"We have no agreement on Nagorno Garabagh referendum, we will have
discussions on the eve of the Azerbaijani and Armenian ministers'
meeting on November 14 in Brussels and determine our position on the
referendum," OSCE Minsk Group co-chair Yuri Merzlyakov told the APA.
The referendum on Constitution will be held in Nagorno Garabagh on
December 10. There is a special paragraph in the constitution to be
accepted by referendum on separatist Nagorno Garabagh regime.
Foreign Ministry Press and Information Policy Department Tahir
Tagizadeh told the APA world community and OSCE Minsk Group co-chairs
should estimate Nagorno Garabagh puppet regime unambiguously.
"For Azerbaijan everything is clear - these actions are realized
by illegal regime, contradicts the Azerbaijani Constitution
and international legislative norms and can not influence peace
negotiations as to its features," he said. The diplomat considers
that the steps made by illegitimate regime can not achieve legal
results.
