The Foreign Ministry of the Nagorno-Karabakh Republic (NKR) has issued
a statement, responding to the Azerbijani authorities' reaction to
the recent municipal election in the country.
The full text of the statement is below.
"The September 18, 2011 municipal elections in the Nagorno Karabakh
Republic were another successful demonstration of the democratic
process. The authorities formed via free voting, which was evaluated
as such by numerous international observers, are called to continue the
permanent process of increasing the Karabakh people's self-organization
and consolidating the principles of an open and democratic society,
which is taking place in our Republic.
The NKR citizens enjoyed the right to free choice - the inherent
right of all the nations in the world. In this context, we consider
any criticism of the democratic processes in the NKR as groundless
and contradicting the modern tendencies of developing international
relations.
Besides, the NKR MFA considers it necessary to remind Azerbaijan that
its attempts to deprive the people of Nagorno Karabakh of the right
to democratic development and consolidation of a civil society are
doomed to failure, as well as expresses its concern about the lack
of similar processes in the neighboring Republic.
Also, the NKR Foreign Ministry appeals to the international community
for displaying a constructive and successive attitude towards all
the processes in the NKR, which contribute to the formation of an
open and democratic region of the South Caucasus".
