabakh
    are illegitimate.

    The NKR proclaimed its independence in line with the norms of
    international law and is eligible to conduct elections in order to set
    up appropriate bodies of power, Nasibyan said in an interview with
    Mediamax new agency

    "Democratic processes of the elections to the National Assembly of our
    republic, which strives for international recognition of its
    independence, is a principled position of the NKR authorities, which
    have taken the path of building democratic civil society," Nasibyan
    said.

    He pointed out that "only authorities that are formed on the basis of
    free and transparent elections can be legitimate and capable of
    effectively ruling the republic".

    Nasibyan also said that the legitimately elected authorities of the
    NKR have been authorized by the people to conduct negotiations to
    settle the Karabakh conflict and bear responsibility for the
    commitments assumed before the international community.

    He described the statements of Azerbaijani officials as "senseless"
    that the forthcoming elections will negatively impact the process of
    settling the Karabakh conflict.
