BAKU. Dec 4 (Interfax) - Azerbaijan will not recognize the results
of the referendum on the Karabakh constitution set to be held in the
unrecognized republic of Nagorno-Karabakh on December 10, a statement
by the Azeri Foreign Ministry says.
"Any constituent document on the Karabakh self-government may enter
into force only in the course of a well-considered, legal, democratic
and peaceful process, in which the Armenian and Azeri communities
take part on equal terms," the statement says.
The December 10 referendum "in the occupied region of Azerbaijan would
breach not only the norms and principles of the Azeri constitution
but also those of international law," the ministry said.
"Azerbaijan will never recognize the illegal Armenian-sponsored
acts which derive from the policy of fait accompli and which are in
total opposition to attempts to achieve lasting peace and regional
stability," the ministry said.
