Baku. Elnur Mammadli - APA. New Azerbaijan Party (YAP) sent letter to
the OSCE Minsk Group co-chairs in a protest against the "parliamentary
elections" scheduled by the Armenian separatist regime of Nagorno
Karabakh on May 23.
YAP said conducting elections by an unrecognized separatist group in an
occupied zone was against the norms and principles of international
law and couldn't be recognized as legitimate. The existence of
a separatist regime which was not recognized by any country or
international organization is a result of occupation of 20 percent
of Azerbaijani lands by Armenia.
YAP regrets that despite resolutions of the UN Security Council, the
Council of Europe and OSCE, as well as Minsk Group efforts. Aggressive
Armenia keeps the Azerbaijani lands under the occupation for more than
20 years. "The so-called election campaign organized by the Nagorno
Karabakh separatist regime is an attempt to gain legitimacy for
the separatist regime before the international community. This is an
aggressive action against the sovereignty of the Republic of Azerbaijan
and it is seriously preventing peace talks and good will goals".
YAP said in its letter that the "elections" would have negative
impact on the negotiation process over the conflict solution:
"New Azerbaijan Party is resolutely condemning the next "election"
sabotage and considering it as a serious obstacle to the negotiation
process and expecting from the OSCE Minsk Group co-chairs' objective
reaction to that".
