Yerevan/Mediamax/. Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry stated today that
"the so-called "elections" of the local authorities scheduled by
the NKR separatist regime on September 18 show indulgences towards
Armenia's occupational policy".
"The self-declared regime established on the territory of the occupied
territories of Azerbaijan is an illegal structure. It was set up as a
result of the policy of ethnic cleansing realized by Armenia towards
the Azerbaijani community of the region. The so-called "elections" are
aimed at concealing Armenia's occupational policy and consolidating the
results of the occupation of Azerbaijan's internationally recognized
territories", the statement of the Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry reads.
The fifth elections of local governments over the years of independence
of the Nagorno Karabakh Republic (NKR) will be held on September
18. 251 election precincts are formed throughout the republic and 34
of them are located in Stepanakert.
There are already 3 registered candidates for the Stepanakert Mayor.
Current Mayor of the capital Vazgen Mikayelyan decided not to
participate in the elections.
