/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Chairman of the National Assembly of Nagorno
Karabakh Ashot Gulyan called "absurd" the Azerbaijani Central
Electoral Commission call to NKR citizens to take part in the
parliamentary election in Azerbaijan. "It is clear that there will
be no participation," the NKR Speaker said. As of the domestic
situation in Azerbaijan on the threshold of the election, he said it
"fully corresponds to our forecasts." "We are sure the election will
be held with shortcomings, unsanctioned rallies, pressure upon the
opposition and dispersal of rally participants," Gulyan stated. "I
think international observers will have an opportunity to assess the
electoral situation in Azerbaijan and compare it with that in Nagorno
Karabakh," stated Ashot Gulyan. Under the conditions of absence of
confidence between the parties to conflict, when Azerbaijan prevents
contacts between representatives of the two peoples, reaching a
settlement of the issue is impossible, he said when commenting on the
Karabakh settlement. Karabakh party's stand based on the NKR people's
right for state independence is unchangeable, Gulyan said.
