    Statement by Azerbaijani Community of Nagorno-Karabakh region of
    Azerbaijan Republic



    [ 23 May 2010 00:07 ]
    Baku-APA. `Parliamentary elections' are scheduled to be held on May
    23, 2010 in Azerbaijan`s Nagorno-Karabakh region, which is under the
    occupation of the Armed Forces of the Republic of Armenia.

    APA reports quoting AzerTAc that the Azerbaijani community of the
    Nagorno-Karabakh declares that these `elections' constitute a grave
    violation of the Constitution of the Azerbaijan Republic, norms and
    principles of international law, and do not take into consideration
    the voting right of the Azerbaijani community of the Nagorno-Karabakh,
    who are the region`s native residents.
    Legitimate elections in the Nagorno-Karabakh region can be held only
    after the Armenian Armed Forces withdraw from the occupied
    territories, the Azerbaijani people return to their native lands and
    peaceful co-existence of the region`s Azerbaijani and Armenian
    communities is ensured.
    Armenia, in contradiction with norms of international law and Charter
    of the United Nations, and not honoring decisions on the
    Nagorno-Karabakh conflict adopted by international organizations, has
    repeatedly organized such `elections' in the occupied territories of
    the Azerbaijan Republic.
    The whole world is aware that the unrecognized separatist regime in
    the occupied territories of Azerbaijan is an illegal structure which
    was set up by Armenia after it conducted an ethnic cleansing of the
    Azerbaijani people.
    This is why international organizations, world countries do not
    recognize the `elections' in the Nagorno-Karabakh, which Armenia has
    been holding in order to conceal its policy of occupation.
    By its illegal actions, the Republic of Armenia, has been striking a
    severe blow to the ongoing peace talks in the framework of the OSCE
    Minsk Group, initiatives of the international community to establish
    peace and cooperation in the region and dialogue opportunities between
    the communities.
    The Azerbaijani community of the Nagorno-Karabakh hopes that the
    international community will strongly condemn Armenia`s
    non-constructive actions and take the most effective measures to force
    Armenia to stop its policy of occupation.
    We believe that the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict will be settled on the
    basis of norms of international law, that the Azerbaijani people will
    return to their native lands and peaceful co-existence between the
    region`s two communities will be ensured.
