EU High Representative Says Nagorno Karabakh Parliamentary Elections
are Illegal
12:08 - 22.05.10
Catherine Ashton, High Representative of the European Union for
Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, said in a statement that the EU
"does not recognize the constitutional and legal framework within
which the parliamentary elections in Nagorno Karabakh will be held."
"I would like to recall that the European Union does not recognize the
constitutional and legal framework within which the "parliamentary
elections" in Nagorno Karabakh will be held this Sunday. This event
should not prejudice the peaceful settlement of the Nagorno-Karabakh
conflict. I reiterate our firm support to the OSCE Minsk-Group, and
the work of the three Co- chairs and their efforts towards a
settlement of the conflict, and call on the parties to redouble their
efforts to find a negotiated solution to the conflict. I recall the
EU's readiness to offer further support to this end," said Ashton.
Parliamentary elections in Nagorno Karabakh are set to take place on
May 23. Four parties will participate in the elections - Free
Homeland, Democratic Party of Artsakh, Communist Party of Artsakh and
the Armenian Revolutionary Federation (Dashnaktsutyun, ARF-D).
